Wave of Femicide: Influencers in Colombia and Mexico Murdered in Chilling Attacks

The recent murders of young female influencers in Colombia and Mexico have sparked outrage and renewed attention to the region's alarming rates of femicide. Maria Jose Estupinan, a 22-year-old Colombian model and university student, was shot dead by a suspect disguised as a deliveryman, just days after a Mexican influencer was killed during a livestream. These high-profile killings have drawn widespread condemnation and highlight the dangers women face in Latin America. Authorities are investigating both cases, while activists call for stronger protections and justice for victims of gender-based violence. The incidents underscore a growing crisis of violence against women in the region.
