According to the report by the news outlet, Sabrina Duran Montero found herself in the Padre Hurtado region, at the intersection of Alberty Blest Ganna and Primera Transversal, when she was attacked. She was reportedly en route to a nail salon.

The Narco Queen Influencer

The TikTok star and social media influencer was also a convicted drug trafficker in Chile. Her run-in with the law occurred in March 2022 when she, along with her brothers, was arrested for their involvement in a drug ring. 

Although she attempted to escape, law enforcement managed to apprehend her. Consequently, she faced legal consequences, receiving a prison sentence for her involvement in the collection, distribution, and sale of illicit substances. 

She was released from prison a month ago. And was set to serve the remaining three years of her sentence on assisted probation, a future that was abruptly cut short by her death.

Her moniker, 'Ina, the Narco Queen,' was a derivation of 'narcoreina,' a fusion of narcotics and Sabrina. Remarkably, her social media persona sharply contrasted with her real-life activities.

As a single mother of one, she had amassed a substantial following of over 444,000 on TikTok. Her content primarily revolved around makeup tutorials, dance videos, snippets of music, unboxing luxury brand items, and more. Many of her videos got millions of views.

 An influencer since 2021, she posted content in both English and Spanish.

According to UK-based HITC reports, Sabrina Duran Montero's final post on TikTok was just a day before her tragic demise. In the video, she appeared in jeans and a black top while showcasing new beauty products. She has over 86,000 followers on Instagram.

Police investigating

With news of her murder all of her existing social media accounts have been set to private. And are being reviewed by local authorities.

Meanwhile, the police say they are investigating the possible connection between her murder and her gang activity, due to her recent drug trafficking conviction.

Police are also said to be investigating a potential rivalry with another women-led gang operating in the same region.

Questions also remain about the photos of the shooting that are being circulated online.
