A young life cut short, a family shattered, and thousands of online fans left in shock! That’s the tragedy surrounding lifestyle influencer Yarely Ashley Hermosillo, who lost her life in what police say was a senseless act of road rage in Arizona. She was just 27.
It all unfolded late Friday night in Glendale. According to investigators, two drivers began arguing on the road. The fight didn’t stop when the cars pulled up to a red light at a busy intersection. Words turned into violence, and one man pulled out a gun.

In those chaotic seconds, a bullet fired from his weapon traveled not toward his rival, but into a completely unrelated car passing by.
Inside that vehicle sat Yarely Ashley Hermosillo, her boyfriend behind the wheel, her mother beside her, and her 3-year-old son in the back seat. They had nothing to do with the dispute. Yet tragedy struck.
The bullet pierced the passenger-side window, hitting Yarely in the head. She was rushed to the hospital, but doctors could not save her. She died shortly after midnight.

Police quickly identified the suspect as Jesus Preciado Dousten, who was arrested the same night. He now faces multiple charges including second-degree murder, aggravated assault, illegal possession of a firearm, and endangerment. Court records show he is being held on a $1 million bond.
For Yarely’s family, the sudden loss is almost unbearable. On a GoFundMe page created to support funeral costs, loved ones described her as “a loving wife, a devoted mother, and a beautiful soul whose light touched everyone who knew her.”
Known for her bright personality and relatable posts, Yarely built a loyal following of more than 300,000 fans across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. She often shared cooking ideas, showcased local restaurants, and gave small glimpses into her daily life.
Now, all her social media accounts are not active.
