Chepina was shot dead at her home.

[Deadname] Arteaga Morante, affectionately known as 'Chepina', was shot to death while she was at her home. An unknown subject gave her a passport to the country of the dead. The event was recorded at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 10, in the Camilo Giler citadel, in the Chone canton, in the north of the province of Manabí.

According to witnesses, the 22-year-old victim was badly injured after the violent attack. Due to the seriousness of her situation, her relatives took herr on a tricycle to Hospitale Napoleón Dávila.

Despite the efforts of his relatives, 'Chepina' lost her life on the way to the health home, at the height of Calle 7 de Agosto and Mercedes. Her body remained in the tricycle where it was transferred.

The specialized units of the National Police arrived at the site and covered the body with light blue plastic. The locals were surprised by what happened, and friends of the victim revealed that she was a very active member of the LGBTI community.

The National Police intended to collect data and versions to feed the investigation that provides certainty of what happened. About the gunman who extinguished Arteaga's life, it was learned that he fled on a motorcycle with a friend who was waiting for him.

The body was transferred to the Forensic Center of Manta for the necropsy of law. According to police data, 62 violent deaths have already been recorded in Chone so far in 2022.
