Valery's body was found outside a health centre in the centre of La Lima on the morning of Friday 14th May 2021.

La Lima, Honduras. They found 23-year-old Valery Pereira murdered on the morning of Friday the 14th in Lima, in northern Honduras. The body was discovered by neighbors on a sidewalk near the health center located in the Cerrato neighborhood. Her death was apparently caused by bullets and stones.

Patients at the health center discovered the body of Pereira, a native of Mapulaca, in the western department of Lempira, and called the police to report the discovery. At the time of her death, the young woman was dressed in dark pants and a light shirt and was lying on her back on the sidewalk.

The establishment next to which the trans woman died is about a hundred meters from the center of La Lima, one of the cities most affected by the floods caused by hurricanes Eta and Iota in November 2020.
