Fedra Gaxiola was shot on Thursday morning. After leaving the gym in Tijuana, Mexico, she headed to her car, where an unidentified man appeared and fired several shots at her through the window and door of the Mercedes. Although she was rushed to the hospital, unfortunately, she could not be saved.
Witnesses at the scene reported that the perpetrator fled in a gray Chevrolet. Authorities revealed to the media that the man likely acted alone and deliberately targeted the influencer. As of now, no arrests have been made, and the search is ongoing.
Fedra Oded Gaxiola Orozco was a 24-year-old TikTok user and model from Sinaloa, Mexico. Online, she was known as a typical "fitness girl" who primarily collaborated with sports apparel brands. She has amassed 200,000 followers on TikTok and Instagram.
This is not the only case of influencer murders near Mexican gyms this year. Under similar circumstances in April, Vielka Pulido and her partner were killed. They were also shot in a car after a workout. The woman was reportedly just a random victim, while her boyfriend was the intended target. Both died at the scene after a barrage of 26 shots.
