The Valeria Márquez Femicide: A Livestreamed Tragedy
The episode discusses the murder of Valeria Márquez, a 23-year-old beauty influencer, who was fatally shot in her salon in Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico, while livestreaming on TikTok. Authorities are investigating the case as a femicide, a gender-motivated killing. Several sources mention a newly surfaced audio recording that allegedly reveals Márquez suffered mental abuse from an ex-boyfriend, who is now identified as Ricardo Ruiz Velasco, a high-ranking member of the CJNG cartel. Prosecutors also suspect hitmen may have been involved, noting a similar murder occurred nearby on the same day. While Mexican authorities have yet to make an arrest or confirm Velasco's direct involvement in the murder, the U.S. Treasury has frozen his assets due to his cartel links, with some reports suggesting jealousy over gifts Márquez received online could be a motive.
