Former Beauty Queen Shot Dead in Polanco; Mother-in-Law Named as Suspect
A former Miss Teen Universe winner was found fatally shot in her upscale Polanco apartment last Wednesday night. The 27-year-old model and influencer suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was declared dead at the scene. Authorities have identified her mother-in-law, Erika Mara, as the prime suspect. She and the victim’s partner were inside the flat when the shooting occurred, but police are still piecing together why the case wasn’t reported until the next day. Investigators have treated the incident as intentional homicide, though gender-based violence campaigners are pushing to classify it as femicide. Local officials have called for a swift and thorough inquiry as forensic teams continue to gather evidence.
