Cinthia Abigail Tamez Rivera Kills Four Family Members Before Dying in Montemorelos
A 33-year-old social media influencer and private lender shot and killed her 28-year-old partner and three children in Montemorelos, Mexico, on Wednesday before dying by suicide in her vehicle, New York Post reported. Chief Prosecutor Javier Flores Saldivar stated that Cinthia Abigail Tamez Rivera shot Leodegario Moya and two of her sons, 12-year-old Cristian and 11-year-old Bruno, inside the family home. Rivera then drove away with her youngest son, 2-year-old Gustavo, in a Jeep, where authorities later found the child dead alongside the influencer.
Weapons and Vehicle Evidence Recovered by Investigators in Nuevo León
Investigators recovered a .38-caliber pistol inside the Jeep following the incident. According to the prosecutor’s office, shell casings recovered from the vehicle where Rivera died matched the ammunition used in the family home homicides. Alongside her social media activity, Rivera operated as a private lender and traded items including watches, cars, jewelry, and mobile phones. Authorities are currently reviewing these financial dealings to determine if they contributed to the tragedy, while no final motive has been released.
Sinister Social Media Warnings Posted Hours Before the Killings
Hours before the killings, Rivera published a video to her roughly 70,000 followers on TikTok filmed from inside a moving vehicle. “Not everyone knows my bad side,” she stated in the recording. She added a darker message declaring she would burn down her own house just to watch her neighbor’s burn, even knowing she would suffer damage too. Additional videos featured threats of revenge directed at individuals she claimed had wronged her, warning that she could return hostility twofold.
