Cony was homeless and was murdered by three gang members.
Regarding the death of Conie [according to Caribe Afirmativo, her name was Cony], a trans woman murdered last Wednesday, she indicated that “it is known that in the early hours of the morning three subjects arrived wearing red, black and white t-shirts and who are identified as members of the “Carlos Pecueca” gang, they call themselves the minors, they arrived with a knife to stab the trans woman in various parts of her body causing her death. Two of these people were later captured.”
“Perhaps it is a complacency, which I have denounced, on the part of the police and intolerance on the part of the community in general. Let us remember that the call for “social cleansing” is serious because it is the systematic killing of people with the complacency of the civilian population. If you look at the comments on social networks or go out on the street, many people agree with the killing of homeless people and I think this is very worrying,” said the lawyer.
He also indicated that there is fear among some homeless people due to the increase in violent deaths of these people that has been recorded in Cúcuta.
