An influencer fatally shot her partner and two of her sons in a murder-suicide in Montemorelos, Mexico, authorities said, only hours after she posted a threatening message about showing her “nasty side.”
Cindy Tamez, 33, shot Leodegario Moya, 28, and her sons Christian, 12, and Bruno, 11, inside their home on Wednesday, Sept. 30, prosecutors told El Financiero. She then left with her 2-year-old son, Gustavo, and killed the boy and took her own life in her Jeep, according to Attorney General Javier Flores Saldivar.
A .38 caliber pistol was discovered in the vehicle, he said, and the shell casings found where the woman ended her life matched those tied to the different deceased people found in the home, the attorney general added.
Investigators are examining the influencer’s final posts, including a TikTok shared with followers just hours before the murder-suicide. Tamez posted to her account on Sept. 30, the same day she was reportedly found dead.
“Not everyone knows my nasty side,” she wrote as the caption for a video filmed inside a moving car. “I’d burn down my own house just to watch my neighbour’s go up in flames, even knowing I’d get f**ked over too.”
Other videos centered on her wish to take revenge on people she claimed had harmed her. “I can take it, but I can give it back twice as hard, so don’t think I give a f*ck – I can be twice as much of a c**t as you,” she posted. “I’m probably just as much of a piece of sh*t as you, or even worse, but I never screw someone over unless they’ve screwed me over first,” another social media post said.
Tamez, whose legal name was Cinthia Abigail Tamez Rivera, was reportedly involved in money lending and in buying and selling items such as watches, cars, chains and cell phones. Authorities are investigating whether there is a connection between those dealings and her death.
