Mexico's beauty influencer Alejandra Flores was livestreaming a video to her thousands of followers when she was shot dead during the broadcast. Authorities have not yet apprehended the suspect, with many in the community grieving the horrific incident.
The stream, which was published on the Instagram account of the Nueve Salon, where Flores worked, showed the 25-year-old quickly cutting the hair of a customer before she suddenly screamed, desks can be heard shifting, and three gunshots are fired.
According to reports, the video, which has since been deleted from Instagram, continued to play audio without any further movement, until another person entered the frame, turning the camera off.
On Tuesday night, Mexico's chief prosecutor, Jorge Winckler, shared on Twitter that they will be "conducting investigations" into the crime, requesting any witnesses, members of the media, or "members of the public" who have "information about the events" to get in touch.

The incident has shocked Mexico and sparked debates about safety, with many pointing out that the violence perpetrated against Flores is a stark reminder of the dangers that still exist for women and gender non-conforming individuals.
Many are looking to see if and how Mexican authorities will find the suspect and bring them to justice will such a process be different from other unsolved murders of female influencers? Will it be the same?
Conclusion:
As the investigation into Flores' murder continues, questions remain about the long-term impact on the industry and what could've driven such a horrific attack. Sadly, this isn't the first time a female influencer has been targeted in such a way, and many are hoping that this time, justice will be served. It remains to be seen what repercussions, if any, there will be for the industry and how Mexican authorities will address the horrific trend of violence against women.
