Mexican influencer Fedra Gaxiola, 24, was shot dead Wednesday morning as she left a gym she used to work out at in Tijuana.

The health and personal care content creator was inside her Mercedes Benz 2024 outside the Hardcore gym, located in the López Lucio neighborhood, in the La Mesa area, when an unknown person approached her and shot her several times and fled in a gray Chrysler PT Cruiser.

An ambulance arrived at the crime scene to transport the victim to the Red Cross, who was declared dead at the hospital.

The police officer's car, worth more than two million pesos, remained at the scene riddled with bullet holes.

Homicide prosecutor Miguel Ángel Gaxiola Rodríguez, indicated that the investigation points to a suspect who acted alone and directly attacked the woman, but so far there has been no arrest.

The authorities indicate that they are already in contact with the victim's family and are finding out the identity of the murderer and the reasons why the crime occurred.

Before the murder, Gaxiola had published stories on her Instagram account, where she had more than 220,000 followers.

In August of this year, the influencer had reported abuse by her ex-partner, Héctor Manuel Villegas, former director of the municipal police.

The investigation is ongoing.
