Cindy Tamez posted a final TikTok warning about her “nasty side” just hours before authorities say she killed her partner, two of her sons, and herself in a murder-suicide in Mexico.
Tamez, 33, whose legal name was Cinthia Abigail Tamez Rivera, died Wednesday in Montemorelos after a rampage that left five people dead, including her youngest child, Javier Flores Saldivar, the attorney general, told El Financiero. Her partner Leodegario Moya, 28, and her sons Christian, 12, and Bruno, 11, were found shot to death in the family home. She then fled with 2-year-old Gustavo in her Jeep.
“The shell casings found at the spot where the woman took her own life match those associated with the various deceased individuals found in the home,” Flores Saldivar said. A.38 caliber pistol was recovered from the vehicle where Tamez killed the toddler and then herself.
Investigators are scrutinizing the content Tamez shared with her roughly 70,000 TikTok followers in her final hours. “Not everyone knows my nasty side,” she captioned a video filmed from inside a moving car.
“I’d burn down my own house just to watch my neighbour’s go up in flames, even knowing I’d get f–ked over too.”
Other posts channeled a fixation on retaliation against perceived enemies. “I can take it, but I can give it back twice as hard, so don’t think I give a f*ck – I can be twice as much of a c–t as you,” Tamez wrote.
She continued in another post: “I’m probably just as much of a piece of sh*t as you, or even worse, but I never screw someone over unless they’ve screwed me over first.”
Tamez operated as a money lender and trafficked in high-end resale, dealing in watches, cars, chains and cell phones, according to reports. Prosecutors are probing whether her business activities connect to the killings.
The murder-suicide unfolded across two crime scenes: the family residence where Moya and the older boys died, and the location where Tamez’s Jeep was found with her and Gustavo’s bodies inside. The attorney general confirmed the ballistic evidence tying both locations together.
Tamez’s social media persona had mixed aspirational lifestyle content with increasingly dark personal reflections. Her follower count positioned her as a minor influencer in the Mexican social media landscape, though her posts in the hours before the violence turned those channels into evidence in a criminal investigation.
Authorities have not publicly identified any accomplices or additional suspects. The investigation remains active as officials trace Tamez’s financial dealings and examine whether anyone else may have been targeted.
