Mexican Beauty Queen Found Shot Dead in Luxury Apartment

Her husband and his mother were in the residence when she died.

Former Mexican beauty queen Carolina Flores Gomez was found with a gunshot wound to her head at a luxury apartment in Mexico City. Authorities say that Gomez, who won the Miss Teen Universe title for northern Mexico’s Baja California state in 2017, died on Wednesday, a day before her body was found. The 27-year-old’s mother-in-law is reportedly considered the primary suspect in her death. Both Gomez’s husband, Alejandro Gomez, and his mother, Erika Maria, were in the residence when she died on Wednesday, according to local police. There were no reports of gunshots or unusual activity at the luxury apartment complex from building staff, authorities added. Gomez’s home was located in the low-crime, wealthy area of Polanco. “No crime against a woman should go unpunished. Our thoughts are with her family during this devastating time,” Baja California Governor Marina del Pilar Avila told reporters. The case has sparked significant outrage in Mexico since becoming public.
