The victim was beaten with a wooden club and then shot to death.

According to information from the Military Police (PM) a 21-year-old [trans woman] was killed late on Thursday (5) with two shots in the Artemis district in rural Piracicaba (SP). On her body there were injuries that may have been caused by a stone and a piece of wood that were found bloody near the victim, according to information from the Military Police recorded in the report.

The crime happened around 11:50 pm on the corner of São João and Julio Quinelatto streets, near the Artemis football field. According to the police record, the PM was called because a person had been shot and was lying on the scene. The body was found with signs of violence and the death was confirmed by a team of the Emergency Medical Service (Samu).

Near the victim were thrown objects, personal documents and the transvestite's purse, as well as a cobblestone and a bloodstained stick, according to the Civil Police.
