Influencer's Viral TikTok Alleges Attempted Daytime Shooting in Mexico City

Ricardo Salinas Pliego's repost drew broad attention to the account, which lacks independent verification.

Overview

  • Identified as Bastián Delfín by Milenio and El Informador, the influencer says the episode occurred a few weeks ago around 5 p.m. while he rode in a ride‑hailing car.
  • He recounts seeing a person running as a man followed with a gun trying to shoot, leading him to take cover on the vehicle floor.
  • He adds that the driver later told him the runner was not struck by gunfire.
  • The video circulated widely, and Salinas Pliego shared it on X with a message criticizing authorities.
  • Reports provide no precise date or location, and one outlet refers to the influencer as Arturo Villegas, highlighting inconsistent identification.
