The event has shaken the community, as one more is added to their losses in the course of 2022, before which they demand justice so that the authorities find those responsible for such a heinous crime while complaining to the Government about the lack of guarantees to protect the lives of trans people.
“Trans women survive daily in the midst of indifference, hatred and oblivion. Today La Leona was murdered in the Center of Bucaramanga . They are in serious danger, we demand justice and actions to protect them and in turn meet demands that continue to be ignored, ”activist Olga Materón said through her twitter account.
On 1st April 2022 Emil Alfonso Martínez Jiménez was charged with aggrivated femicide and remanded in custody. Just over a year later however he was released without trial.
