塞萨尔·加斯特卢姆（Cesar Gastelum），一名在TikTok平台拥有近50至60万粉丝的墨西哥喜剧网红，于8月5日周二晚间在库里亚坎一家快餐店外进行直播时被枪杀[1][2]。据报道，加斯特卢姆当时正在与两名朋友进行挑战直播，遭到一辆摩托车上的骑手近距离射击，射手针对其头部开枪[1][2]。
这起案件发生在锡那罗亚州暴力犯罪频繁的背景下[2]。调查显示死者照片与2024年12月被枪杀的另一名影响者莱奥巴尔多·艾斯普罗有关联，该案件可能与西那罗亚贩毒集团两个对立派系的冲突有关[1]。此外，这已是墨西哥近期又一起社交媒体影响者被害的案件——2025年5月，23岁的美妆网红瓦莱里亚·马尔克斯曾在直播时被枪杀[1][2]。目前警方正在调查此案，尚未逮捕任何嫌疑人[1]。
Mexican TikTok content creator César Gastélum was fatally shot on Tuesday evening while livestreaming from outside a fast food restaurant in Culiacán.[1][2] The influencer, who had amassed approximately 500,000 to 600,000 followers and was known for comedy videos, was struck in the head by a gunman on a motorcycle.[1][2] According to reports, a motorcyclist approached during the broadcast and opened fire at close range, with the shooting occurring in the Tres Ríos area of the city.[1][2]
The incident represents another deadly attack on a social media personality in Mexico, where influencers have become targets amid ongoing criminal violence. In May 2025, beauty influencer Valeria Márquez, 23, was killed during a livestream in Jalisco state.[2] Authorities have not yet apprehended suspects in Gastélum's case, though investigators are examining potential connections to criminal organization activity in the Sinaloa region.[1][2]
