Fedra Oded Gaxiola Orozco, a popular 24-year-old TikTok star and model, was tragically killed in a targeted shooting outside a gym in Tijuana, Mexico. The rising influencer was shot multiple times while sitting in her black Mercedes Benz outside the Hardcore Fitness gym in the López Lucio neighborhood.
The attack occurred in broad daylight at approximately 8:35 a.m. Thursday, when the attacker fired several shots through the car window before fleeing the scene. Witnesses immediately contacted emergency services, but despite their quick response, Orozco could not be saved.
Authorities have launched a search for the shooter, and homicide unit prosecutor Miguel Ángel Gaxiola Rodríguez said the investigation indicates that a single suspect specifically targeted Orozco. The gunman fled the scene in a Chevrolet HHR, and police suggest more than one person may have been involved in the crime, reported The sun.
At this time no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing. Orozco, who had a growing following with more than 200,000 followers on Instagram and TikTok, frequently collaborated with sportswear and aesthetic brands, establishing himself as a popular figure in the world of influencers. His untimely death has left his fans and followers devastated.
He had been gaining attention for his fashion content, which focused on fitness and lifestyle before his life was tragically cut short. This shocking incident comes just months after another TikTok influencer, Vielka Pulido, was also murdered in a brutal shooting outside a gym.
Pulido and her boyfriend, Joel Abraham Chávez, were shot in a drive-by attack in the Santa Cruz Buenavista neighborhood of Puebla. CCTV footage captured the chilling moment in which the attacker unleashed a hail of 26 bullets, killing both victims instantly.
Authorities have indicated that Chavez may have been the primary target, and Vielka’s death was described as “collateral.” The investigation into the attack is still ongoing, and the Puebla Attorney General’s Office has prioritized the case and promised to bring those responsible to justice.
