Family friends and neighbors of Karla Fonseca, a trans woman member of the LGTBQ community, demonstrated this Friday afternoon in the municipality of Pabellón de Arteaga, in Aguascalientes, after members of the Municipal Police ran over her when she was traveling as a result of an accident on a motorcycle in the company of another friend.
The events occurred on October 3 where, according to the municipal police, they launched a chase against the motorcycle that had supposedly made a purchase and sale of marijuana.
Relatives, neighbors and friends indicate that this was not the case, even the other person who was traveling on the motorcycle who suffered severe injuries to one of his legs was at the demonstration and said that they were traveling on a dirt road when the patrol came across them. He was speeding and to avoid the collision he lost control of the motorcycle. It was at that moment that the patrol vehicle ran over Karla, killing her on the spot.
