Moments before gunmen opened fire outside a fast-food restaurant in Culiacán, the 25-year-old appeared to notice something was wrong and voiced his fears on camera.

Cesar Gastelum's final words before being shot dead
Gastelum was in the middle of one of his fun livestreams with two of his buddies outside a KFC in Culiacán’s Tres Ríos district when the attack occurred around 8:00 PM. Each of the three wore an orange Rappi delivery backpack and a neon orange jacket. Two guys wearing full-face motorcycle helmets could be seen pulling up next to the group while the influencer talked to viewers on Kick near the drive-thru.
Clips from the livestream circulating online show that Gastelum's mood shift almost quickly as he saw the suspects coming toward him. Looking toward his companions, he said in Spanish, "Inguiasú. No, no, esos chavalos me dan miedo," which roughly translates to, "Oh man. "No, no, those guys scare me." Those were the last things the influencer spoke before the attack.
As soon as Gastelum voiced his concern, one of the motorbike riders is said to have pulled out a gun and fired at close range. Panic erupted aruond the scene as Gastelum collapsed immediately near the drive-thru lane while his two companions fled the area unharmed. Because his phone kept recording after he hit the ground, the livestream allegedly caught the sounds of the chaos right after the accident before it turned off.
The attackers are said to have driven off down the Enrique Sánchez Alonso Boulevard. Soon after the event, the Sinaloa State Prosecutor's Office, the Mexican Army, and state police locked down the area and began a probe. It wasn't until much later that the deceased was identified as Cesar. As of now, no one has been arrested, and detectives have not said what the attack was meant to accomplish.

Who was Cesar Gastelum?
Cesar Gastelum was a pretty popular face on Mexican social media, building a dedicated online following with his comedy sketches, lifestyle content, musical covers, and interactive livestreams. He used to regularly stream on his YouTube and Kick handles that generated millions of views.
What makes his death even more shocking is that, unlike many artists who work with commentary or current events, Gastelum mainly made funny shows that resonated with younger audiences. Known for his cheerful personality and regular interaction with followers, Gastelum had become one of the most recognizable influencers from Sinaloa's digital community.
Cesar built up almost 600,000 followers on TikTok, over 100,000 on Instagram and thousands more on YouTube and Kick. His content has garnered over 22 million likes on TikTok alone, with recurring comedic characters like ‘Profe Alducin’ and ‘El Padre’ finding a fanbase. Meanwhile, Gastelum's profile on the streaming platform Kick, where he broadcast under the username @Compasexor, is no longer accessible following the fatal shooting.
Both local police and state security forces reported that neither of the two collaborators was hurt in the shooting, even though they were right next to Gastelum when the gunmen opened fire. Since then, Cesar Gastelum's social media accounts are full of tributes from heartbroken fans.
The investigation is underway, and no suspect has yet been identified.
