Nuestra Belleza Sinaloa 2012, was held at the Modular Inés Arredondo of Culiacán, Sinaloa on June 22, 2012. At the conclusion of the final night of competition, Karime Macías from Mazatlán was crowned the winner. Macías was crowned by outgoing Nuestra Belleza Sinaloa titleholder, Grecia Gutiérrez. Eight contestants competed for the title.
One of the contestants, María Susana Flores Gámez, 20, was killed in a shoot-out confrontation between a gang of Mexican drug traffickers and Mexican soldiers. She emerged first with a gun, from the traffickers' vehicle, and was killed in a hail of gunfire. It was first suggested that she was likely used as a human shield but later tests revealed she had gunpowder residue on her hands suggesting she may have fired the weapon. Investigators are unsure as to whether Gámez was a willing participant in the shootout and fired on Mexican troops or whether she was being used as a human shield.
