Who was Sabrina Duran Montero? Influencer dubbed as 'Narco Queen' shot dead in a shocking broad-daylight attack

Sabrina Duran Montero, who was reportedly on parole at the time of the attack, suffered at least eight gunshot wounds

SANTIAGO, CHILE: TikTok star Sabrina Duran Montero has reportedly been killed in a shocking broad-daylight attack in Santiago.

The 24-year-old Chilean social media influencer and convicted drug trafficker died of gunshot injuries after allegedly being targeted by masked gunmen while sitting in her car in a suburb of Santiago on Tuesday, October 24.

According to reports of The Sun, the now-dead TikTok personality is survived by her only child. 

What did the police say following Sabrina Duran Montero's death?

Sabrina “had a criminal record, specifically for receiving stolen vehicles and drug trafficking, and had been released from serving a sentence approximately a month ago," Police chief Leonel Munoz said after the attack on Tuesday, October 24.

Sabrina reportedly began a relationship behind bars with her cellmate in San Miguel prison, Antonella Marchant, 29.

Antonella was sentenced to 15 years in prison after her 2021 arrest and is part of the infamous Los Marchant gang. 

Antonella Marchant's father is also serving time in prison

The Chilean press has reported that the Los Marchant gang dates back to 2012 when Antonella, daughter of leader Francisco Marchant, was arrested on drug trafficking charges, having been found transporting marijuana from Argentina with a view of selling it in Santiago. 

Los Marchant narco founder Francisco is presently in prison, just like his daughter Antonella. 

Sabrina Duran Montero was also known as 'Narco Queen'

Sabrina was a TikTok 'Narco influencer', with 572,400 followers, and over 13 million likes at the time of her death.

She began posting on TikTok in May 2021. Sabrina posted under the names Katrina Gusman and Juakina Gusman, with the latter seemingly a reference to notorious Mexican cartel leader Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.

Another name used by the TikTok star was "La Ina" and she has also been dubbed "The TikTok Narco Queen", referring to her drug role in Chilean drug gangs.

At the start of this year, Sabrina, along with her two brothers, was arrested on suspicion of supplying, distributing and trafficking cannabis, cocaine, MDMA, and magic mushrooms.

Sabrina documented her time behind bars on TikTok, sharing dances, and videos of herself speaking to the camera. 

At least two hitmen shot Sabrina Duran Montero

Sabrina was reportedly shot dead in Padre Hurtado, a suburb of Santiago in Chile, by at least two hitmen while she was in her car.

In the chilling footage recorded by a witness, Sabrina can be seen lying in the middle of the street after being shot by an attacker wearing a mask. 

The spine-chilling video then shows Sabrina attempting to get up, already wounded, when a gunman approaches her and fires multiple shots at her. The criminals then used Sabrina’s car to flee the scene which was later found destroyed.

Sabrina reportedly suffered at least eight gunshot wounds and hospital doctors were unable to save her life. She was reportedly on parole at the time of the chilling attack.

According to the authorities, they believe her killing may have been a move by a rival drug gang to settle the scores.

The masked gunmen are still at large and the investigation into Sabrina's murder continues.
