Ana Paula Costas, a trans woman, died on Saturday afternoon after 12 days of being hospitalized after receiving a strong blow to the head. Her death could be the first travesticidio this year. The family and the LGTBBIQ + community, family, friends demand justice for her death, maintaining that it was a hate crime. Her body was transferred to the judicial morgue and an autopsy will be performed on Monday.

In the early hours of August 27, Ana Paula was walking to her home in Alto Comedero and was surprised by men who beat her with a blunt object. After 12 days, hospitalized and in serious condition, she died.

Ana Paula, 43 years old, was found by the police between 1:00 and 1:30 AM after suffering an attack on her head that caused serious injuries. That morning the police notified the family of the incident at around 2:30 AM.

Ana Paula lived with her mother, and she was notified: “They found her daughter lying down with a blow to the head near the penitentiary on Forestal Avenue. She was taken to the “Carlos Snopek” hospital, at 4 in the morning she was transferred to the “Pablo Soria” hospital. The blow was strong causing a wound that did not stop bleeding, she had blood clots so they resorted to an emergency operation to save her life” recounts a niece. Meanwhile, Yesica, another niece, highlighted that “when my aunt entered the hospital she said that a car stopped and men attacked her from behind,”

At the hospital she underwent emergency surgery and the neurologist's medical report was "cerebral contusion. She has a brain injury, serious injuries, a CT scan was performed which did not give good results and a reserved prognosis."
