Mom Influencer Kills Partner and Three Children Before Taking Her Own Life Hours After Ominous Final Post
A 33-year-old mother and aspiring social media influencer killed her partner and three children before taking her own life in Mexico, authorities said, with investigators now examining a series of troubling posts she shared only hours before the deaths.
Cindy Tamez, whose real name was Cinthia Abigail Tamez Rivera, fatally shot her partner, Leodegario Moya, 28, and two of her sons, Christian, 12, and Bruno, 11, inside their home in Montemorelos on Wednesday, according to prosecutors.
Authorities said Tamez then left the property with her youngest son, 2-year-old Gustavo, in her Jeep. Attorney General Javier Flores Saldivar said she later killed the child before taking her own life inside the vehicle.
Investigators Link Weapon Evidence to Both Scenes
A .38-caliber handgun was recovered from the Jeep.
According to the attorney general, shell casings recovered from the location where Tamez died were consistent with those connected to the victims discovered inside the family home.
Investigators are now working to establish what led to the killings.
Final Posts Draw Investigators’ Attention

Part of that investigation is focused on Tamez’s online activity in the hours before the deaths.
Tamez had built an audience of approximately 70,000 followers. In one of her final posts, uploaded from inside a moving vehicle, she warned that not everyone knew her “nasty side.”
She also posted a dark statement suggesting she would be willing to harm herself if doing so also hurt someone else.
Other recent posts centered on retaliation against people she believed had wronged her, with Tamez portraying herself as someone prepared to respond even more aggressively when she felt betrayed.
The timing of those messages — appearing shortly before the family was found dead — has now made them part of investigators’ examination of the case.
Authorities Investigating Possible Financial Connection
Tamez was reportedly involved in lending money and buying and selling valuables, including watches, vehicles, jewelry and cell phones.
Authorities are investigating whether those activities had any connection to the deaths, though no such link has yet been established.
A motive has not been publicly confirmed.
The investigation therefore remains focused not only on reconstructing what happened between the family home and the Jeep, but also on determining whether Tamez’s final online posts offered any indication of what was about to unfold.
