On the evening of Sunday, December 5, 2021, Hernández had just finished working at a film set and was outside a restaurant when two men took her bag. She attempted to intervene by standing in front of her blue Jeep Cherokee,[1] but the perpetrators started her vehicle and ran her over, dragging her to the nearby Tijuana-Rosarito highway.

Emergency services found her near the highway and transported her to Clinic 20 at the Mexican Social Security Institute.[2] Shortly after arriving, Hernández died due to traumatic injuries to her head.[3][4]
