A former beauty queen has been found dead in an apartment in Mexico City, in an event that has shocked public opinion and raised strong suspicions of a crime within the family.
Carolina Flores Gómez, 27, the winner of the 2017 Miss Teen Universe Baja California pageant, was found murdered on April 15 in an apartment in the upscale Polanco area. She was reportedly shot in the head, dying at the scene.
Mexican authorities have immediately launched an investigation and the main lead is related to a possible family conflict. According to media sources and the prosecutor's office, suspicions have also been raised against the victim's mother-in-law, as her husband is suspected of accusing his mother of the incident.
At the time of the crime, both the victim's husband and his mother were in the apartment, which has further increased suspicions and the complexity of the case. So far, no one has been arrested and investigations are continuing to fully clarify the circumstances.
