Mexican influencer "El Jerry" has become the latest internet personality to be killed in the country, according to a new report.
The influencer was leaving a car wash along with a relative when he was attacked by at least four people, Infobae detailed. The man, Gustavo, was also killed.
The outlet noted that "El Jerry" had over 11,000 followers on TikTok and close to 7,000 on Instagram. He mainly made content related to his daily life and boasted about cars and clothes.
Other incidents of the kind have taken place in the country this year. In August, influencer Camilo Ochoa Delgado, known online as "El Alucín," was killed in Temixco, Morelos.
Authorities confirmed that the 42-year-old, who openly discussed his past ties to the Sinaloa Cartel, was found dead inside a residence in the Lomas de Cuernavaca neighborhood with multiple gunshot wounds.
According to official reports, relatives discovered Ochoa's body in a bathroom. Witnesses told investigators that a hooded man wearing a gray sweatshirt entered the property, shot Ochoa, and then fled in a white Chevrolet Sonic, as reported by Mexican publication Milenio. As of Sunday, no arrests had been reported.
Ochoa gained attention through his YouTube channel "Soy Camilo Ochoa," which had more than 348,000 subscribers. He used the platform to recount his past as a plaza boss for the Sinaloa Cartel in Mazatlán until 2014, as well as his experiences of imprisonment, attempted assassinations, and a 2004 kidnapping by Los Zetas. He often said his purpose was to warn young people against pursuing a criminal lifestyle.
Later that month, María de Jesús "N," the sister of YouTuber "El Conejo Toys" and part of the circle of content creators associated with "Markitos Toys," a well-known Culiacán-based YouTuber with alleged ties to Los Chapitos, one of the factions battling rival group La Mayiza for control of the Sinaloa Cartel, was killed as well.
The attack occurred on Aug. 26 around 3 p.m. near a kindergarten in the town of Villa Adolfo López Mateos, in the municipality of Culiacán. Official reports state the victim was sitting outside an abandoned market when armed men opened fire on her. Forensic investigators with the Sinaloa State Attorney General's Office recovered at least seven shell casings from the scene as part of the investigation.
