Manaus - A [trans woman] identified as [deadname] Alves, 23, better known as Ketelen, died with two gunshots at dawn on Saturday (23), in a prostitution spot next to the headquarters of the State Secretariat of Finance (Sefaz), south-central zone of Manaus. The information can be found in the investigation report of the Specialized Homicide and Kidnapping Police Station (DEHS).
Ketelen was waiting for customers at the prostitution spot on Rua Franco de Sá, San Francisco, around 2:30 pm on Saturday, with at least two other [trans women] near her. A man in a black Fox car with an unidentified license plate stopped to ask two other [trans women] for information about what the cost of a program would be.
The the unidentified man (who had a tattoo on one arm) then stopped the car near Ketelen and talked to [her]. After talking with Ketelen and without getting out of the vehicle, the man fired two shots into the victim's abdomen.
