Mexican TikTok Influencer Shot Dead During Live StreamMexican TikTok influencer César Gastélum was shot and killed while livestreaming outside a fast-food restaurant in Culiacán, Sinaloa, on Tuesday. Gastélum, who had more than 600,000 followers on TikTok, was reportedly approached by two helmeted individuals riding a motorcycle before he was shot. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed the killing on Wednesday, saying investigators must determine both who carried out the attack and whether anyone ordered it. The killing comes amid continued violence in Sinaloa, where rival factions of the Sinaloa Cartel have been fighting for control since 2024. Gastélum’s death also follows the May 2025 killing of beauty influencer Valeria Márquez, who was fatally shot while livestreaming from a salon in Zapopan, Jalisco.
