Summary
Thousands watched on Kick as César Gastélum, 24, was shot in the head at point-blank range while filming outside a KFC in Culiacán on August 4.
Two hitmen on a white, red and black Honda motorbike struck after apparently circling the car park minutes earlier; Gastélum was declared without vital signs when paramedics arrived.
Sinaloa prosecutors opened a murder investigation, while police and army units sealed off the scene near the state attorney general's office; no arrests or motive have been announced.
Gastélum, known online as Compasexor, had about 600,000 TikTok followers, and his killing comes amid violent turf wars in Culiacán and after last year's livestream murder of influencer Valeria Márquez in Jalisco.
