墨西哥当局周三表示，该国已逮捕一名男子，该男子涉嫌在一场直播直播过程中开枪杀害一名网红。
8月4日，塞萨尔·加斯特卢姆在锡那罗亚州首府库利亚坎进行直播时遇袭。该州一直是贩毒团伙火并的战场。
拥有超过50万TikTok粉丝的加斯特卢姆当时装扮成外卖员，正和两名朋友参与一项社交媒体挑战，此时一辆摩托车停在他身旁。路透社记者查看了直播录像，画面显示摩托车司机似乎直接朝加斯特卢姆开了枪。
墨西哥安全部长奥马尔·加西亚·哈富奇表示，涉案嫌疑人在墨西哥中部的普埃布拉州落网。
哈富奇在X平台上发帖称，警方在抓捕行动中遭到三名武装人员袭击，并击毙了其中一人。
哈富奇说，当局逮捕了杀害加斯特卢姆的嫌疑人以及另一名涉案人员。警方在现场查获了三支枪械、弹药和车辆。

初步调查显示，这名网红遇害与其社交媒体帖子“提及某犯罪团伙分支”有关，墨西哥安全秘书处表示。
锡那罗亚贩毒集团两大主要分支及相关武装团伙之间的全面战争已导致这个西北部州数千人死亡或失踪，尽管总统克劳迪娅·辛鲍姆一直在努力遏制犯罪暴力。
该贩毒集团由华金·“矮子”·古兹曼创立，他目前被关押在美国。
墨西哥网红屡遭 targeting
库利亚坎是颂扬毒贩生活的“毒枭文化”中心地带，墨西哥媒体报道称，社交媒体网红往往与对立犯罪帮派存在关联，由此引发恐吓或报复行为。当地媒体报道称，近年来锡那罗亚州已有约十几名网红遭杀害。
去年，墨西哥网红巴莱里亚亚·马尔克斯在一家美容院进行TikTok直播时遭枪击身亡，她拥有数万粉丝。检察官表示，凶手似乎是一名职业杀手，马尔克斯在遇害前曾表达过恐惧。

据路透社报道，今年7月，当局宣布在哈利斯科州逮捕拉蒙·安赫尔·阿尔瓦雷斯·阿亚拉，官员称其与马尔克斯遇害案以及2025年11月乌鲁阿潘市市长卡洛斯·曼佐谋杀案有关。
马尔克斯遇害案震惊了墨西哥——这个日常充斥着杀戮和绑架的国家——并让该国的女性谋杀 epidemic 以及针对网红的日益严重的暴力问题再次引发高度关注。
2025年1月，据报道有一架小型飞机在库利亚坎上空投放传单，威胁约20名艺术家和YouTuber，称他们涉嫌与锡那罗亚贩毒集团的对立分支勾结。
网红在拉丁美洲其他地区也成为 target。去年在委内瑞拉，警方逮捕了一名涉嫌杀害TikTok网红的同伙，该网红在直播中谴责阿拉瓜火车犯罪团伙成员及涉嫌腐败的警察后遭杀害。

Suspect arrested for allegedly killing influencer on livestream in Mexico
August 27, 2026 / 6:22 AM EDT / CBS/AFP
Mexico has arrested a man who allegedly shot and killed an influencer during a live broadcast, authorities said on Wednesday.
Cesar Gastelum was attacked on August 4 while livestreaming in Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa state, which has been a battleground for warring drug factions.
Gastelum, who had more than 500,000 TikTok followers, was dressed as a food delivery worker and taking part in a social media challenge along with two friends when a motorcycle stopped next to him. In the recording of the livestream, seen by the Reuters news agency, the driver of the motorcycle appeared to fire a gun directly at Gastelum.
Security Minister Omar Garcia Harfuch said the alleged killer was located in the state of Puebla, in central Mexico.
During the arrest operation, police officers came under attack by three armed individuals and killed one of them, Harfuch wrote on X.
Authorities arrested the suspected killer of Gastelum and another person. Three firearms, ammunition and vehicles were seized at the scene, Harfuch said.

Preliminary investigation showed that the influencer’s killing was related to his social media posts “alluding to a faction of a criminal group,” Mexico’s security secretariat said.
A sprawling war between the two main factions of the Sinaloa Cartel and associated armed groups has left thousands dead or missing in the northwestern state, even as President Claudia Sheinbaum seeks to contain criminal violence.
The cartel was founded by Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, who is now imprisoned in the United States.
Influencers targeted in Mexico
Culiacan is ground zero for “narco-culture” celebrating the life of drug traffickers, and Mexican media report that social media influencers are often tied to disputing criminal gangs, leading to acts of intimidation or score-settling. Around a dozen influencers have been killed in recent years in Sinaloa, local media have reported.
Last year, Mexican social media influencer Valeria Marquez was shot dead at a beauty salon during a livestream on TikTok, where she had tens of thousands of followers. Prosecutors said she appeared to be murdered by a hit man and expressed fear before being killed.

In July, authorities announced the arrest in Jalisco of Ramon Angel Alvarez Ayala, whom officials linked to the killing of Marquez as well as the November 2025 murder of Uruapan Mayor Carlos Manzo, Reuters reported.
Marquez’s murder shocked Mexico — where killings and kidnappings are a daily occurrence — and brought into sharp focus both its femicide epidemic and growing violence against influencers.
In January 2025, a small plane was reported to have dropped pamphlets in Culiacan threatening around 20 artists and YouTubers for alleged dealings with a warring faction of the Sinaloa drug cartel.
Influencers have been targeted in other parts of Latin America. Last year in Venezuela, police arrested an alleged accomplice in the murder of a TikTok influencer who was killed during a livestream after denouncing members of the Tren de Aragua criminal gang and allegedly corrupt police officers.
