Drug Lord 'Double R'. Who Killed a Famous Beauty Blogger Live on Air

[REGNUM] For several days now, the Spanish-speaking segment of the Internet has been actively sharing an ominous video in which a curly, golden-haired beauty in a pink bodysuit is rapidly sent to the next world.

Viewers of the uncensored versions understand that the girl was shot, and on the table - right in the area of ​​the dying woman's cleavage - a pool of blood can be seen.
Titillating. Might have been the aortic arch.
The deceased turned out to be a well-known Mexican beauty blogger Valeria Marquez from the municipality of Zapopan in the state of Jalisco. The girl often appeared on social networks, demonstrating her luxurious lifestyle.

Here you have posing on board private jets, bouquets of hundreds of roses taken from all angles, and gatherings with girlfriends in expensive restaurants.

Evil tongues said that Valeria owed all this not to her blogging success, but to very specific boyfriends involved in the criminal world of Mexico.

At the moment, local investigators have not been able to establish the cause of the murder, but one thing is clear: it is unlikely that drug cartels were involved.

DANGEROUS "FRIENDS"
Valeria arrived at the beauty salon in Zapopan where she worked and planned to stream for her subscribers. At the same time, she was expecting a gift from an unknown admirer, so when the courier entered the room, she was not at all scared.

The man fired several accurate shots and quickly fled the scene, most likely on a motorcycle, as killers in this region do.

Social media immediately suggested that the girl had been “ordered” by her ex-boyfriend Jesus Hernandez, a millionaire and one of the influential members of the Honduran mafia, who is wanted.

There was evidence that Hernandez threatened Marquez and she even told someone somewhere about it. The girl did not take any real measures for her own safety.

A little later in the story, another character emerged - a member of the Jalisco New Generation cartel nicknamed "Double R" (RR, Double R - he has many names like that).

In the world, Double R turned out to be Ricardo Ruiz Velasco , who first came to the attention of law enforcement after successfully organizing riots in the states of Guanajuato and Jalisco in August 2022.

Then Ricardo Ruiz not only paralyzed traffic in several cities by precisely marking the locations for car blockades, but also showed himself to be a talented media manager.

He organized the mass distribution of videos filmed on the streets of cities in chaos, showing cartel fighters threatening rivals and police and promoting the invincibility of the Jalisco New Generation.

It is unknown how Double R and the beauty blogger met, but there were quite a few people who claimed that there was some kind of relationship between the two and that Ricardo was very jealous.

Allegedly, because Valeria easily accepted gifts from other members of the Jalisco New Generation cartel, as well as from fans of this organized crime group.

A less frivolous person would have every reason to fear Ricardo's jealousy. It turns out that several years ago he was a suspect in the unsolved murder of Venezuelan model Daisy Ferrer Arenas .

The girl was dating one of the regional leaders of the Jalisco New Generation cartel, did something wrong and was kidnapped from the bar where she worked at the time.

Daisy was held captive for several days and then executed with a shot to the head. Her body was dumped in a gutter. One of the four killers involved in this black deed, according to separate accounts, was Double R.

Valeria allegedly knew very well what Ricardo was capable of, was very afraid of him, but even in this version of events she did not take any real precautions.

There were people who suggested that Double R and the former Valery from Honduras were acting together - they say, the Jalisco New Generation cartel is cooperating with the organized crime group of this small Central American country, so there is no contradiction here.

IT'S ABOUT JEALOUSY
The story of Valeria Marquez's murder could not do without the famous "cherchez la femme".

Social media users found recent videos and photos where Valeria danced and hugged with her equally beautiful friend and wrote that they had finally made peace, although they had recently been “fighting to the death.” The reason for the conflict remained unknown to the public.

Other details also emerged: it turned out that this very friend had advised Valeria to stay in the beauty salon and stream. Right during the broadcast, she had been sending her messages asking her to stay longer, and the day before, she had allegedly said goodbye to her with the words, “Next time I won’t see you in person.”

There has been no official confirmation of this version from the authorities of the state of Jalisco and the municipality of Zapopan. However, everyone agrees on one thing - the main motive of the customer was clearly jealousy.

SPOILED THE STATISTICS
Valeria Marquez's murder is currently being investigated under the so-called femicide protocol, when it comes to killing a woman for hateful reasons. The problem is so widespread in Central and South American countries that a separate term was even coined to describe it.

Girls often become both accidental victims of mafia clashes and incur the wrath of drug cartels who are not accustomed to ceremony and are alien to chivalrous morals.

Apparently, something exactly like this happened to Valeria, who got involved with representatives of the criminal world.

As experienced matrons note, many young Mexican women want to date drug lords and devote their time to improving their appearance, and not at all to education or building a career.

The calculation is simple: such a lover, husband or (best of all) father of the child will provide physical protection and financial support. Girls prefer not to think about the fact that at some point they will have to pay for their relationship with a criminal - maybe it will pass.

Valeria Marquez was not spared. The mayor of Zapopan confirmed that the girl had indeed received threats and that the murder was clearly a contract killing.

True, the official made a reservation that such a case was only an isolated episode, and in general they are successfully solving the problem of violent crimes in the state of Jalisco. If, they say, what happened to Valeria had not happened, then the crime statistics would have been quite acceptable.

While the authorities are frantically simulating a vigorous investigation into the murder, information has already leaked into the media that the sinister Double R is not even on the list of suspects.

It is possible that his name will eventually disappear from the case file, as once happened in the case of Daisy Ferrer.
