A 24-year-old TikTok star and model, Fedra Oded Gaxiola Orozco, was shot and killed in what authorities believe was a targeted attack outside a gym in Tijuana, Mexico.
The incident occurred outside the Hardcore Fitness Gym in the López Lucio neighborhood around 8:35 a.m. on Tuesday. Orozco was sitting in her black Mercedes-Benz when a gunman approached the vehicle and fired multiple shots through the window and car door before fleeing the scene.
Emergency services rushed Orozco to a hospital, but she was pronounced dead upon arrival. Authorities confirmed that witnesses reported the attackers fleeing in a gray Chevrolet HHR.
Miguel Ángel Gaxiola Rodríguez, a prosecutor from the homicide unit, stated that the investigation is focusing on a suspect believed to have acted alone. No arrests have been made, and authorities are continuing their manhunt for the perpetrators.
Fedra Gaxiola, originally from Sinaloa in northwestern Mexico, was a rising social media influencer with over 200,000 followers on Instagram and TikTok. Known for her modeling work, she frequently collaborated with sportswear and aesthetic clothing brands.
This tragic event follows a separate shooting incident in Puebla, Mexico, where another young woman, identified as Vielka “La Bendi,” and her partner were gunned down outside a gym. In that case, authorities suspect the male victim was the intended target.
The investigation into Orozco’s death remains ongoing, with authorities seeking to determine the motive behind the attack and identify those responsible.
