Mexican social media personality César Gastélum was fatally shot on Tuesday evening while livestreaming outside a fast food restaurant in Culiacán, northern Mexico. Gastélum, who had over 500,000 followers on TikTok, was filming with two friends in the Tres Ríos area when two men on a motorcycle approached them. One assailant shot him at close range.
The influencer, known for comedy videos, was initially mistaken for a delivery worker due to his bright orange jacket and delivery bags. Police secured the scene, gathering evidence and reviewing CCTV footage, but no arrests had been made. Authorities have not confirmed if Gastélum received any threats prior to the attack.
