The three of them used to be active on their social networks and shared different moments about the parties they attended. On her Instagram account, Sheila had filmed a DJ at the "Space" bowling alley, in the aforementioned city of Moreno's party, where she tagged her friends.
"Jagueando," she wrote in the recording along with an emoji of the Chinese flag, in the place where they celebrated the "Halloween" party. The story was later reposted by Stefanía.
