Mexican social media influencer shot to death in middle of livestream

Cesar Gastelum, who had more than 600,000 followers on TikTok, was broadcasting with two friends — all dressed as food delivery workers as part of a challenge.

Gastélum was filming with two friends outside a fast food restaurant in Tres Ríos, in the northern city of Culiacán, on Tuesday evening when when two men on a motorbike drove up to him and one shot him at close range.

The 30-year-old content creator, who had nearly 600,000 followers on TikTok, was known for posting comedy videos.

The three were dressed in the bright orange jackets and backpacks of food delivery drivers.
