A gunman killed a social media influencer during a live stream in Mexico's volatile northwestern state of Sinaloa, authorities said Wednesday, a public killing that underscored ongoing violence targeting social media personalities in the Latin American nation. The influencer, César Gastélum, was killed on Tuesday night in Sinaloa state capital of Culiacán, officials said. Gastélum had more than 650,000 followers on TikTok, and more on Instagram and other social media platforms and would regularly post comedy videos and content layered over Mexican regional music. Messages of “rest in peace” were posted on Gastelum’s social media accounts on Wednesday. Sinaloa has in recent years been ravaged by warring between two factions of the Sinaloa Cartel.
