March 24, 2023. Luna Ramírez Soto, a trans woman from Bello, Antioquia, had her throat cruelly slit while she was sleeping on a sidewalk in the Rosalpi neighborhood and completely unable to defend herself. According to her community, she was a calm woman who had no problems or threats and who collected recycling as a way to support herself. According to preliminary witness reports, her killer escaped through the streets of the La Mesa neighborhood.
