The teenager had been abducted on Sunday evening by a group of hooded men armed with large-calibre weapons.
The abduction took place at a football court in Campo Nevada, Choloma.
Family members turned to social media for help in locating the abducted TikToker.
But the teen’s body was found on the highway the following day.
The body was initially unidentified and Forensic Medicine officials issued a call for information.
They described him as a young male with light skin, slim build, and no tattoos.
He had a surgical scar and metal pins in one leg.
He wore black jean-like pants and was barefoot.
Pedro’s haircut was stylised and he had an eyebrow design.
His family identified him at the morgue by his surgical scar and other features, as reported by Need To Know.
Pedro built a large following on TikTok thanks to his livestreaming battles with other influencers.
His last post was a collaboration with fellow TikToker Paty Burgos just hours before he was kidnapped.
She has since expressed her grief over her friend’s alleged murder.
The motive remains unknown as the investigation into his death continues.
