According to general information, he was found inside his delivery vehicle in a convenience store parking lot on Emilio Abreu Street.
Isaac Efraín Valadez, who described himself as “an ordinary person, with everyday real-life adventures, transparent and original,” sparked controversy among his followers due to one of his last posts on his official social media account.
“This trip seems to be the last one, perhaps, but we’re going to enjoy it as if it were the first of the year. Nothing is as real as the speed you perceive when you look or feel through the windows of your soul. I’m just passing through, and I hope to do better this time than yesterday. Forever 3 points. El Llano Colorado, Baja California, Mexico,” the post read.
To date, the Baja California State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) has not reported any arrests in this case, while followers mourned his death by posting numerous messages on his official account.
