Video shows Mexican model partying shortly before gunmen executed her in front of her family

Video has emerged showing a Mexican model and aspiring television presenter in happier times, shortly before her brutal murder on Friday.

Karla Karina Garza Garcia, 23, was killed on Friday with a single gunshot to the head in front of her family in the lawless north-eastern state of Nueva Leon in Mexico.

The mother of two’s murder is believed to be linked to the savage drug cartels that rule the area.

Gunmen stormed a building in Apodaca, near Monterrey, in the early hours of Friday morning, demanding to know “who is Karina” as they searched the house for the victim.

Officials say the murder was not random, rather a targeted assassination.

The gunmen wore dark clothing and disguised their faces in the attack.

According to Breitbart, Garza Garcia was located and executed as her family watched. Pleas for her life were ignored.

Some reports indicate Garza Garcia died in her sister's arms when the bullet failed to kill her instantly.

Police were called following reports of gunshots but the killers had escaped by the time they arrived.

Video has now emerged showing Garza Garcia enjoying life. It is believed to have been filmed not long before the fatal attack.

Garza Garcia worked as a model and part time assistant at a Mexican television station.

The reason for her death is unknown but it was not her first experience of the brutality of Mexico’s drug cartels.

Her boyfriend Hilario Carvajal Lucas was recently murdered in another crime believed to be linked to organised crime.

Investigators are not ruling out a link between Garza Garcia’s death and that of her partner.
