According to reports, Brazilian Instagram influencer Núbia Cristina Braga, 23. has been shot dead in front of her house by gunmen who fled by motorcycle.

Braga boasted a following on IG of over 60,000 followers and had aspirations of expanding her brand into becoming a global influencer. She regularly posted content related to travel, beauty and fashion and even owned her own clothing store.
Here is more on the story.
A popular Brazilian social media influencer was reportedly gunned down at her home last week, according to local media reports.
Núbia Cristina Braga, a 23-year-old influencer with nearly 60,000 followers on Instagram as of Wednesday, was shot and killed at her home last week in the Santa Maria neighborhood of Aracaju, the capital of the state of Sergipe on Brazil’s northeast coast.
Hours before she was killed on Friday, Braga posted her last Instagram story, sharing the details of a hair appointment, Jam Press reported. She had already returned home when two men reportedly arrived on a motor bicycle and entered her property through an open front door.
Upon spotting the social media star, they opened fire, G1 Globo reported, citing Military Police (PM). The alleged assasins then fled the scene, but it’s unclear from reports whether anything was taken from the residence.
Authorities responded around 9 p.m. to find Braga shot several times and lying in a pool of her own blood.
No motive has been announced, and police are asking the public to call a hotline with any information.
The victim’s aunt, Cláudia Menezes, said that Braga, “never said if she was being threatened.”
