Influencer ‘El Jerry’ Is Killed in Culiacán Ambush as Investigation Begins

Officials are examining possible cartel ties within a feud-driven pattern targeting local content creators.

Overview

  • Gerardo Moya, 25, known as “El Jerry,” and his companion Gustavo “N” were shot dead on November 16 in the Tres Ríos district near the Sinaloa state prosecutor’s offices.
  • Preliminary reports say the pair left a car wash in a gray 2025 GMC Sierra when at least four gunmen in a Jetta intercepted them on boulevard Enrique Sánchez Alonso near José Ortiz de Domínguez.
  • Witnesses reported bursts of rifle fire that sent shoppers ducking for cover, while military and police secured the scene and forensic teams collected dozens of shell casings before transferring the bodies to the morgue.
  • Minutes before the attack, Instagram stories showed the two drinking beer in the same vehicle as corridos associated with organized crime played.
  • His TikTok and Instagram accounts were disabled after the killing as alternate profiles circulated showing weapons and “MF” patches tied online to La Mayiza, though authorities have not confirmed any affiliation or a possible family link between the victims.
