Viral audio recordings have surfaced in connection with the femicide of Mexican influencer Valeria Márquez, who was killed on May 13, 2025, in Zapopan, Jalisco. The recordings, which gained traction on social media on August 3, 2026, reportedly feature her ex-boyfriend, Francisco ‘N’, who authorities have identified as the alleged instigator of the attack.

Fragments of the audio depict Francisco ‘N’ questioning Márquez's appearance and choices during a live stream. Márquez is heard responding defensively, rejecting accusations about her clothing. In one exchange, she warns she will block him after a tense conversation, stating, “It’s like you want to fight.” Other recovered recordings allegedly expose instances of psychological abuse, with Márquez detailing derogatory comments made towards her. The identity of the aggressor in these specific recordings has not been officially confirmed.

Infobae reports that Márquez had previously posted a public message holding an unnamed individual responsible for any aggression against her or her family, expressing fear of reprisals and the possibility of leaving the city. The investigation into her case is examining prior warnings and the trajectory of the case. Further details emerge from other clips showing Márquez displaying a giant teddy bear with the surname Álvarez. She stated the vehicle shown belonged to her partner to avoid complications, but journalistic sources suggest the gift belonged to the son of criminal leader Ramón Ángel ‘N’, alias ‘El R1’. This audiovisual material is under analysis to document the background of the relationship.

It’s like you want to fight.
