Celebrity Stylist ‘Micky’ de la Mora Shot Dead in Targeted Attack Outside Polanco Salon

Prosecutors are re-examining prior threats reported in 2024 as pressure builds for answers.

Overview

  • Mexico City police say two assailants on a motorcycle intercepted Miguel Ángel de la Mora, 28, and one shooter fired multiple times before both fled on the bike.
  • Authorities classify the killing as a direct attack rather than a robbery, and the Miguel Hidalgo mayor rejected speculation of an extortion-related ‘cobro de piso’.
  • The FGJCDMX opened a homicide case and, with the SSC, is reviewing nearby surveillance footage and forensic evidence, with no arrests announced so far.
  • Investigators are revisiting a 2024 complaint in which De la Mora reported threats and identified a man known as Eduardo “E” as a potential aggressor.
  • De la Mora, owner of Micky Hair with locations in Polanco and Zapopan, served high-profile clients, prompting public tributes from figures including Ángela Aguilar and Priscila Escoto.
