TikTok Star Has Died Aged 27

A TikTok influencer has been murdered in front of her four-year-old son in a brutal attack.

Influencer Yarely Ashley Hermosillo, 27, was the victim of a brutal murder while in the car with her young son on August 15.

The U.S. mom had gained a following of 300,000 online due to her cooking content, as well as offering parental advice.

Now, her family have spoken out in a heartbreaking tribute.

In a statement, they wrote: “Yarely was a loving wife, a devoted mother, and a beautiful soul whose light touched everyone who knew her.

“She leaves behind her husband and their four-year-old son, who now face an unimaginable loss.”

It continued: “Yarely’s greatest joy in life was being a mother, and she poured her heart into caring for her little boy.

“She was an innocent victim, leaving her family and friends devastated.”

Yarley had been in shot in the head by a bullet which had been fired from a handgun.

Despite being rushed to a hospital in Arizona, she sadly died shortly after her arrival.

The TikTok sensation had been sitting in the passenger seat of a car when it was brought to a stop at a red light.

It was here where a road rage incident occurred, while Yarely’s mum and her four-year-old son had been sitting in the back seat when she was gunned down.

According to local police, one of the drivers involved, 33-year-old Jesus Preciado Dousten, had been waiting in the centre lane when the driver he was arguing with was stopped in the right lane.

It’s been alleged that Dousten was the person to have pulled out the weapon, and pointed it at his own driver’s window, before firing the shot.

That bullet went through the passenger window of the car, before striking Yarely in the head.

Speaking with AZ Family, Glendale Police Sergeant Brian Hoskins said: “My question still is, why would you just randomly shoot the other way?

“He obviously didn’t know the other car was there.”

Her family has since launched a GoFundMe page to cover her funeral costs.

The fundraiser reads: “At just 27-years-old, Yarely’s life was taken far too soon in a senseless act of violence.

“She was an innocent victim caught in the middle of a road rage incident between others, leaving her family and friends devastated.”

They added: “As our family grieves this heartbreaking tragedy, we are asking for support to help ease the financial burden her husband now faces – covering funeral expenses, as well as providing for their young son during this difficult time.

“No amount can ever replace Yarely’s presence, but your kindness and generosity will help bring comfort and stability to her family as they navigate life without her.”
