Mexican authorities arrested Jesús Alberto "N" for the alleged shooting of influencer César Daniel Nolazco Gastélum during a live broadcast.
Mexican authorities arrested Jesús Alberto "N" in the state of Puebla after he was identified as a primary suspect in the shooting of influencer César Daniel Nolazco Gastélum. The 25-year-old content creator was allegedly killed by a motorcycle-bound gunman while livestreaming in Culiacán, Sinaloa, on August 4. Security Minister Omar García Harfuch confirmed the arrest occurred during a police operation where officers were attacked by three armed men, resulting in the death of one assailant. During the raid, authorities seized three firearms, ammunition, and several vehicles. Preliminary investigations suggest the killing may be linked to social media posts made by César Daniel Nolazco Gastélum that alluded to a faction of a criminal group. The incident highlights the growing trend of violence against social media influencers in Mexico, where content creators are often targeted by criminal gangs for their public statements or social media presence.
