Evelin's body was found in a vacant lot with signs of being beaten to death the same day she was reported missing.

Nava, Coah.- Nava police authorities reported the discovery of a lifeless person with signs of male violence, identified as [deadname] Galván Zamora, but who was known as “Evelin Abigaíl” Galván when she participated in gay beauty pageants.

The body was located in a vacant lot in the Las Torres neighborhood in Nava. Her friends had put out a call via social networks to locate her, since they had not heard from her since last weekend.
