The body of a [trans woman] was found in a parking lot on Rua Governador Sampaio, in downtown Fortaleza. Images of the place where the body was found were taken by residents and posted on social media. The victim, who has not yet been identified, was found with signs of strangulation this Saturday, 9, according to the Civil Police.

At the site, there is a graffiti referring to the criminal faction Comando Vermelho (CV).

This was, at least, the second murder of a trans person in Fortaleza this year. On February 11, 22-year-old Sofia was found dead on a plot of land in the Bom Jardim neighborhood. The transvestite was missing part of her clothing, and many stones were found near and on top of her. So far, no suspects have been arrested.
