Popular sinaloa YouTuber “El Gordo Peruci” Gunned Down, Wife Injured
Culiacán, Sinaloa – Tragedy struck the online community in Sinaloa as popular YouTuber Leobardo Aispuro Soto, known as “El Gordo Peruci,” was fatally shot in the 21 de marzo neighborhood. His wife was injured in the attack and rushed to a local hospital.
According to initial reports, Aispuro was targeted by unknown assailants while walking with his wife on Coronel Calixto Peña street. The brazen daylight shooting has sent shockwaves through the region, raising concerns about the safety of online personalities.
Aispuro gained notoriety for his content, which often featured firearms and garnered a large following on social media platforms. His videos, some of which displayed weapons, have now come under scrutiny in light of his tragic death.
This incident marks a disturbing trend of violence against YouTubers in Sinaloa. Just last month, Jesús Miguel Vibanco García, known online as ”jasper,” was found dead in a rural area outside Culiacán. Vibanco, who collaborated with another popular influencer, Markitos Stoy, was reportedly linked to the sons of notorious drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. Stoy himself disappeared two days ago after meeting with friends, adding to the growing unease.
Authorities are investigating possible connections between Aispuro’s online activities and his murder. His alleged ties to the sons of “El Chapo” have drawn the attention of U.S. law enforcement, who were reportedly investigating him.
The killings of these young influencers highlight the dangers faced by those who gain prominence online, particularly in regions plagued by violence and organized crime. As investigations continue, the online community mourns the loss of “El Gordo Peruci” and grapples with the unsettling reality of this latest tragedy.

Culiacán, Sinaloa – the shocking murder of YouTuber Leobardo Aispuro Soto (aka “El Gordo Peruci”) and the recent disappearance of fellow influencer Markitos Stoy have sent a chilling message echoing throughout Sinaloa’s online community: fame and online presence can carry a deadly price.
dr. Isabella Vargas, a sociologist specializing in the impact of organized crime on sociatal structures, spoke exclusively with NewsDirectory3.com about this alarming trend.
“This is not simply about isolated incidents,” Dr. Vargas stated.
“The brazen nature of thes attacks, coupled with the alleged connections to cartel figures, paints a disturbing picture. These young men were targeted, and their online presence likely played a role in making them vulnerable.”
When asked about the potential motivations behind these killings, Dr. Vargas highlighted the complex interplay of factors:
“It’s possible these individuals were seen as threats, either through their content or their real-life associations. It’s also conceivable these killings serve as a brutal message – a warning to others who might be considering sharing information or making connections that could challenge organized crime.”
Dr. Vargas stressed the urgent need for deeper examination and for platforms like YouTube to take duty.
“We need to understand the mechanisms that led to these tragedies,” she emphasized.
“Did their content inadvertently expose them to danger? Are these platforms doing enough to protect their creators, especially in regions susceptible to cartel violence?”
