In recent hours, the name of María José Estupiñán, a 22-year-old influencer better known by the nickname “La Mona,” began trending in our country. She was brutally murdered in a modus operandi similar to that of Valeria Márquez.

The case of the young Colombian woman who was shot inside her home began to spread through various social media platforms, generating international commotion.

The events occurred in the El Bosque neighborhood of Cúcuta, Colombia, on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, in broad daylight, prompting a strong mobilization of security forces in the community.

According to information revealed by international media, “La Mona” was shot directly, which killed her immediately inside her home.
Preliminary information emerging from Cúcuta, Colombia, indicates that “La Mona,” just 22 years old, had gone outside to receive a supposed gift, but was shot at that very moment.

It is reported that the Colombian influencer had already filed a domestic violence complaint against her ex-partner, with whom she had been in a relationship since she was a minor.

So far, the evidence gathered includes a video showing a man running away from the area where María José Estupiñán was shot. This person is being sought as the prime suspect in the incident.
