This is the horrifying moment a Venezuelan influencer is shot dead on a TikTok live stream after naming high-profile gang members who were allegedly extorting him.

A woman wailing and the sounds of gunfire could be heard as Jesus Sarmiento, who has 87,000 followers on TikTok, was murdered by armed men who broke into his home.

'They shot me, they shot me,' the 25-year-old muttered in the video broadcasted on Sunday, with blood visible on the floor.

Two men with guns then appear around the corner and seem to shoot him twice as the footage captures a scuffle before the live-stream ends abruptly.

Spanish newspaper El Pais has reported that family members said he was shot at least nine times.
