According to information from reporter Rafaella Pimentel, from TV Tribuna PE, no one recognized the victim.
It was only when the homicide department task force team arrived and forensic experts began to analyze the body that they saw that it was that of a [trans woman]. She had no identification and appeared to be around 30 years old. The forensic examination found no clear signs of violence on her body, only a nosebleed.
For now, the police have registered the case as a death to be clarified. There is a suspicion that the victim died from suffocation, but this can only be proven in an examination carried out at the IML.

Subsequently police arrested a man who had been filmed carrying her body and throwing it on the street.
