Remembering Our Dead

Tatiana Cerrato Pineda

Tatiana's body was one of three (the other two victims being those of cisgender men) found by firefighters in a burning property. The deaths are thought to be gang related.

The DPI reported that new arrest warrants could be issued for the triple murder in El Cimarrón, where two men and a trans woman were found burned to death in a freezer.

The official indicated that the Public Prosecutor's Office is already identifying more suspects and that, at the latest by Wednesday, there could be new developments in the case.

The statements come after the capture of Víctor Javier Rivas Castro (37 years old), an alleged member of Pandilla 18, accused of the murder of three people found burned in the village of El Cimarrón, in the Central District.

The victims were identified as Alejandro José Marcia Reyes, Bowey Burke Midence, and [deadname] Cerrato Pineda. Their bodies were found inside and near a freezer in a mountainous area of the region.

According to the investigation, the victims had been reported missing on Monday, May 11. The following day, members of the Fire Department responded to an alert about a forest fire in a mountainous area of the village of El Cimarrón.

Upon arriving at the scene, rescuers found two completely charred bodies inside a freezer, while a third body was located a few meters from the scene.
