Amanda's body was found with two stab wounds inside a vacant lot next to a roundabout.

A [trans woman] identified by the name of 17-year-old [deadname] Ribeiro Araujo, better known as “Amanda Araújo” was found dead on Monday morning, inside a vacant lot in front of the avendida Pedro Neiva de Santana roundabout.

Amanda had recently arrived from the city of Goiânia (GO), and had been in Imperatriz a few months, living in the house of relatives. The victim was killed with two stab wounds to the abdomen and may have been the victim of murder.
