Instagram influencer Núbia Cristina Braga gunned down at home

Popular Brazilian beauty influencer Núbia Cristina Braga has been shot to death outside her house by motorcycle gunmen, who later fled the scene.

The grisly case came to light after the bombshell, who boasted nearly 60,000 Instagram followers, was discovered dead at her home in the Santa Maria neighborhood of Aracaju on the night of October 14, Jam Press reported.

According to authorities, Braga had just returned home from a hair salon — an appointment she detailed in her final Instagram story.

Shortly after she arrived, two men rode up on motorcycles and entered Braga’s property through the open front door, per the reports. Upon spotting the aspiring social media star, they opened fire, shooting her several times before fleeing the scene of the crime.

Authorities later arrived at the house at 9 p.m. to find Braga lying dead in a pool of her own blood.

The identities and motive of the masked assassins is unknown, however, police have since launched an investigation into the murder. They are also imploring the public to come forward with any information that will lead to their arrest.

The shooting marked a tragic end for Braga, who dreamed of one day becoming a world-renowned Instagram star. The Brazilian regularly posted content related to travel, beauty and fashion and even owned her own clothing store.

Despite her social media ambitions, the Brazilian beauty was also a selfless soul who volunteered in the community and helped organize parties for Children’s Day and Christmas. “Núbia did volunteer work and helped everyone,” described her aunt Cláudia Menezes. “She left a legacy behind.”

Braga is remembered by friends and admirers as honest, cheerful and independent, Jam Press reported.

Fans have since flocked to social media to mourn the Instagramer’s passing with one lamenting: “My JESUS, the woman only posted a Story 3 hours ago and was brutally murdered, only GOD can comfort her family and friends.”

“Rest in peace princess, you were an amazing girl,” wrote another, while one devastated supporter added, “There is no other of you, you are unique.”

“May your passage be peaceful, God is with you,” said another.

This isn’t the first time an influencer has been murdered under suspicious circumstances.

Last month, popular Mexican TikToker Karla Pardini, 21, was gunned down near her home after receiving an ominous late-night phone call.
