State prosecutors confirmed: "The death is regrettable. There was a line of investigation where it was mentioned that there was a possible participation. They did not tell us what kind of participation as such. It did lead us to gather information, but it is nothing that can in any way legally link her."

Her own street execution took place when a lone gunman approached her as she left her gym following a workout.

Prosecutors told local media: "We see that it is a single male person who was waiting for her, so, it is definitely a direct attack on her. We can count around 10 shell casings that were on the scene. No one is currently detained, they are being followed up on."

Gaxiola is said to have been pregnant when she was gunned down.

One message on social media claimed: "I saw you on Saturday, we ate pizza and had coffee. Last night we talked and your last message was a sticker of corn with a heart. I love you, Fedra, and like many people, I will miss you. The person who took your life will one day have to answer to God, not only for the life he took from you, but also for the baby you had in your womb."
