Lucero

Lucero was shot by two men while she was walking along an unpaved road.

In a regrettable event that highlights the persistent violence against the LGBTIQ+ community in Sucre, 'Lucero', a trans woman, was murdered in the Cielo Azul neighborhood of Sincelejo, Caribbean, during midday last Sunday, November 12.

Two motorized men approached her while she was walking on an unpaved road, and one of them shot her, leaving her badly injured, according to witness reports. Despite her efforts to quickly transfer her to a healthcare center, 'Lucero' died due to the severity of the wound.
