TikTok star Gabriel Salazar, 19, was driving three undocumented immigrants from Mexico during the night of his fatal, high-speed police chase in Texas, according to reports.
Police in Zavala County tried stop Salazar - known as GabeNotBabe on social media - around 1:25am on Sunday (September 26), but the teenager kept speeding until he crashed into several trees and rolled over. The car burst into flames.
It's unclear why police tried to pull over Salazar's 2014 white Camaro, which has a top speed of 184mph and costs nearly $25,000, but police said he refused to stop.
Cops deployed a tire deflation system, but it failed.
Salazar along with three undocumented Mexican immigrant passengers - later identified as Luiz Jimenez Mora, 41, Jose Molina-Lara, 23, and Sergio Espinoza-Flores, 36 - all died in the fiery crash, WOAI in San Antonio reported.
Officials from the La Pryor Fire Department, Crystal City Volunteer Fire Department and Alamo EMS responded and told News4 San Antonio that they had trouble putting out the fire because fuel kept spewing from a ruptured gas tank and fed the inferno.
