A social media influencer who was shot and killed inside her home last week shared a series of eerie online posts hours before her death.
Yanca Lorrane Jesus Maia, better known online as Yanca Lorranne or Yanca Maia, was inside the property last Friday (local time) when police say three men entered in the early hours, with intentions to kill her.
Local police believe the trio were hitmen who targeted the 27-year-old at her home in Salvador, Brazil. Neighbours called the police after hearing gunshots coming from the property, but when they arrived, she was already dead.
Hours before her untimely passing, Yanca shared a series of mysterious posts on Instagram where she had 70,000 followers at the time of her death.
