Top security team investigating TikTok murder of Mexican beauty influencer
MEXICO CITY: Mexico's powerful security Cabinet is investigating the murder of a young beauty influencer killed as she livestreamed a video on TikTok, President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Thursday (May 15). Authorities say the death of Valeria Marquez, 23, is being probed as a possible femicide, the killing of women or girls for reasons of gender. The brazen killing has sent shockwaves through a country that faces high levels of violence against women. "An investigation is underway to first find those responsible and the motive behind this situation," Sheinbaum said in her regular morning press conference. "Our solidarity goes out to her family," she added. Marquez was killed on Tuesday in the beauty salon where she worked in the city of Zapopan by a man who entered and shot her, the Jalisco state prosecutor said. The prosecutor's office did not name a suspect. Seconds before the incident, Marquez was seen on her TikTok livestream seated at a table, clutching a stuffed toy. She was heard saying, "They're coming," before a voice in the background asked, "Hey, Vale?" "Yes," Marquez replied, just before muting the sound on the livestream. Moments later, she was shot to death. A person appeared to pick up her phone, with their face briefly showing on the livestream before the video ended. Paramedics at the scene confirmed she died of gunshot wounds to the head and chest, according to news outlet El Financiero. Marquez, who had nearly 200,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok, had said earlier on the livestream that someone came to the salon when she was not there with an "expensive gift" to deliver to her. Marquez, who appeared concerned, said she was not planning to wait for the person to return. "Up to this moment, there are no accusations against specific individuals," the Jalisco prosecutor's office said in a Wednesday night statement. Femicide can involve degrading violence, sexual abuse, a relationship with the murderer, or the victim's body being exposed in a public space, according to Mexican authorities. Sheinbaum said Mexico's security Cabinet, staffed by senior ministers, is working to solve the murder case with prosecutors. Mexico is tied with Paraguay, Uruguay and Bolivia as the countries with the fourth-highest rates of femicide in Latin America and the Caribbean, according to the latest data from the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, at 1.3 such deaths for every 100,000 women in 2023.

Horrifying moment TikTok influencer Valeria Márquez, 23, is shot dead by motorbike-riding gunman while live streaming to her followers at beauty salon
A Mexican beauty influencer was brutally murdered yesterday while live streaming to her followers after a motorbike-riding gunman opened fire on her salon. Footage shows the horrific moment 23-year-old TikToker and aesthetician Valeria Marquez was shot multiple times while broadcasting live from inside her beauty salon, Blossom the Beauty Lounge, in the western Mexican state of Jalisco. The video shows a smiley Valeria looking out the window momentarily before a bullet strikes her once in the chest and twice in the head. The influencer appears to place a hand over the gunshot wound near her ribcage before dropping dead. An unknown woman then appears in the clip, seemingly turning off the video. Initial reports say that a gunman entered her salon and shot her before fleeing on a motorbike. Paramedics rushed to the bloody scene, but Valeria was pronounced dead immediately. Police are currently investigating Valeria's murder and have cordoned off the salon, while a manhunt is underway. The influencer was known for sharing beauty and lifestyle videos with her 110,000 TikTok followers. An autopsy on the beauty guru's body will be performed in the coming hours, Infobae reported. A statement from the prosecutor's office said: 'According to the initial investigation, she was in her establishment when a man entered and apparently shot her several times with a firearm, killing her.' Valeria's senseless killing is just another example of the violence against women endemic Mexico is grappling with. Mexico has long been plagued by 'machismo' and violence against women, which can range from comments on the street to, in its most extreme form, acid attacks and brutal slayings of women. The horrific murder also comes days after Mexican mayoral candidate was tragically shot dead alongside three of her supporters including her daughter during a live broadcast of her campaign rally. Yesenia Lara Gutierrez, representing Mexico's ruling Morena party, was gunned down in the eastern Mexican state of Veracruz on Sunday night as she greeted residents in the streets of Texistepec. The horrifying incident was captured on a Facebook livestream, showing people running and screaming as gunshots rang out off camera. Mexican newspaper Reforma reported that the candidate was greeting 'women with children in their arms' when the gunfire began. Footage posted online depicted the chaos, with at least 20 shots head in the clip that was still available on Gutierrez's Facebook page the following day. Other images shared online appeared to show bodies in the street. Veracruz Governor Rocio Nahle, also of the Morena party of President Claudia Sheinbaum, said Monday that Gutierrez's daughter was among those killed by gunmen. 'No office or position is worth a person's life,' Nahle said in a press conference Monday, where she promised justice. Gutierrez had posted several images on Facebook, showing her campaigning throughout the region. 'The strength of our youth is the vitality that motivates me to keep walking day by day,' she wrote just hours before the shooting. This marks the second killing of a mayoral candidate in Veracruz during the current election cycle, following the April 29 murder of German Anuar Valencia, also from Morena. Nahle condemned the violence, labeling it an act of terrorism, and vowed to ensure security and democracy during the upcoming June 1 elections. She emphasised that 57 candidates had requested state and federal protection, although it is unclear if Gutierrez had done so. At a wake Monday in Texistepec, family and friends mourned Gutierrez and spoke about the fear the violence stirred around the election. 'We can't continue with the insecurity, we're tired of all of this, this is terrorism,' said supporter Joaquín Fonseca. 'There are five people dead, not one. We're living the worst of the terrorism.' President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed the attack on Gutierrez during her morning press conference on Monday, stating that her government is coordinating with Veracruz state officials and offering federal support if necessary. 'We're coordinating, particularly with the Secretary of Security, and with all the support needed during this electoral period from Veracruz and Durango,' she said, referring to the upcoming June 1 elections in the two states. The state's attorney general's office has launched an investigation into the incident, promising that justice will be served. The violent attack underscores the dangerous climate surrounding political campaigns in Mexico, where criminal groups often target local candidates to exert influence over municipal governments.

‘What?': Brit stumps with ‘Aussie' detail
A British beauty influencer has confused a lot of people after she described a particular look as originating from Australia, stumping many locals. Atlanta Daley-Smith, who is based in England, recently took to TikTok to share her attempt at an 'Aussie slick back bun'. 'I've seen them all over my For You Page and they look so nice, so I'm going to try and do one,' she said. To get the look, you need to start with clean hair before applying a styling product such as gel and mousse to your locks. Then, a comb or brush is used to slick the hair back. Ms Daley-Smith began by creating a middle part, then applying hairspray to her hair. She said she was keeping the two front pieces forward before slicking the rest back. She then brushed the front back and create some lift at the top of her hair. Clearly happy with the final product, she asked: 'Why is it slaying?' The clip, which has been viewed more than two million times, attracted a lot of confusion in the comments from Australians. 'As an Aussie, what is an Australian slick back,' one asked. One added: 'I'm an Australian hairdresser and I have no idea what an Australian slick back is.' 'As an Aussie I've never heard of an Aussie slick back,' another weighed in. One said: 'Um idk who be doing that.' 'As an Aussie since when did we have a Aussie slick back,' one social media user said. Despite many Australians in the comments being confused, there are 112 million videos in the search 'How to do Aussie Slickback' on TikTok, with videos clocking up 15.6 million views. Others said they'd seen it before — it was just that Ms Daley-Smith hadn't executed the look. 'Aussie hairdresser here. First I've heard of it but now you mention it haha that's so true, so many girls do this style hehe in Sydney anyway,' one said. Another chimed in: 'An Aussie slick back has more bumps but yours looks better.' 'That's not an Aussie slick back,' someone else wrote. One social media user said: 'This looks so good but it's not a real Aussie slick back.' Ms Daley-Smith told that she believed the confusion came different generations, saying she had a lot of comments from Aussie teachers that many of their students were doing this look. 'I think the confusion comes from the different generations, with the younger generations of Australians knowing what the style is,' she said. 'Where as the older may not have seen or heard about it. I'm overwhelmed with the response, I didn't expect the wide range of responses from around the world and Australians particularly! 'It's been lovely to connect with them in my comment section and share thoughts about this hairstyle. Being British myself with a low amount of Australian viewers I have seen a massive increase in followers from Australia which I am very grateful for!' She said she was a massive fan of the look, and was taking on board all the tips from Aussies on how to perfect it.
