Remembering Our Dead

Daniela Martínez Silva

Daniela's body was found with signs of violence in a drainage ditch.

Morelia, Michoacán (MiMorelia.com) - The discovery of the lifeless body of a trans woman on the Libramiento Norte in Morelia has generated a public demand for justice from social groups.

According to initial reports, the victim was found Saturday morning in a drainage ditch located on the median, near calle Huaniqueo in the Solidaridad neighborhood, and showed signs of violence.

Unofficially, it was reported that the woman was part of the LGBT community, which prompted a statement from the Pride Michoacán collective, which requested that the case be investigated with a gender, diversity and human rights perspective.

The organization expressed its position on the matter through social media:

“Hate crimes must stop!

@fgemichoacan we demand an investigation with a gender and diversity perspective.

Her death must not go unpunished and those responsible must be held accountable.

Rest in peace, Daniela, cross the rainbow bridge”

The group asked the authorities to ensure that the case does not go unpunished and that justice is guaranteed for the victim.

Today Michoacán mourns the loss caused by the hatred of a heartless animal, by cowardice, by the hatred felt at seeing a person happy. Today the trans community of Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico mourns because she was taken from us in the most vile and cowardly way.

-- Nicole Navarrete Contreras, LGBTIQ+ activist
