Ángel Jacinto Reina García ("La Fideo")
Age 3511 May 2025
Esmeraldas (Ecuador)
Shot
Ángel was shot in the street by unidentified assailants.
With deep sadness and total indignation, the Silueta X Association, as a member of the Ecuadorian Federation of LGBT+ Organizations and the National Trans Platform “CoaliTrans” , strongly condemns the murder of ÁJ (Runa Sipiy Codification SX-252875), a trans woman recognized in Esmeraldas for her work as a stylist and affectionately known as “La Fideo” .
The incident occurred on the morning of Sunday, May 11th, Mother's Day, in the El Arenal neighborhood, in the northern part of the city of Esmeraldas. Ángel, 35, was shot and killed by as yet unidentified assailants, who fled in an unknown direction after the attack. Her body was left lying in the street, and the grief of her family and loved ones was heartbreaking.
This crime is not an isolated incident. It is part of a serious and growing wave of structural violence faced by the transgender population in Ecuador, marked by hatred, discrimination, and impunity. Based on our observations and community data collection, we warn that there is an underreporting of gender-based crimes due to the lack of specific classifications in the judicial system and the lack of effective action by state institutions.
