The sad event took place last Thursday in her apartment in one of Mexico City’s wealthiest neighbourhoods, Mexican outlet Reporte Indigo reported.

Authorities believe Gomez, the Miss Teen Universe for northern Mexico’s Baja California state in 2017, was killed a day before they were informed of the tragedy

This has raised suspicion as to why her husband, Alejandro Gomez, took so such a long time to report to the police.

Reports reveal that some forensic teams have since combed the apartment for evidence.

Campaigners are demanding that the death be treated as femicide, with the case sparking heated reactions over violence against women in Mexico.

According to recent statistics, approximately 10 women a day are murdered in Mexico, with only 1% resulting in sentencing.

In the video circulating online, the 27-year-old new mum, was seen at home when the tragic shooting took place on April 15, 2026

Gomez was seen wearing a white-patterned robe as she walked in and out of the living room, where a playpen, a stroller and children’s toys were set up.

A split second later, a shot rings out in the background, followed by a scream and several more shots.

The victim’s husband, Alejandro Gomez, then walked into the frame holding the couple’s baby.

“What was that?” he asks in Spanish.
“What did you do, crazy?” an unidentified woman’s voice is heard saying.
“Nothing,” Herrera answered. “She made me angry.”
“What’s wrong with you? She’s my family,” the son responds.
“You’re mine, and she stole you,” his mother said.

The Mexico City police have opened an investigation into the shooting, as they have yet to announce charges.

They did identify Herrera as the prime suspect and raised questions about why Gomez and his mother did not report the fatal shooting until the following day.
