This was the murder of the TikToker Valeria Márquez in Zapopan
Valeria Márquez was murdered in her beauty salon, Blossom Beauty, on the afternoon of May 13. According to reports, one of her employees, identified as Erika, informed her that a delivery person had come to the salon to deliver a gift.
As Valeria was not there at that moment, the delivery person would have decided to come back later to give it to her personally. However, what was delivered was a hail of gunfire that ended her life immediately.
