La nota https://www.swissinfo.ch/spa/asesinan-a-un-hombre-trans-en-colombia%2C-el-sexto-asesinato-lgtbi-en-lo-que-va-de-a%C3%B1o/88722125 habla del contexto de violencia en Colombia presentando un caso de un hombre trans Diany Ruiz y varios casos de mujeres trans, en la nota se habla de Eder José García. Sin embargo, Eder no es una persona trans, es una persona gay. Así lo reconoce Caribe Afirmativo. 04 de enero de 2025. Con profunda preocupación y tristeza, desde Caribe Afirmativo denunciamos que el año 2024 cerró con una ola de violencia contra las personas LGBTIQ+, reflejo de una persistente y alarmante vulnerabilidad en nuestra sociedad. Los crímenes que segaron la vida de Andreina, una mujer trans en Medellín, y de Eder José García Hurtado, un hombre gay en Cartagena, son prueba de que los prejuicios y el odio siguen cobrando vidas.

Las demás notas que hablan de Eder lo señalan como un hombre, y no veo referencia a decir hombre trans. Este jueves 2 de enero, alrededor de las 10:00 a.m. habitantes del barrio Las Gaviotas, segunda etapa, alertaron sobre un fuerte olor a descomposición proveniente de un apartamento. Al llegar las autoridad descubrieron el cuerpo sin vida de Eder José García Hurtado, un hombre de 50 años originario de Cartagena, quien presentaba una herida con arma cortopunzante en la espalda.

Eder's body was found with stab wounds in his own home on Thursday 2nd January. The state of decomposition suggests that he was killed several days earlier.
The death of Eder José García Hurtado is confusing. There are more questions than answers about what happened to him in an apartment in the Las Gaviotas neighborhood. The only thing confirmed so far is that the man was killed with a sharp weapon.
The Metropolitan Police of Cartagena issued a statement and announced that at 10 am on Thursday, January 2, the lifeless and decomposed body of this 50-year-old man was found. According to the institution's report, García Hurtado had a stab wound; However, it did not provide details of how the attack occurred.
The investigation of the crime is being carried out by the Technical Investigation Corps (CTI) of the Attorney General's Office, which was responsible for carrying out the technical inspection of the body that was then taken to the morgue of Legal Medicine in Cartagena. El Universal arrived at the headquarters of the institute, but was unable to speak with the victim's relatives. Read: Eder García found dead in an apartment in Las Gaviotas
Who killed Eder José? Why and when? These are just some of the questions that remain about this mysterious crime. The neighborhood is shocked and moved, saying they do not know the motives or the date on which it was committed. Given the state of decomposition of the body, they assume that the victim was attacked days before.
El Universal learned that García Hurtado lived in Las Gaviotas, but frequented the Pie del Cerro neighborhood for his work related to tourism in Cartagena. There are several hypotheses on social media about how his crime was committed, but none of these versions have been confirmed or denied by the Police.
