The content creator’s ex-boyfriend, Mario Bastidas came to visit her at a rented accommodation the night before.
According to reports, the neighbours had heard screams and blows coming from the apartment during the night, but apparently had not wanted to intervene.
The 28-year-old rented the flat in the coastal resort of Santa Marta, Colombia.
The main suspect for the murder is Lisney’s ex-boyfriend, named as Mario Bastidas, who was in the room at the time of the incident.
He went on the run but later handed himself into police and admitted what he had done.
The confessed murderer revealed to the authorities that the crime occurred in the middle of an argument.
Lisney’s ex-lover reportedly had ended the relationship because of the revealing content that she sold online.
Bastidas had sent a message to Lisney’s older sister in which he confessed to the crime and gave her the address of where the body had been left.
Gómez’s body was found by the police at the rented flat later that morning.
She was reportedly found with multiple stab wounds caused by a sharp instrument.
However, a police source told local media that it has not been confirmed yet how the blogger was killed and added: “At the moment, it is not known if it was with a firearm, knife or asphyxiation, we are working to clarify what happened.”
Metropolitan Police commander, Colonel Yasid Montano, told local media that Bastidas now faces charges of murder and femicide.
Lisney’s friend, who has not been named, said: “She didn’t deserve that. People write to me to insult me and tell me that she was on the wrong track.
“She was murdered by her ex-partner, a jerk who never loved her or valued her.
“I hope justice is done.”
Gómez, who had a large following on Instagram and TikTok, leaves behind a two-year-old son.
The investigation into her death is ongoing.
Secretary of Women and Gender Equality of Santa Marta said they are conducting a process for the victim’s son and added: “We were at the scene of the events and now we are where the alleged murderer is giving statements about how the events occurred.
“We also contacted the director of the Icbf [The Colombian Institute of Family Welfare], because the rights of the victim’s son are at stake.”
