Cartel moll whacked

Paulina Arreola Perez, 26, was killed by gunmen in Mexico City after she was lured to a meeting.

Perez was riddled with 9 bullets. She was targeted due to her links with the La Union Tepito cartel. Her boyfriend was Alexis 'El Alexis' Martinez, one of the cartel's leaders. 'El Alexis' was murdered by rivals in March. The moll enjoyed a life of luxury with her mobster boyfriend, which she documented on social media. Following El Alexis's death, she shared her heartbreak: "Someday we will meet again." Her murder marks the third girlfriend of a member of La Union Tepito to meet that fate, following the killings of Valeria Diaz in May last year and Nayibi Mustafa in March.
