Suicide
Alexander died by suicide.
Last night we lost another brother from Puerto Rico. There has been so much cyber bullying and emotional harassment that Alexander didn't make it. He was an amazing support to the Trans M Community in Out 100X35 little Island and served as a moderator in many activities geared towards visibility to become a better man than the traditional man role. He also had a trouble side one that constantly overshadowed all the goodness he spread. My heart is broken because we lost another so young Trans M. He was selected to be part my project from the very beginning.
He will be missed and always remembered...hasta Pronto Alexander.

TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/29-Sep-2022/Isabella Alvarez
Bella's body was found inside her apartment with a cable wrapped around her neck. Her apartment was in a state of disarray and may have been robbed.
León, Guanajuato - Isabella Álvarez, a transsexual girl, was found dead and with traces of violence inside her apartment in the Central Zone , one street from the Expiatory Temple. Neighbors of the apartment building with a white and green facade, marked with the number 116 José Alvarado, co-workers and relatives were the ones who located the body.
According to the first versions, Isabella worked in a parcel company and since Tuesday she did not show up for her work; Co-workers and family members of hers have since lost contact with her.
For this reason, they decided to look for her in her apartment, number 301 on the third floor of the building, located between Pedro Moreno and Francisco I. Madero streets. When they entered, they found her with signs of violence, apparently with a cable tied around her neck and with her nails detached , so it is presumed that she tried to defend herself from her aggressor, about whom no information is known.
It was around 2 in the afternoon yesterday when the first reports were received to 911 about the event. Police and paramedics were mobilized to the scene, who certified Isabella's death, although authorities did not confirm if she had, in addition to blows, injuries with some type of weapon.
Although the apartment was supposedly messy, it was not confirmed if Isabella's belongings were missing; and despite the fact that the plates were not forced, the motive for the crime has not been determined by the authorities.
The place was guarded by police and members of the National Guard while agents from the State Prosecutor's Office carried out the investigation work and then took the body to the Forensic Medical Service for an autopsy.
Isabella's friends knew her as Bella. At the time she was murdered she had just received identity documents in her true name.

Beaten

Nicol died in hospital 3 days after being beaten by her brother in law when she intervened to defend her sister from him.
Daniel Silvestrilli, 30, has been charged with her murder.
Buenos Aires, Argentina. The travesti and trans community of La Plata is shocked by the transvesticide of Nicol Ruiz, a 35-year-old woman and mother of two children, who was savagely beaten on the head by her sister's partner.
The attack that led to her death was perpetrated on the night of Friday, September 23, at her sister's house. When Nicol arrived at the house, located between calles 141 and 79 in the Los Hornos neighborhood of La Plata, she found her sister arguing strongly with her partner, Daniel Silvestrilli.
Nicol intervened to stop the man's violence, but the aggressor reacted against her, hitting her hard with a broomstick on the head until Nicol collapsed unconscious. Although she was immediately transferred to the San Martín hospital, she was hospitalized in serious condition and died on Monday the 26th.
Daniel Silvestrilli was detained in Prison Unit Number 36 of the Buenos Aires Penitentiary Service. According to the information provided by the Prosecutor's Office No. 2 of La Plata to Present, that Friday the man was not complying with his temporary exit regime and an arrest warrant was released for him. Silvestrilli was already serving a sentence of 9 years and six months in prison for aggravated robbery. For the woman's death, the accused must face charges of "homicide in the context of gender violence."
Nicol was a parent who leaves behind two teenagers, and often cared for others in her community.
Nicol was 35 years old and the mother of two teenagers. Her family emphasizes that she was the one who ran the house and was in charge of finances. During the pandemic, when the housing situation was extreme for the LGBT population , Nicol was supportive and took care of housing and asking for help for her colleagues who had nowhere to live.
The Otrans Civil Association, with whom she collaborated, remembered Nicol and demanded justice for his crime. “We express to her family and friends our deepest condolences and deep pain for the [murder] of our partner Nicol Ruiz. Likewise, we demand justice, taking into account the aggravating circumstance of hatred of self-perceived gender identity," the statement said.
“Nicol was a breadwinner, the mother of two children, who after her death are left without his protection. It becomes essential, to be part of the emotional agenda of our country and for society to mourn and be horrified when they kill a fellow [trans person]”.
Nicol Ruiz suffered from kidney failure and had to undergo dialysis treatment. For this reason, they estimate, the blow caused the immediate formation of a clot in her head that complicated the situation. Nicol's family and her friends called for a demonstration to be held on Wednesday, September 28 at 11 am in front of Prosecutor's Office 7 (at calles 56 and 57, La Plata) with the slogan "enough violence for travestis and trans".

Flyers and posters were widely circulated on social media and throughout the city, saying Brenneman was last seen at 9 p.m. Sept. 16. Social media posts of Brenneman's missing person flyer were shared thousands of times.
Brenneman's family posted on Facebook Tuesday, saying they are heartbroken and that their child had struggled with mental health issues the family had been getting care for. "While we can only speculate as to where [deadname] was mentally on Friday, the 16th, a note on [her] phone eluded to the fact that [her] mental health struggles remained," wrote Bryan Brenneman.
The statement also addressed numerous posts on social media that their child may have been using the name Serena and identified with they/them or she/her pronouns.
"We are aware of and had open discussions regarding [deadname]'s gender identity," the post continued. "This was an ongoing process that [deadname] continued to question with us and [herself]. If [deadname] had asked you personally to use different pronouns, or names, please continue to do so."
At a memorial held at her high school Serena was described as "Quirky, kind, stylish and sweet":
Quirky, kind, stylish, sweet: That's how many classmates remembered Serena Brenneman during a memorial at West Salem High School.
More than 100 parents, students, administrators and community members gathered near the entrance of the school Tuesday night to share their grief and memories of the 16-year-old who was last seen at a West Salem High School football game Sept. 16.
Brenneman's girlfriend spoke briefly at the memorial, recalling final conversations before she went missing.

Chocolatito Anzora
24 Sep 2022
Conchagua, La Unión (El Salvador)
Suicide
Chocolatito died by suicide. Reportedly discrimination and the lack of support from her family were major factors in her death.
Colectivo LGBT+ "Perlas de Oriente" confirmed that the transgender woman "took her own life due to discrimination and lack of support from her family" . The report of her death from her remains low profile, however, some of her acquaintances from her referred to her by her last name, Anzora; but she was known as "Chocolatito" , and lived in the municipality of Conchagua, in La Unión.
Anzora, like other gender-diverse people, has been the victim of harassment and intolerance in the country. A similar case occurred in the municipality of Ahuachapán, on June 18, 2021. The Anzora case, however, did not finalize details about her death. However, Anzora's death has been added to the unofficial statistics that LGBT organizations have collected since the 1990s.
Anzora was a transgender woman, known to colleagues and activists in LGBT institutions. Yesterday afternoon, the lawyer and activist Karla Guevara from the Alejandría Collective, expressed her “anger and rejection” of her, among other things, for her material loss from her. "She took her own life yesterday, a victim of the rejection of her family and society in general ," she detailed, referring to information acquired by the institution that the victim represented, Colectivo LGTBIQ Estrellas del La Union Gulf.
“ The first thing the mother asks is that they cut her hair and dress her in men's clothing, which is outrageous and reprehensible. May you find eternal rest, sister!” , Guevara added, he added, from the information cited. He also valued, in response to a revictimizing society, that "the worst thing is that they don't even respect our identity when they are dead..." .
Social organizations such as the Perlas de Oriente Collective lamented the loss of Chocolatito. From their official virtual sites, they expressed their “deepest condolences for the death of our colleague Trans De Conchagua La Unión, member of the LGTBIQ Collective Estrellas del Golfo La Unión” . And they exclaimed “God receive you in Glory Sister."

Stabbed
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/14-Sep-2022/Susana Villareal
Susy was killed in her bed. She was a well known member of her community who had acted in the Netflix series "Somos".
This Wednesday, September 14, Durango's Susana Villarreal, who participated as an actress in the Netflix series Somos, was found dead, according to various LGBT+ groups and activists in the city of Durango.
The State Attorney General's Office (FGE) announced that the woman was 53 years old and lived in the Tierra Blanca neighborhood, located south of the city of Durango. Her body was found inside a dwelling and at first glance appeared to have wounds caused by a knife. The state agency indicates that it was approximately at 12:20 pm this Wednesday, when the body was found. The authorities found out through a report to the C-5.
After the emergency call, the elements of the various security groups came and after entering inside a dwelling they found the body , which had a puncture wound in the neck. The Public Ministry (MP) ordered it be transfered to the facilities of the Forensic Medical Service (Semefo), where the doctors performed the autopsy. At the time of publication of this edition they had not determined the cause of death.
While in a statement published on her social networks, the Duranguense activist, Alejandra Roldán, confirmed the death of the actress and asked the media not to speculate about her death, for which she asked to wait for official information from the authorities. "We also ask the corresponding authorities to open a line of investigation as a "hate crime" or "transfeminicide". Susy will always be a great woman and activist. The Great Susy rests in peace ," concludes Roldán's statement.
"Susy", as they affectionately called her, was a trans woman who owned a dwelling in the city of Durango. Thanks to one of her friends she found out about the casting for the Netflix series Somos, which was specifically aimed at the LGBT+ community in the entity.
The six-part miniseries tells the story of the massacre that occurred in Allende, Coahuila, in 2011 at the hands of the Los Zetas cartel. Where several people from Durango gave a voice to the victims, people who put aside their daily lives and went to a casting to be part of "Somos."
Her friend encouraged Susana to go to the audition, but she never imagined that she would be selected. It was precisely her naturalness that earned her the role of "Madame", Allende's madrota , a character to whom it was not difficult to adapt since during a time of her life she worked in a bar where a quite similar environment was lived, to the pair that lived with [sex workers] and drunkards, he said in an exclusive interview for El Sol de Durango.
Her participation marked an important guideline in the LGBT+ community of Durango, since as a trans woman, Susana assured that there are more and more opportunities in various work fields , "in my time you struggled to get any job due to social stigmas and currently the opportunity is for everyone regardless of sex, gender or sexual preference” , he recalled with a smile on his face.
"In my time, people struggled to get any job due to social stigmas, and today the opportunity is open to everyone regardless of sex, gender, or sexual preference," she recalled with a smile on his face.
In November 2024 the State of Durango (FGED) Attorney General's Office reported that it had brought charges against Susy's partner (named only as Manuel de Jesús "N") for the crime of qualified homicide.

Carolina's body was found a day after she had disappeared on Sunday 11th September. She had been shot in the head.
The murders do not stop in Ecuador: they find a trans woman shot in the head
The Quito Trans Psycho Center of the Silhouette X Association, members of the National Platform "New Trans Ecuador Network" (which covers rural, community and periphery areas with its collectives), the GLBTI Observatory, and the National Federation of LGBT Organizations, make public the following fact.
In Ecuador there is a significant increase in violent deaths against LGBTI people, particularly trans women and men. In less than two months there are already several victims who have been reported, first as missing, to later be found lifeless and with evidence of violence and torture on their bodies.
This time, the murder occurred in the city of Esmeraldas against a companion who responded to the names of Carolina de Leo Montaño, a 25-year-old trans woman, who lived in the Porto de Limón neighborhood sector in Esmeraldas. Her friends and family informed the Trans Psycho Center of her disappearance on Sunday, September 11, 2022. Local media such as "La Calle Habla", directed by Darío Robinson Rivera, also alerted her.
On Sunday, Carolina received a call and left for an unknown destination without telling her relatives where she was going; she took the keys to her house so as not to disturb her return. However, she never came back. A day later, her family and friends reported that she was found dead by a firearm projectile with an entry and exit hole in her head, execution style. Her body was found in the central market of the city of Esmeraldas.

Bobby Melon
Age 24 (born 15 Feb 1998)11 Sep 2022
Rennes, Ille-et-Vilaine (France)
Suicide
Bobby's body was found on Sunday 11th September - two days after he had disappeared.
Bobby Melon was 24 years old. I met him when we were both 16 years old, I always knew him struggling with his mental health. He left school at 16 because of bullying, was essentially hanging around with a guitar. He tried multiple time to get help to get a job, starting studies again or get an handicapped fund from the state, but he never really got help from any associations in France. Instead, he got tricked multiple times in fake jobs or toxic relationships. He did sex work and was assaulted. Was constantly misgendered by public organisations. During the COVID time, after a few suicidal attempt, he tried to get in a psychiatric hospital, had to cut himself in the waiting room to finally be taken seriously. But after a few weeks there, he didn't got any following therapy, and didn't had money to get a private clinic. He couldn't get the mamectomy he wanted either, waited for years on a public waiting list without any answers. He tried to live out of his parents place a few times, but could never afford an appartment, we lived together a few times in queer squat and collocations. However, he was a very kind and understanding individual, talking very few about himself, always listening, helping whoever he could. Playing in some bands, he was very talented. From what I know, before his death, he said to some people close to him that he was struggling with money a lot. 3 days after his body was found, his family received a letter saying that after 2 years of waiting, he was finally allowed to get the french handicap fund.
We contacted the police when he disappeared the 9 september, and they found his body the 11 in a pretty far and hidden part of a park, by locating his phone. We learned the news, but couldn't get any informations about the funerals or anything, his family, in suffering, didn't told us anything until very late. Only 4-5 of his queer friends, including me, were allowed to the funerals. I couldn't see his body, but apparently, he was shaved and had feminine makeup on, putted by the people who were preparing his body. We couldn't get any objects or souvenirs from him because of his parents. However, his mom insisted to remove the "Miss" next to his name and burried him with his neutral birth name that he didn't hated too much, Ayeka Foin, even if we always knew him as Bobby.
He wanted to travel. He wanted to get married. Have kids. He was writing songs that he never showed. He wanted his family to understand him. He wanted to have his freedom. But he couldn't.

Alex Bastien
Age 109 Sep 2022
Saint-Jérôme, Quebec (Canada)
Suicide
Alex died by suicide after struggling with the effects of a precocious puberty which was changing his body in ways he had expressed he did not want.
Although he was supported by his parents, he had also suffered conflicts and bullying at school.
“It’s a parent’s worst nightmare.” A mother from Gatineau is crying out from the heart so that no child ever again decides to take their own life because they question their sexual orientation or gender identity.
On March 9, Annick Dinelle’s life changed. Her child, who had asked to be called Alex, rather than [deadname], committed suicide. Alex’s questions about his gender identity and sexual orientation had begun in the months leading up to his death, his mother claims.
“[He] had asked us if we would accept that she was gay, lesbian or trans. [He] was looking at [himself] a lot. As his parents, he had been told that no matter [how he identified] we were always going to love him”. The child had expressed her wish to wear a [binder] around [his] chest to hide [his] curves and even to have [his] breasts completely removed. For Christmas, he also wanted to receive boxers for boys as a present.
In the fall, Alex’s parents noticed a change of attitude in their child, who showed more and more aggressive behavior, which was not like him. The mother claims her child was allegedly bullied at school. To help Alex, his parents made an appointment with a doctor, in addition to consulting social workers. Just before spring break, an intervention plan was put in place to support Alex. But that was not enough: the Wednesday following the return to class, Alex ended his life.
A coroner observed that Alex had developed precocious puberty and was struggling with the changes happening to his body.

Luise Fernandes Cazé
Age 236 Sep 2022
São Luís, Maranhão (Brazil)
Suicide
Luise died by suicide.
Luise Fernandes was transgender and had been living in São Luís for a year, where she was studying psychology at a private university in the capital of Maranhão. After her death, the family ended up burying the body of Devandro Lima, who died in a car accident, in her place. The error was only discovered five days after Devandro Lima's family found out about the accident and went to the Legal Medical Institute (IML).
Luise's family went to court to bury the young woman's body in Brasília, her homeland. But due to negative decisions, she was buried in São Luís.
The victim was found dead in a square in the Cidade Operária neighborhood where she lived on September 6. According to Sônia Fernandes Cazé, her daughter, who suffered from depression, resorted to suicide, through an overdose of medication.
Without money, the mother was not able to travel immediately for São Luís. The following day, Ms. Sônia went to Instituto Florescer, an organization that supports the LGBTQIA+ public, where Luise had already been treated because of her psychological disorders. Meanwhile, the young woman's body was taken to the Legal Medical Institute. Five days after supposedly burying her daughter, back in Brasília, the mother received a call from the Legal Medical Institute warning that the body she had buried was that of someone else.
In a cruel twist of fate, five days after burying her daughter in Brasília, Luise's mother received a call telling her that she had buried the wrong person. Although the body has been exhumed and returned to the correct family, the morgue are now refusing to release Luise's body.
Five days after supposedly burying her daughter, back in Brasília, the mother received a call from the Legal Medical Institute warning that the body she had buried was that of someone else. The person who Sônia had buried was Devandro Lima Souza, as shown in the document sent to the cemetery, requesting the exhumation of the body to deliver to the family, who live in Santa Inês, in the interior of Maranhão. The information we have is that Devandro was the victim of a car accident days before Luise's death. The exchange of bodies was only discovered because his family went to the IML.
Devandro's body was exhumed on the 16th. Luise's remains in the cold chamber of the Legal Medical Institute. According to the lawyer Silas Pazzini, who defends the family, the IML refused to provide a document confirming the exchange of bodies. “The biggest difficulty we have at the moment is documentation. It is necessary that a correction be made in Luise's Death Certificate, to include the new burial place. The real place, because Luise was not buried, another body was buried”, explained the delegate. To be able to take the body to Brasília, the family will have to go to court. The Human Rights Commission of the Brazilian Bar Association in Maranhão (OAB-MA) is already on the case.
Dona Sônia just wants to take her daughter to be buried in the city where she was born and rest her heart.
“I don't want to know who is guilty, I want to solve my problem, take Luise to a dignified burial, that every human being has that right”, declared the young woman's mother.

Renato was shot. He was a member of Colectivo Trans Trébol.
Renato Estrada, a 43-year-old trans man and member of Colectivo El Trébol, was killed yesterday, September 6. He was attacked in a bar located in Colonia Landívar. His murder is in addition to those of 19 other LGBTIQ+ people that occurred during 2022.
Ilse Contreras, president of the El Trébol Collective, said they do not know the motive for the murder, as Renato had no problems with anyone. "He was very helpful and friendly, he didn't look for problems," he explained. The police are investigating the facts, and will keep the family informed.
According to Contreras, the murder of his partner was a hate crime. "He had told us that he knew a lot of people who had a phobia of trans men. The reason is that: the rejection of us and our identity," he said.
Renato's murder is not the first of its kind. On July 2, Nancy Sacul Tut, a trans woman and also a member of Colectivo El Trébol, was wounded at 9:30 p.m. with a firearm. "The hate crimes, rejection and repudiation of our identities continue," Contreras said.
The National Observatory of LGBTIQ+ Human Rights reported that, during the first 7 days of September, 2 violent deaths were registered against LGBTIQ+ people. So far in 2022, another 18 have been killed.

Suicide
Ingram died by suicide on the night of 4th/5th September. He was a young trans man who had faced discrimination as he tried to get through university.
Ingram was kind and caring. He did his best to understand other's pain and help them. I went to multiple protests and marches with him. Where he stood in support of causes that sometimes didn't even affect him directly. He was always gentle and, as someone at his funeral said, I couldn't imagine anyone ever saying something bad about him. He loved animals and was a great dog parent. He also believed that if he put good into the world and always tried to minimise harm, he would go to heaven. I don't know about heaven or what happens after we die. But he definitely put good into the world. I feel immensely privileged to have known such a wonderful man, and to have him call me friend. He will be forever missed by everyone he knew.

Malte C.
Age 252 Sep 2022
Münster, North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany)
Beaten
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/02-Sep-2022/Malte C.
Malte died several days after being beaten when he came to the aid of two women who were being harassed by a man at the Münster Christopher Street Day Pride festival.
A suspect has been arrested.
A community in Germany is mourning the death of a 25-year-old transgender man who died today after being attacked and seriously injured at the closing event as part of Christopher Street Day or LGBTQ+ Pride in Münster in northwest Germany several days ago.
Residents of the progressive university city and political leaders are expressing disbelief and shock over the act of violence. The man was identified only by his first name, Malte.
As recently as Tuesday, the TransInter-Münster Association, to which Malte belonged, had announced that he remained in critical condition after being assaulted at the city's Pride celebration. On Friday, German police announced an arrest in the case, according to television station WDR.
Thousands gathered in the town's marketplace today to remember the young man many call a hero. "The hostilities are increasing again," said TransInter-Münster association president Felix Adrian Schäper. He added that attacks against LGBTQ+ people are rising because more queer people live openly, radio station Antenne Münster reported.
The Christopher Street Day Münster association, which organizes Münster's LGBTQ+ Pride celebrations, released a statement following the attack. CSD Münster says Malte was attacked shortly after 8 p.m. on Saturday. According to witnesses, the assailant insulted several women at the festival, calling them "lesbian whores" and telling them to "piss off."
Malte, police say, noticed the situation and asked the troublemaker to quit insulting people. Suddenly, the attacker punched Malte in the face, making him unsteady on his feet. Then, the person punched Malte in the face a second time, causing him to lose consciousness and hit the ground in an unprotected fall, hitting his head on the asphalt.
The suspect then fled on foot with along with another person. Eyewitnesses described the suspect as a man between 18 and 20 years old, five foot six to five foot nine inches tall, with a slim frame. He was wearing flared jeans, a t-shirt, and a bucket hat.
German police had launched a large-scale investigation and asked for the public to contact authorities with tips. Late on Friday word came that police arrested a 20-year-old suspect at the city's central train station. According to press reports, a German police official recognized the offender on closed circuit television. No further details about the suspect were released, in accordance with German privacy laws.
Supporters and mourners rallied in the central market square of the town on Friday evening. What was supposed to be a rally to draw attention to the attack instead became a rallying cry in the name of Malte.
In a call to action, CSD Münster took to Instagram. "As a community, we stand together against queer hostility, any form of bigotry and violence," the organization wrote. "Let's strengthen each other and always defend each other! But on Friday, it should be about taking our emotions to the public. How that affects us as people, and how our everyday life is changed by something like this.
"It's already well known that after the CSD festival, a young transman was knocked unconscious because he tried stopping anti-queer remarks from being made," the series of images comprising the statement read.
"The idea that someone from our community has to endure such violence near our safe spaces makes us sad and angry. We want to express these emotions in a rally on Friday at 6 p.m. in front of Prinzipalmarkt." It concluded, "Bring banners and posters."
The event featured musical contributions and speeches and an open mic opportunity for people to share their emotions and feelings.
Football fans in Bremen expressed their sorrow over Malte's death:
In the wake of a violent attack at a Münster pride event, the soccer community is adding their voices to the calls for action against homophobic and transphobic hate crimes in western Germany.
Flanked by gay and trans pride flags, supporters groups and ultras of the Bundesliga team SV Werder Bremen — reportedly among them Caillera, Infamous Youth, and Endeavour 3000 — held up tifos during Friday’s match against FC Augsburg with messages including:
“Queerphobia kills!” (“Queerfeindlichkeit tötet!)
“Against all transphobia!” (“Gegen jede Transfeindlichkeit!”)
“Rest in peace Malte”

Carina Guzman
Age 4031 Aug 2022
General Güemes, Salta (Argentina)
Beaten
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/31-Aug-2022/Carina Guzmán
Carina's body was found in her home on Wednesday 31st August.
The body of Carina, who was about 40 years old, was found at mid-morning yesterday, Tuesday, in the little house where she lived, at the back of her mother's house, in Villa Tranquila, a working-class neighborhood in that city that crosses National Route 34.
Although it was not officially confirmed that she had been murdered, the Public Prosecutor's Office of Salta reported last night that "there are people delayed in relation to the act." The body was brought yesterday to the city of Salta, for an autopsy to be performed.
According to the story of people who knew Carina, she had been born into a family with serious problems of alcohol addiction, and she herself suffered from this addiction. At the age of 15, she went to the clubs, where she met many of the people who yesterday said goodbye to her, highlighting her gift from her to her people from her.
She had worked as a [sex worker] for at least 15 years, like the vast majority of trans people in the towns of Salta. She used to stop at a gas station, and they knew and loved her there too.
"For me she was always an excellent person, beyond the fact that she had problems with alcohol. She led a very suffering life, because of the same discrimination, because of the homophobes," said the neighbor. She said that just two weeks ago, after not meeting for a long time due to the pandemic, she saw her in a bowling alley.
Later he saw her again at the exit of the city, where there is a window cleaning stop, he saw her in a group of people who are recognized for their addiction to alcohol. Ella Carina approached him, told him that she had not eaten anything that day and asked him for money to buy food.
"She did not deserve that death, because she was not a girl who messed with anyone. Her death has moved me as well as several friends who know her, because she was not a problematic girl," the neighbor insisted.
This person also told a version that other people who knew Guzmán recounted: three or four days ago he had an altercation with another woman in the place known as El Gauchito Gil and received a blow to the head. The neighbor added that Carina's family is so humble that a friend created a WhatsApp group yesterday with the aim of helping with the funeral expenses once the authorities return the body.
In the conversation with Salta/12, Carina's neighbor had moments of tears, and anticipated her mistrust of the judicial system. "From the depths of my heart, I know that her case will come to nothing, because it is very difficult, she is a humble person. That is why, when all this happens, I will take care of knowing who they were and of ask for justice, so that this case does not go unpunished, because Carina did not deserve this," he said. "She never had a family to protect her," she lamented.
Several people who spoke with this medium expressed their concern about the place where the incident in which Carina received a blow occurred. They said that before the pandemic it worked as a cabaret, that there were complaints for various reasons, including the presence "of 15, 16-year-old girls, drinking, surrounded by drunks," that it was closed at the time and that it is supposedly still closed now, but "people know that after a certain time the bell rings and there is a cabaret".
The body of Carina Guzmán was found around 9:30 a.m. on August 31 at an address on Calle Rioja at 800 Villa Tranquila, in the city of General Güemes, more than 50 kilometers south of the city of Salta.
Four men and one woman were subsequently charged with homicide.
Four men and one woman were charged with the death of Carina Guzmán, a trans woman who was found dead last Wednesday, August 31, in Güemes. The defendants, who are detained, gave a statement and the prosecution requested that the deprivation of liberty be sustained.
Criminal Prosecutor 1 of the Serious Attacks Against Persons Unit, Leandro Flores, provisionally charged four men and one woman as co-authors of the crime of simple homicide against Carina Guzmán.
The defendants had allegedly been together in the house of the deceased and, in circumstances that are under investigation, had physically assaulted her, causing her death.

Mya died from gunshot wounds. Before she died she was able to tell police where she met her killer and what kind of vehicle he drives.
Clayton Hubbird, 31, has been charged with reckless homicide and is being sought by police.
MILWAUKEE - Regina Allen, 35, of Milwaukee, known by friends as Mya, was fatally shot Aug. 29 near 26th and Wells. Police are looking for the man they say killed the transgender woman.
A friend described Allen as full of laughter and joy. Through Facebook, Allen's friend said she will be missed, and loved ones can't believe this happened. A growing memorial sits at 26th and Wells as police search for her killer. Police say that man is Clayton Hubbird, 31.
On Aug. 29, according to prosecutors, Hubbird went into a gas station off 19th and National. Surveillance video shows Hubbird and Allen had a brief conversation inside before Hubbird got back into his Chevy Tahoe. Eventually, according to police, Allen hopped into the passenger's seat.
Things took a turn when Hubbird and Allen reached her apartment near 26th and Wells. A witness told police he saw a black SUV and two people arguing, heard a gunshot and Allen screamed, "I'm shot."
Allen called 911. Police say before Allen died, she told an officer she met the man who shot her at a gas station, and he drove a Chevy Tahoe. A criminal complaint says security video from the gas station, a witness and police checking the Tahoe's license plate linked Hubbird to the crime.
The SUV was found in Wauwatosa Aug. 30. Prosecutors say someone at the home where it was found identified it as Hubbird's vehicle. A search of Hubbird's bedroom revealed ammunition and firearm magazines. Allen's friend said she would've celebrated her 36th birthday on Sept. 20.
Hubbird was subsequently arrested and charged with first degree reckless homicide. In July 2024 he was sentenced to 23 years in prison.

Dede was found dead by authorities with gunshot wounds to her back and chest just before 3:40 a.m. Saturday in the 2530 block of Manistique Street in Detroit, Michigan.
Deontae Antoine Close, 31, of Detroit, was charged with second-degree murder and felony firearm in connection with her murder.
(WXYZ) — A 31-year-old Detroit man has been charged in connection with the fatal shooting of a 33-year-old transgender woman from Ohio.
Dede Ricks was found unresponsive with gunshot wounds to her right back and left chest at around 3:40 a.m. on August 21 in the 2530 block of Manistique. Police were called to the scene and medics pronounced Ricks dead at the scene.
“This is beyond concerning that this is the second trans murder in less than two weeks. The cases do not appear to be related. However, we have seen this happen before and hope that this does not become a pattern. While some protections for transgender citizens in Michigan are finally beginning to be recognized, their lives are still very much in danger,” said Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy.
Deontae Close was arrested later in the day following a police investigation. He is accused of shooting Ricks and has been charged with one count of Second Degree Murder and one count of Felony Firearm.
Close has been arraigned and given a $500,000 bond. He is due back in court on September 13.

Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/21-Aug-2022/Acey Morrison
Acey was found dead in a mobile home after the owner of the residence reported the murder to police. A suspect has been identified.
Acey D. Morrison, a 30-year-old Two-Spirit person, was killed in Rapid City, South Dakota on August 21. She is at least the 29th trans or gender-nonconforming American to become a victim of fatal violence this year, per the records of the Human Rights Campaign.
As the delayed reporting of Morrison’s death indicates, that figure is likely an undercount; as is the case with too many trans people, reports of Morrison’s death did not make national news because she was misgendered in initial reports.
Law enforcement found Morrison dead in a mobile home, after the owner of the residence reported the murder to police, according to local outlets KNBN and KELO. Officials identified a suspect shortly after the shooting and began interviews. It’s unclear whether or not charges have been pressed, despite the fact that the killing occurred nearly a month ago.
A heartfelt tribute to Morrison in the local outlet Native Sun News describes her as a “kindhearted, down to earth, joyous, respectful, and loving soul” who was “always there for her family and friends. Acey always put a smile on others and had those around her laughing and happy,” the obituary reads. “She always had her natural ways in being there for those she loved. She used laughter as medicine and chose self-love to heal wounds. She was the one to open her home up to you, give you her lasts, then inspire you to keep going.”
The obituary, which referred to Morrison as “our two-spirit relative,” further characterizes her as “authentic, and unapologetic,” and as someone “who strived to succeed.”
In February 2024 Gregory Landers, 53, was charged with first-degree manslaughter in connection with Acey's death. in November 2024 he pleaded guilty.

Bogotá, Distrito Capital (Colombia)
Not reported
Diana died in hospital after being hospitalised for 2 months. She was an activist and political leader who made no apologies for being a sex worker.
This Monday morning, the death of Diana Navarro, a trans activist, was confirmed. Her tireless fight for the rights of the LGBTTIQ + community made her an icon for this population in the country and for women who are engaged in sex work in Colombia, whom she also represented. Her death has generated multiple reactions, including those of the president, Gustavo Petro, and the mayor of Bogotá, Claudia López. Her existence did not go unnoticed, her name will remain marked in history as one of the main links in a cause that still supports thousands of people around the world.
“The death of Diana Navarro, a wonderful leader of the trans community, builder of Bogotá's LGBTI public policy and of the national inclusion and equality policy, deeply hurts me. My hugs to her family and her community. We will honor her struggles and legacy, ”said the local president of the country's capital. “Diana, who was part of the first national leadership of the Polo Democrático and helped in the efforts of Bogotá Humana in the fight for equality, has died. RIP” , added Gustavo Petro.

She was part of the first national leadership of the Polo Democrático and, as she herself told it, she paid for her university studies with the money that her work in prostitution left her. She was a member of the NGO Conspira and the Bogotá LGBT Roundtable. As she recounted, she repeatedly arrived in the Santa Fe neighborhood of Bogotá when she was barely 14 years old. Diana, she never changed the name and sex that appeared on her identification documents, so her identity card it remained in the name of [deadname] Navarro San Juan.
“I have a political position on that. Regardless of the name and gender that appears, the Colombian State must guarantee the exercise of my rights for what I am. A document does not make me. I am Diana Navarro, black, queer and whore, no more , ”she commented in a chat with the Colombian portal. Although she always knew that she was a woman, it was not until she was 14 years old that she began to express her femininity from different aspects of her life, including the clothes she began to wear. She was raised by her aunt and her grandmother.
She arrived in Bogotá in December 1987, according to what he told Mar de Leva Producciones. “I left Barranquilla to be able to be me. So that no one would coerce my desire to be myself. They didn't kick me out of my house, I decided it”, she recalled in that same conversation. She came to work in a hairdressing salon, however, some time later she left there, according to her, due to envy against her. After that, it was when her first proposals to engage in sex work came into her life. “Like all Colombian workers, she rents out her body from time to time,” she said about [sex work].
Some time later, and after the death of her partner, whom she met working as a [sex worker], she left for Medellín and enrolled in university. Although she did not sign up to study law, she said, her life led her to that profession. "I was the first travesti to start professional studies in Colombia, as a travesti," she recounted in the audiovisual special that Mar de Leva made for her. After receiving death threats in the capital of the department of Antioquia and being the victim of an attack, she decided to return to Bogotá to start the fight that she carried out until the last day of her life.
Already in the Colombian capital, in 2008, she was appointed by sex workers as their representative. According to her, she was not afraid to confront authority to defend her rights and those of her colleagues. “I am capable of taking on a local mayor,” she stressed. From there the Girasol group was born, to later create the corporation Option: for the right to be and the duty to do. “There we only worked whores and queers” , she detailed.
Thanks to her work, it was possible for that sector of Bogotá, the Santa Fe neighborhood, from 19th Street on the north side; to calle 24 on the south side and from Avenida Caracas on the western side to Carrera 17 on the eastern side, to be declared a high-impact zone, which allowed its use for [sex work] to become authorized.

Victoria Alejandra Ironici
Age 4321 Aug 2022
Santa Fe (Argentina)
Stabbed and burned
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/21-Aug-2022/Victoria Alejandra Ironici
Alejandra was killed in her home by her partner, Héctor Barrero. In March 2024 Barrero was convicted of aggravated transfemicide and sexual abuse, and sentenced to life imprisonment.
SANTA FE CITY, Santa Fe. The Santa Fe trans figure, Alejandra Ironici, was murdered in her home – Public Passage 8133 -, in the northwest of the city. She was 43 years old and was the coordinator of the Movement for Social, Ethnic and Religious Integration (MISER) Santa Fe. Alejandra was the promoter of important advances in human rights for the trans community and was the first to receive her DNI with the registration change, as well as to access a teaching position in the State of Santa Fe, among other actions.
This Sunday, August 21, around 11 pm, Alejandra's nephew - who lives in the same house - returned from work, and when he entered there was a fire in the bedroom. Upon entering, according to what he stated to the Police, he found his aunt with signs of burns and in a pool of blood. He immediately called 911. When the police arrived at the scene, they confirmed that the victim was already dead. They began the operation to preserve the scene of the incident and asked for experts and a health unit to attend (which never arrived).
After a check of the house, the young man alerted the Police that his aunt's car, a GRAY FIAT PALIO, was not in the garage. Alejandra's current partner, with whom she had had a relationship for about five months, was also missing. This morning, they found Alejandra's car in Padre Dusso at 7200 in the city of Santa Fe. A person was also arrested at the same location. The detainee is a 32-year-old man, whose initials are DHB and was Alejandra's current partner, and the arrest occurred in a house in front of which the victim's car was found.
The case is being investigated by the Santa Fe Femicide Brigade, in charge of the prosecutor Alejandra Del Río Ayala. In the next few hours, he will request the Office of Judicial Management to set the day and time for the impeachment hearing of the detainee.
In March 2018, after two transfemicides perpetrated in the capital of Santa Fe and the area - that of Adriana Cuqui Bonetto and that of Sol - it was Alejadra Ironici who explained to Presentes: "Most trans women in the city and its surroundings live alone and in peripheral areas, which deepens their situation of vulnerability.”
Victoria Alejandra Ironici had many titles. Her life was one of struggle and, above all, achievement. She was the first trans woman to get a DNI that respects her identity, even before the law guaranteed that right for everyone. If all the actions in which she was a pioneer began to be enumerated, the list would include all the claims achieved by the Santa Fe transvestite collective.
Her story of struggle begins at the age of 18, when she was kicked out of her house for being trans. She came from Vera to Santa Fe capital to find more opportunities. In 2007, after losing a job, she began the administrative process for the province of Santa Fe to recognize her identity. In 2010, two months before the Gender Identity Law was sanctioned, a ceremony was held at Government House. The then Governor Antonio Bonfatti gave her her corrected birth certificate and DNI.
Last year, Alejandra and Lucy Gimenez became the first trans teachers to agree to substitute classes in secondary schools in the city. “It is the fundamental door of what we have been fighting for: the educational system had to be with us. In that process we had been working with Lucy to break that social prejudice. Today we have to do it from within the schools, already as teachers, ”she said on that occasion.
Alejandra was a teacher, activist and a pioneer among the Santa Fe LGBT+ community.

“My new life begins. I will go out with my head held high, proud of who I am . Without having to hide, because I did not commit any crime. All I did was choose a different life. That meant that I was denied a lot of rights , ”she said that day when she began to be Victoria Alejandra Ironici. "I wanted Selenia as a third name but she will have to stay as my stage name," she joked.
That day she also told his next goals: to get a job and have a vaginoplasty. She met both goals and continued to break new ground. In 2013, she was the first trans woman to undergo the surgical procedure through the social work of the province and in a hospital in Buenos Aires.
Alejandra was a great promoter of the trans quota at different levels of the State and national organizations. She was studying law at the Universidad Nacional del Litoral , and she was one of the promoters of the quota in that house of higher studies.
On May 31, in an interview with Presentes for a report on the quota in Argentine universities, she said: “On a social and cultural level, it positions us differently. Society is going to see that we want to go for more acceptance and inclusion and that the UNL gives its support, through a resolution that is the product of our project and of the national law”. That path had already been traveled with the struggle in the province and in the provincial capital.
Last year, Alejandra and Lucy Gimenez became the first trans teachers to agree to substitute classes in secondary schools in the city . “It is the fundamental door of what we have been fighting for: the educational system had to be with us. In that process we had been working with Lucy to break that social prejudice. Today we have to do it from within the schools, already as teachers, ”she said on that occasion.
Ale was a pioneer. She opened paths for her and for those who come after her. Every day of her life de ella was a struggle to break the 40-year life expectancy that the group has. However, she could not and today her name de ella is in the headline of that news from which she did everything to escape.
In April 2023 a memorial walk dedicated to Alejandra was inaugerated in Santa Fe:
The "Victoria Alejandra Ironici" Diversity Walk will be inaugurated tomorrow in the downtown area of the city of Santa Fe in homage to the leader of the LGBTIQ+ collective who was a victim of transfemicide in August last year.
The walk, located in Pedro Víttori and Chacabuco, will be inaugurated from 6:00 p.m. with a performance of the trans Varieté by Shendell, Rubi Anderson, Yazmin Anderson, Campi Show and Juanma Benítez; in addition to live music with Vomitan Glitter, and closed by DJ Set Cassandra.
Alejandra Ironici was born in the city of Tostado in 1976 and is remembered for being the first person in the country to change her identity in the DNI, in 2012, and undergo sex reassignment surgery.
She was also one of the initiators of the fight for the rights of the trans collective of Santa Fe, had a stint at the Undersecretary of Sexual Diversity of the province and worked at the Iturraspe and Sayago hospitals, both in the capital of Santa Fe.

Sofía Vera
Age 4712 Aug 2022
General Roca (Argentina)
Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/12-Aug-2022/Sofía Vera
Sofía was shot dead and her partner injured in an attack on their home.
A Chevrolet Corsa stopped at the door of the house, Sofia Vera went out the door with her partner and a burst of several shots ended her life. The man had to be hospitalized in a serious condition in hospital and the attackers quickly fled. Furthermore, a woman took away a 6-year-old boy in a taxi, who after several hours was reintegrated with his family after they managed to stop her.
The facts are confusing whichever way you look at it and at this moment Roca's prosecutor on duty, Ricardo Romero, is trying to decode the data he has. At the moment a woman is in custody and her partner is being intensely sought as a possible perpetrator of the crime.
The night was intense for the Roca police. The drug war has been unleashed for a long time and it seems that there is nothing to put an end to the multiplication of dealers, the arrival of foreign criminals to continue to be linked to that business and all the crimes that go hand in hand with the sale of drugs. Some are encouraged to compare the present of the neighborhoods with what is happening in Rosario, a city in which crimes related to the sale of drugs have grown exponentially in recent years and have ramifications in all strata of power.
It all started shortly before 10 pm on Friday, at the door of a house on calle Jachal at 1600 in the El Porvenir neighborhood, an intermediate sector between Roca and JJ Gómez. Sofia, a [trans woman] known to her neighbors, fell to the floor with several gunshot wounds. Her 42-year-old partner had to be rushed to the local hospital after also being shot in the body.
Investigative procedures took place throughout the night in the neighborhoods of the city, until several hours later they managed to locate a woman, who was detained by order of the prosecution after taking away a six year-old minor away in a taxi. This woman is the partner of a very dangerous criminal, with a record of participation in crimes and drug trafficking.

Rodrigo Ventocilla Ventosilla
Age 3211 Aug 2022
Denpasar, Bali (Indonesia)
Died in custody
Rodrigo died in Indonesian police custody after being detained when he and his spouse arrived for their honeymoon in Bali.
When his spouse tried to determine what had happened to Rodrigo, he was also detained.
A transgender Harvard graduate student was pronounced dead in police custody at a hospital in Indonesia this month, five days after he was arrested and allegedly mistreated by police, the Harvard Crimson reported Tuesday.
Rodrigo Ventocilla, 32, was a Harvard Kennedy School student from Peru and was known as a prominent trans rights activist. The Crimson reported that Ventocilla had traveled to Bali for his honeymoon with his spouse and was detained by police for alleged drug possession as soon as he arrived on Aug. 6.
“His family alleges he was arrested in an ‘act of racial discrimination and transphobia,’ deprived of basic rights, and subjected to police violence while family members and lawyers were kept in the dark about his condition,” the newspaper wrote.
The Crimson reported that a Bali newspaper wrote that police in Bali are looking into Ventocilla’s death, but that the focus of the inquiry is vague and it’s unclear whether the findings of the investigation will be released to the public. The Crimson also reported that the head of public relations for Bali police previously told a different Indonesian news outlet that Ventocilla died after consuming unseized drugs on Aug. 8 while in police custody. Ventocilla died Aug. 11.
In their statement, the Crimson reported, Ventocilla’s family doubts the explanation of Bali police, saying that they have not allowed an independent autopsy.
According to the Crimson, Bali police say Ventocilla was arrested after authorities found an herb grinder, items they suspected contained cannabis, and two pill tablets in his luggage. But in their statement, the Crimson reported, Ventocilla’s family said he was arrested for having prescription drugs he used as mental health treatment. The Crimson wrote that one Indonesia news outlet reported that Ventocilla was initially brought to a hospital because he was suffering from stomach pain and vomiting, but that he was later transferred to a different hospital when his condition worsened.
But in their statement, the Crimson reported, Ventocilla’s family alleges that Indonesian police kept lawyers hired by the family and other Harvard students from ever entering the hospitals. Ventocilla’s family alleges that his spouse, Sebastían Marallano, arrived on a separate flight than Ventocilla, but was detained without charge after trying to help Ventocilla, the Crimson reported.
The family alleges that Marallano was also hospitalized after being in police custody, and that police demanded upwards of $200,000 for the return of the couple, the Crimson reported. In a statement, the Crimson reported, the families of Ventocilla and Marallano demanded the “Peruvian justice system to properly investigate the human rights violations of Rodrigo and Sebastian and to guarantee truth, justice and reparation.”

Kimbella died in police custody at Harrison County Adult Detention Center. A video shows her being tasered by corrections officers despite her struggling to breathe.
Kimbella Kimble, a Black trans woman just 21 years of age, died in police custody in the Harrison County Adult Detention Center approximately 24 hours after being placed in solitary confinement. A video of the incident posted to social media shows Kimbella being tased by corrections officers, while saying “I can’t breathe.” Transgender people are disproportionately likely to be incarcerated, and once there, they face much higher levels of mistreatment and violence - including a higher likelihood of being placed in solitary confinement. HRC extends its deepest condolences to Kimbella’s friends and family.

Camila died in hospital after being stabbed and burned alive.
Santiago de Chile, Aug 3 (EFE) - This Wednesday Movimiento de Integración y Liberación Homosexual (Movilh), the main LGBTI community organisation in Chile, denounced the murder of Nacha Palma, a young transgender woman who was allegedly stabbed and burned alive in Valparaiso.
According to Movilh, the 26-year-old woman was attacked in the streets of this coastal city, 100 kilometers from Santiago. She was found alive by firefighters who took her to a hospital where she died minutes later due to burns that covered her entire body.
“Together with her family, we are collecting all the information necessary to deal with this brutal attack that shakes us as people and as activists. So far the information is preliminary, but the truth is that third parties intervened in the death," said Ramón Gómez, the person in charge of human rights at Movilh.
Palma was stabbed and burned by a group of subjects, detailed the organization, which is defining what legal actions to file for this hate crime.
María López, the president of the Corporación Corporación Trans Féminas Diversas en Acción, also condemned the death of the young woman: "We demand preventive measures from the Valparaíso authorities against abuse and attacks. For now, we will concentrate on guiding the family".
In September 2023 José Fereira Iguarán was sentended to 20 years in prison for Camila's murder.

Marisela was shot in the back after she got out of a car. Her killer then got back into the car and drove away.
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Police are searching for two people who were with a transgender woman when she was shot and killed in an east Houston neighborhood overnight -- including the gunman.
The shooting happened very quickly, in just 10 seconds, according to Houston police detectives.
The victim was shot in the back in the middle of Wood Shadows Drive near the East Freeway around 1:45 a.m. Friday, police said.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives said the victim was driving her car -- a four-door maroon Chrysler 200 -- with two other people also inside.
Police said the woman stopped the car on Centerwood Drive at Wood Shadows Drive, and she and a man got out.
That's when the suspect fired one shot from behind before getting back in the car and taking off, according to HPD.
"Our victim stepped out of the vehicle, was driving another person - it's hard to say - they were dressed in black, possibly a male," Det. Sgt. Thomas Simmons said. "They got out of the backseat. There was one gunshot fired. The victim fell. The suspect returned to the back of the vehicle. The vehicle left."
Police said the two suspects abandoned the victim's car two blocks away on a dead-end street.
Investigators believe the shooting has no connection to the surrounding homes in the neighborhood.
They're reviewing surveillance video, hoping to get a better look at exactly what happened.
The victim's car was towed away from the scene and is being processed.
Marisela Castro, 39, was born in Juticalpa, Olancho in Honduras. She spent most of her life in North Carolina where she attended Riverside High School, moved to Houston several years ago to be close to her sister and her nieces and nephews, She was a supporter of St. Jude’s Hospital and a fan of Bad Bunny. Marisela worked in the construction trades.
Friends shared the she often sang songs by the Mexican American artist “Marisela,” her namesake. She kept up a bright and sunny demeanor despite the discrimination she faced.
Her friend Jorge Luis Lizardo knows the violence she faced and that it may have cost her life.
She had no enemies, according to Lizardo, who suspects that her death was the result of another senseless hate crime.
“She was always so happy, but you know that all across the U.S. there are many that don’t like transgender people, and this is not the first time this has happened,” he said.
Marisela is the 4th trans woman in Houston murdered since December including Martina Caldera and Za’Niyah Williams in December and Paloma Velasquz in February.
In May 2024 Oscar Ariel Sierra, 19, pleaded guilty to Marisela's murder.
Houston - A 19-year-old Oscar Ariel Sierra will spend life behind bars after pleading guilty to the murder of a 39-year-old transgender woman in east Houston back in 2022. The decision came during Sierra's trial, which had commenced with jury selection and initial testimony.
Sierra's guilty plea followed the unfolding of events where he had arranged to meet Marisela Castro online, purportedly with intentions of robbery. Surveillance footage unveiled the chilling act wherein Sierra, armed with a firearm, fatally shot Castro in the back of the head after they had parked on a dimly lit street near Herman Brown Park.
Following the murder, authorities say Sierra fled the scene in Castro's vehicle, leaving her belongings behind.
Sierra, who was a minor at the time of the crime, faced the possibility of parole after 40 years if convicted of capital murder. However, by opting for a guilty plea to murder, he will be eligible for parole after 30 years, with no avenue for appeal.

Deysianne died in hospital after being stabbed. At the time she was killed she was trying to escape an abusive relationship and was about to resume her education.
The woman stabbed to death, whose body was found in Largo do Tanque, in São Caetano, on Tuesday (26), lived under constant threats and domestic violence from her partner. Deysianne França was a trans woman, assisted by the Center for the Promotion and Defense of LGBTQIA+ Rights in the State of Bahia (CPDD), who wanted to separate from her partner, with whom she lived in the Lobato neighborhood in Salvador, according to reports.
The victim's uncle says he witnessed a scene of jealousy from his niece's partner at his own father's wake. "He kept her in the house, prevented her from studying, and she always called me saying she was tired and wanted to finish. When her father died, he had a jealousy crisis at the funeral, took her to the back of the cemetery and started to beat her", reports Ednaldo dos Anjos.
"I believe he was the one who carried out this murder, motivated by the fact that she wanted to leave the house, not wanting to live together anymore", he says. The investigation of the crime is still ongoing by the police.
At age 30, Deysianne intended to finish high school and attend college. However, she had difficulty in contacting her family, since her partner did not allow it.
At CPDD, he told about his dreams and desires. "She always said she wanted a formal job, and had dreams, like any other person. She was very vain, and had a dream of having her own house", says Renildo Barbosa, coordinator of the center.

Axel Ademuyiwa
Age 1723 Jul 2022
Croydon, Surrey (United Kingdom)
Possible suicide
Axel appears to have died by suicide.
His death is one of what is thought to have been at least 90 in the UK alone linked to "suicide kits" supplied by Kenneth Law, 57. Law is due to go on trial in Ontario (Canada) in September 2025 on 14 first-degree murder charges and 14 charges or abetting suicide.
The death of a trans child who ingested a lethal substance bought online will be investigated by a coroner in South London. Axel Ademuyiwa was just 17-years-old when he took his own life using the deadly chemical on July 23, 2022.
Axel's parents continue to refer to him by his birth name, but the death is expected to be registered with his chosen name.
The substance - which MyLondon has chosen not to name - is one the National Crime Agency has linked to 272 packages and at least 90 deaths in the UK through 57-year-old Canadian 'poison killer' Kenneth Law, BBC News reports. Mr Law, from Toronto, is set to go on trial for 14 first-degree murder charges and 14 charges of aiding and abetting suicide at a court in Ontario in September 2025.
At Croydon Coroners Court on Wednesday, August 28, a lawyer acting for the NHS mentioned Mr Law by name in the context of the child's death, and said 'there may be an issue with the police' due to the ongoing prosecution. Mr Law's was referred to several times during the hearing, but he was not explicitly confirmed as the chemical seller.
Canadian detectives say Mr Law ran a number of websites offering equipment and substances to help people end their lives. Police believe he may have sent more than 1,200 parcels containing lethal substances to around 40 countries. In February, Mr Law's lawyer, Matthew Gourlay, told BBC News his client intends to plead not guilty to the 28 charges against him.

Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/20-Jul-2022/Keshia Chanel Geter
Keshia was found in a hotel with a fatal gunshot wound on the night of Wednesday 20th July.
Jaquarie Allen, 22, has been charged with murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
Officers were called to the Augusta hotel for a possible homicide on Wednesday July 20, 2022 for a possible homicide. Officers arrived at the Knights Inn in Augusta, GA around 10:28am to find 26 year old Keshia Chanel Geter of Eastover S.C. who identified as a Black trans woman.
Investigators say that she was traveling with a friend and was found with at least one fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead by the coroner’s office at 11am.
Sadly due to multiple local media outlets misgendering, deadmaming her and posting male pictures although she presented as female. Sadly these action usually cause us to miss these murders which is why we say at least because many go under the radar.
Keshia is at least the 21st murder of a trans person according to HRC website following the murder of Kitty Monroe of Chicago Illinois.
She is at least the 14th Black trans woman this year.
She is at least the second Black trans woman murdered in the area following the murder of Felycya Harris in Meadowbrook Park, GA on October 3, 2020.
It’s believed that she and the female friend traveled together often but that’s really all we got from investigators and have no clue if the friend is CIS or Trans. They also noted that the region has been dealing with an outbreak of fatal shootings and suspicious deaths since April and the sheriff vowed “decisive” action including gang crackdowns, roadblock checkpoints and use of high-tech surveillance cameras in targeted areas.

Not reported
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/20-Jul-2022/Sasha Barrionuevo
Sasha died in hospital after prison officials refused her requests for medical care.
Before she died she had rapidly lost 30kg in weight and was suffering froms of vision, vomiting, dizziness, episodes of very low blood pressure and fatigue.
Sasha Barrionuevo was 38 years old, had 13 siblings and 35 nephews. As with many trans women, she found no other source of income than prostitution. For a long time she had to deal with police abuse on the streets of Mar del Plata. She spent the last year and a half of her life, imprisoned. She suffered and reported beatings. Her body gave multiple warning signs, but she was accused of making it up. She died in hospital, almost simultaneously with the signing of her release. The agony was the key to get out of confinement. To get rid of her, when it was too late.
Sasha passed away on July 20 at the Dr. Oscar Alende Interzonal General Acute Hospital (Higa). She had been transferred there while she was detained in the 44th mayor of the Batán Prison Complex. She had lost more than 30 kilos in the last time, she was losing her vision and she had almost no mobility when they took her on a stretcher to receive extramural care. The Provincial Commission for Memory (CPM), which had been monitoring her situation, demands that the causes of her death and the incidence of lack of access to health care be investigated.
“She told me that she felt very sick. She abruptly lost 35 kilos. She was vomiting, she had vision loss, she was disoriented. But she and her companions said that the Penitentiary Service did not believe her . Due to an underlying illness that she had, her immune system was compromised. She should have had tests done to rule out meningitis, tuberculosis, everything. Why didn't they take her to the hospital? They let her be. Her death could have been avoided, ”Yésica Gómez, one of Sasha's many nieces, is outraged. They were almost the same age and a very close bond: "We grew up together."

Alex Dews
Age 1318 Jul 2022
Barnsley, South Yorkshire (United Kingdom)
Suicide
Alex was found with serious injuries in a park. He died in hospital four days later.
A coroner said she intends to call for a review of the way mental health referrals are made by schools following the death of a transgender teenager. Alex Dews, 13, from Barnsley, died in hospital on 18 July 2022, four days after he was found seriously injured in a country park.
An inquest heard that before his death he had told staff at his school he wanted to kill himself. Coroner Abigail Combes said there were "issues that need resolving". The resumed inquest in Sheffield heard Alex had expressed the wish to identify as male after starting at Outwood Academy Shafton and he had been placed on the school's vulnerable list. Later that month the coroner said Alex had self harmed at school, but that the incident, which should have triggered a risk assessment, but was not properly logged.
Outwood Academy executive principal Cara Ackroyd told the court this was the type of incident she would "usually" expect to be recorded by staff. Following this, another self-harming incident was disclosed, which resulted in Alex being placed on the waiting list for mental health support iSpace. Then in March 2022, Alex wrote a note to his teacher, expressing thoughts of suicide. As a result, he was bumped up the risk register and iSpace waiting list, and later that month began six weeks of counselling.
The coroner noted that Alex began counselling and, at his second session, disclosed that he had attempted an overdose. She said that he also told the deputy safeguarding lead at the school that he wanted to end his life.
The inquest heard the school did not make a referral to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) due to concerns Alex would be removed from the waiting list as he had already been receiving iSpace support. After the iSpace sessions ended in May 2022, although a handover suggested further engagement might be useful in the future, there was no detail and no follow-up.
The coroner noted that despite there being evidence of a deterioration in Alex's behaviour at school, there were no further incidents of self-harm or expression of suicidal intent and the school could not have assumed "there was a real or immediate threat to Alex's life".
Ms Combes said the school eventually decided to make a referral to CAMHS in June but this was about putting in place support for the next school year rather than an immediate fear for his life.
Recording a narrative conclusion Ms Combes said while she was "satisfied that there are processes in place... there are absolutely identifiable individual failures of following those processes [though] these are not sufficient to amount to systemic failure".
She said she would be writing a prevention of future deaths report to organisations, including the Department of Health and Social Care, about her concerns over the way referrals are made to CAMHS, saying she had been left "slightly horrified" the school was left to make crucial decisions about which services to refer Alex to.

Valis Ortíz
Age 3917 Jul 2022
Cuidad de México (Mexico)
Suicide
Valis was a musician and multi-disciplinary artist. She was found dead on Sunday 17th July.
Mexican musician and multi-disciplinary artist Valiz Ortíz was found dead on Sunday, July 17. She was 39 years old. The news broke on Monday afternoon (July 18) after close friends began sharing condolences messages on social media in an outpour of grief that has highlighted two decades of the artist’s visionary, influential, and extensive body of work.
Hailing from Monterrey, Nuevo León, Ortíz became closely associated with the city’s experimental indie boom of the late 2000s that saw the rise of her band Bam Bam, as well as Selma Oxor, White Ninja, NRMAL, and underground venue El Garage. Ortíz was a prolific singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, an authority in Mexican psych music with detours into ambient and noise, and her work extended far beyond Bam Bam into projects like Ruidos en el Techo, Hypnomango, and XYX. In 2017, she relocated to Mexico City and launched Manitas Nerviosas, a new project melding her psychedelic visions with DIY electronic textures.
Valis Ortíz was a proud trans woman, and Manitas Nerviosas became a canvas for her ongoing metamorphosis. “Tu Carita Toda Hermosa” captured an existential shift for the artist where she shed the pseudonym “Mou,” by which fans and colleagues had known her for many years. She later legally changed her name to Valis (Vast Active Living Intelligence System), inspired by Philip K. Dick’s 1981 novel of the same name. She frequently collaborated with fellow trans artists such as Alda Arita, Luisa Almaguer, and Sofia Moreno; the latter a co-director on her music video for “Pármenux” from her buoyant final album A Love Supermeme. She was also an outspoken critic of TERFs (Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists), a stance she immortalized with devilish gusto on “Terfs R’ Nazis”.
Beyond her own musical work, Ortíz was an active part of labels such as Nene Records and Oris Label. She was also an architect and talented illustrator, releasing numerous zines and with much of her visual work still available on Tumblr. Humor, criticism, and raw honesty intersected across her work, making this an immeasurable loss for Mexican experimental music and underground art.
Valis' Twitter and Instagram profiles are https://twitter.com/lovesupermeme and https://www.instagram.com/manitasnerviosas.
She also had a Bandcamp page at https://manitasnerviosas.bandcamp.com.

Betul: A young man killed his trans friend and hanged himself in Betul. Police say that there was an illicit relationship between the two. The young man first killed the friend, then gave his own life fearing that if the secret of their physical relationship came out, it will lead to a scandal, reportedDainik Bhaskar.
Sarani SDOP Roshan Jain reportedly said that on the night of July 14, at 2.30 am, he had received a call from someone called Nikki who had complained of assault. When the team called the number again, the number was switched off.
The next day on July 15, a dead body was reported hanging on the noose. It was identified as Hariom Choure. On Monday, the police found another dead body, which was decomposed as it was 2-3 days old. Marks of the same rope were also found on this dead body, with which Hariom hanged himself.
Hariom was a resident of Chhindwara and used to be a watchman in a nursery in Sarani. He became friends with a transgender person named Nikki of Nagpur. The two also had a physically intimate relationship for a long time.
Since Nikki used to have relationships with other boys as well, Hari Om feared exposure and humiliation on his and Nikki's relationship.
Hari Om was afraid that the secret of the relation with Kinnar might be revealed. On the night of July 14, there was an argument between the two in the nursery itself. During this, Nikki hurt herself and dialled 100. Nikki hung up the phone by accusing Hariom of assault.
Angered by this, Hariom strangled Nikki to death with a rope. After this, due to fear of the scandal coming out, he also hanged himself with the same rope.

A 34-year-old trans woman, known as "Lara Croft", was shot dead by a military police officer in the early hours of Wednesday (12), in the Alto Lage neighborhood, in Cariacica , in Greater Vitória.
According to the Military Police, there was a confrontation, but residents of the region deny it. Saleswoman [name redacted], the victim's mother, said she spoke to her daughter for the last time on Tuesday afternoon (11).
"The last time I called her was in the afternoon. She said she was fine and was on the street but couldn't talk because her cell phone could be stolen. When I arrived at the crime scene, the ID and cell phone were not there." said. According to Silvania, the daughter had psychiatric problems aggravated by drug use and has already been hospitalized, including compulsorily, on other occasions.
What they did was cowardice. I don't know who it was but Jesus knows. Justice will be done here on Earth and in the heaven. She was sick and needed help and not violence. She needed psychological care. I even thought about a judge to compulsorily commit her. I have her psychiatrist's reports. They said that drug use was making her schizophrenic. It was supposed to put her in a recovery clinic," she said.
Silvania said that Lara was her only child. Regarding the PM's version, that her daughter had attacked military police officers, Silvania said that she was never aggressive and that there were other ways to contain her .
"She loved me. A wonderful heart. They were strong, there were many. Why didn't they do the same as they did when they went inside my house to commit her? They could have done the same. They went with a shield, a non-lethal weapon. Why didn't they act that way too? Why didn't they contact me? Why didn't they let the judge know? She was in need of help. She didn't need to lose her life”, said the mother.
Residents who talked to the reporters contested the PM's account . According to them, the woman did not attack the police and was executed during their approach.
According to one of the residents, who preferred not to identify himself, he said that Lara used to make jokes with the police when they approached someone in the neighborhood and that the police officers did not like it and had already threatened her .
"The policeman arrived to approach. But it was not a common approach. Lara said something he didn't like. He got on top of her, punched her several times and shot her several times and she had no way to react. He killed her sitting down. She had no right idea. She was undergoing psychiatric treatment, took that lot of medicine. She was executed because she didn't have anything. They are abusing. Yesterday it was Lara and today it could be my son. I think there was a prejudice too", reported.
The case was registered on the duty of the Department of Homicide and Protection of the Person (DHPP) as death in confrontation with a state agent and is being investigated.

Officers canvased the neighborhood only to be turned away by witnesses so much so an officer was quoted saying that “witnesses were very uncooperative”
The victim has been identified as a Black trans woman named Martasia Richmond, age 30, who was pronounced dead at the scene with stab wounds to the chest and neck. Presently their is no one in custody for her murder and officers are asking for any one with information to please come forward.

Love and light to the families, friends and loved ones.

Stabbed
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/09-Jul-2022/Sabrina Houston
Sabrina's body was found with stab wounds in an apartment. A suspect has been arrested.
A foreigner found murdered in an apartment in Tallinn's Town Hall Square earlier this month has been identified as Sabrina Houston, 37, a trans Black woman from Jamaica, Estonian online news portal Delfi reports.
The Police and Border Guard Board (PPA) confirmed on Monday that the foreigner found murdered on July 9 was a trans Jamaican citizen, the online news portal reported. The police declined to comment on the motive, as the investigation is still in its early stages.
Local resident Kirill Lukin, 23, was arrested on July 12 and has not denied murdering Houston.
A second local man, 32, initially detained together with Lukin, was later freed; evidence collected thus far proved that while the two men had been spotted by cameras moving around together, the second man had not committed the murder, explained Kelly Kruusimägi, senior prosecutor at the Northern District Prosecutor's Office Department for Drug-related, Grave and Organized Crimes.
Anette Maletjärv, cooperation officer at the Estonian LGBT Association, tweeted about Houston's murder on Monday, sharing screenshots of the public message posted by Houston's cousin Aryelle Freeman Hopelezz confirming the victim's identity as well as expressing their dismay that the Estonian media had misgendered Houston in earlier coverage.
"On July 9, a young Black trans woman was murdered in Tallinn," Maletjärv wrote in Estonian. "This is a terribly tragedy and I am in shock. I haven't heard of a single case of an LGBT person being killed in Estonia before. The murder victim's gender identity has not been reported correctly in the media."
Police were notified at midday on Saturday, July 9 that a body bearing signs of violence had been found in a rental apartment in Tallinn's Old Town; Lukin and the second man were detained in connection with the murder around 1:30 p.m. the next day. According to the allegations, Lukin repeatedly stabbed Houston, a casual acquaintance, in the apartment that same morning.

Taylor Atkinson
9 Jul 2022
Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire (United Kingdom)
Suicide
Taylor died by suicide in a women's prison on Saturday 9th July - the day of London's Trans Pride.
He was serving an indeterminate prison sentence and had already been in prison for 14 years of what was originally a 4 year sentence.
While in prison, he had been subjected to repeated institutional transphobia.
On Saturday 9 July – the day of London’s Trans Pride – a trans man named Taylor took his own life at HMP Eastwood Park in Gloucestershire.
Taylor slit his own throat to put an end to an indeterminate prison sentence that had already lasted over 14 years. He was one of the thousands of people still suffering in UK prisons after being given an Indeterminate sentence for Public Protection (IPP). Sadly, Taylor is reportedly the second prisoner to take their own life at Eastwood Park in recent weeks. At least 242 IPP prisoners have died in prison, with at least 72 of them (including Taylor) taking their own lives.
On the evening of 10 July, an angry protest took place outside HMP Eastwood Park. Demonstrators accused the prison of being responsible for Taylor’s death. Loved ones gave speeches outside, and prisoners inside the walls joined in with the chants. One eyewitness said that at one point it seemed like the whole prison was chanting Taylor’s name in unison with the demonstration outside. A statement and call to action written by his close friends claims that, in the months running up to his death, prison officers had beaten Taylor and punished him for kissing another prisoner.
During Taylor’s time in prison, his friends said he had received transphobic abuse from both prisoners and officers. They also said that one officer had deliberately and persistently “deadnamed” Taylor. Moreover, his intimate relationships with women prisoners had been pathologised and discouraged. And he had been deliberately separated from the people that he loved.
The authors of the statement spoke about who Taylor was and what he had been through:
"Taylor was a trans prisoner trapped in the UK prison system for over 14 years. He was an IPP prisoner, who had served 10 years longer in prison than his original sentence. He was a beloved friend to anarchist comrades who met him in prison. He had ACAB [all cops are bastards] on his knuckles and an anti-authoritarian spirit and a deep love for animals. He was a working class ‘old school’ prisoner who knew which side he was on. He hated the system with every ounce of his being."
Taylor’s friends spoke about his organising inside prison with the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) and against cruel IPP sentences like the one he was serving:
Taylor was one of the first prisoner members of the IWW via the Incarcerated Workers Organising Committee (IWOC) that was founded in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland in 2015. He was also active with Smash IPP, contributing to the newsletter and encouraging other IPP prisoners to join the group.
IPP prisoners are given a ‘tariff’ for the crime they’re being sentenced for, but once that tariff is served they are not automatically released. Their freedom is in the hands of the parole board. This makes IPP sentences equivalent to a life sentence, but they have largely been handed out for minor crimes.
Taylor’s friends call the IPP sentence a death sentence:
"It is effectively a life sentence for minor crimes. After huge public pressure, IPP sentences were abolished in 2012, but not retrospectively, which means there are still more than 3500 people in prison with no release date. The uncertainty is a living hell. This sentence led to the UK having one of the highest rates of prisoner suicide in the world. "
One contributor to a recent documentary about IPP prisoners, called Unintended Consequences, said:
"the miserable reality of people on IPP sentences is there’s a very good chance that they will kill themselves. If you’re a prisoner you’re twice as likely to kill yourself as a member of the general population. If you’re an IPP prisoner you’re twice again as likely to kill yourself."
For Taylor, the IPP was a death sentence. He was given 4 years for burglary but served 14 years before he died. The long-term imprisonment with no end-date totally destroyed Taylor’s mental health. He attempted suicide multiple times, including slitting his own throat and taking an overdose that led him to being in a coma twice. It eventually killed him.
In order to secure his release, Taylor had to try and satisfy the parole board. When he failed to do that, his mental health spiralled downwards. And his increasing distress was weaponised against him to keep him locked up. According to Taylor’s friends:
"At each board hearing, new ‘hoops’ can be created that the prisoner will need to then jump through. For example, a prisoner might do everything the Parole Board directs and then two years later at the next hearing, the Parole Board might say “you still need to address X behaviour and therefore do X course.” This leads to a continual process of imprisonment where goal posts are repeatedly moved. The uncertainty, frustration and lack of power leads to prisoner behaviour deteriorating, whether that is increased drug use, self-harm or kicking off in protest."
This behaviour then becomes the justification for their continuing imprisonment, because that person is not ‘safe’ for the community or has not ‘addressed their offending behaviour’. The cycle continues.
Taylor’s friends describe the events that led up to his IPP sentence:
The combination of childhood abuse and gender dysphoria led to drug and alcohol abuse, as well as a long-term pattern of self-harm. Taylor became an addict, and as a working class person with no financial means, “crime” was the only option to sustain his habit. This led Taylor to a very self-destructive life, including many abusive relationships and actions that he deeply regretted. Taylor accessed many mental health services, however, none of them affirmed Taylor’s gender identity or needs and he was repeatedly pathologised, hospitalised and imprisoned.
In the judges’ summing up of his case whereby he was given an IPP sentence, he recognised it was Taylor’s ‘gender issues’ that led to his imprisonment.

Jay went missing on Friday 8th July. Although a body has not been found, a suspect has been arrested and charged with murder.
Jay was reportedly not transgender but identified as a gay man. He was however wearing women's clothing at the time he disappeared.
A man was arrested and charged with the murder of 20-year-old University of Mississippi student Jimmie “Jay” Lee, whose remains have not been found since going missing July 8, officials said Friday.
Sheldon Timothy Herrington Jr., 22, was arrested by the Oxford Police Department and the University of Mississippi Police Department. A bond was not set as of Friday, the agencies said in a joint news release.
CNN was unable to determine whether Herrington has obtained an attorney as of Friday.
Police believe Lee was visiting someone who lives in Molly Barr Trails before disappearing July 8 around 5:58 a.m.
In social media posts reviewed by CNN and images released by authorities, although Lee dresses in women’s clothing and makeup in some pictures and videos, Lee writes that he identifies as a gay male.
In December 2024 Herrington's trial for capital murder concluded with a deadlocked jury and a mistrial was declared.

Jasper Aaron Lynch
Age 267 Jul 2022
McClean, Virginia (USA)
Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/07-Jul-2022/Jasper Aaron Lynch
Aaron was shot by police during a mental health crisis.
HRC is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Aaron Lynch, a 26-year-old transgender man who was shot and killed by police in McClean, Virginia on July 7. Aaron’s death is at least the 26th violent killing of a transgender or gender non-conforming person in 2022. We say “at least” because too often these deaths go unreported — or misreported.
At 26, Aaron had his whole life in front of him. My thoughts and prayers are with Aaron’s loved ones. Aaron’s death is a tragic result of our system’s ineffectiveness in caring for people who are struggling mentally and emotionally. People, especially those of multiple marginalized identities, suffer every day as a result. His life did not have to end like this. We demand more focus and funding on mental health care in our country, including the addition of mental health counselors to respond to certain critical situations. No family should have to bear this pain."
On July 7, police responded to a call made by a friend who was concerned about Aaron’s wellbeing and went to his home to check in on him. It was reported that police arrived with a trained mental health co-responder but Aaron was not found on the property. Police then returned a second time without the co-responder. After a back-and-forth with police, officers attempted to tase Aaron unsuccessfully. One officer then fired his weapon, shooting Aaron four times. No officers were injured and Aaron was pronounced dead at the scene. The shooting is under investigation and all involved officers have been placed on restricted duty.
Aaron’s family released the following statement to local press:
“Our son, Aaron, was experiencing a severe mental health crisis on July 7. He was scared and asked for both of the 911 calls that were made that day. We believe that the three police officers who answered the second 911 call could have, and should have, handled this far differently. To respond to Aaron’s mental health crisis by shooting him at all, let alone multiple times, cannot be justified. We recognize that, at times, police officers face grave and unknown dangers in the line of duty, but that was not the case for that call at our home regarding our son. Aaron was about 5’ 6", slightly built, and holding just a bottle and a decorative mask. As parents, we mourn the heartbreaking loss of our son and are left with only memories and regret. Had we known there was any possibility that the police responding to the second 911 call would use lethal force against Aaron during a mental health crisis, we would not have involved them until a mental health counselor could be present, as was the case for the response to the first 911 call. We hope our efforts to find out more about this incident will, in the future, help families in similar situations avoid such a tragic outcome.”

C. was killed in a hit and run incident.
Cuernavaca, MORELOS.- The injuries she suffered when he was hit by a hit-and-run car took the life of a man dressed as a woman in the Amatitlán neighborhood.
The deceased person was called [deadname] Castillo, Morales, 35 years old, a resident of the aforementioned neighborhood. At 07:20 yesterday, a road policeman saw a transsexual woman lying on the corner of avenida Plan de Ayala and calle Carnero, for which he requested the support of paramedics who confirmed that the person had died.
Some witnesses reported that a speeding vehicle hit [deadname] when she was crossing the avenue and that the person responsible then fled towards Jiutepec, although it is also presumed that the run over was intentional.
The deceased's sister identified the body, in addition to Semefo experts conducting an inspection in the area and locating business security cameras, from which the characteristics of the responsible vehicle could be determined.

Nancy was shot by a man who then fled the scene. She was a member of Colectivo Trans Trébol.
On July 2, Nancy Sacul Tut, a trans activist and human rights defender, was murdered in the Guatemalan capital. According to the National LGBTI Human Rights Observatory, there have been 16 deadly attacks against this community so far this year.

Her name was Kitty Monroe.
On Wednesday, June 29, 2022, she died from multiple gunshot injuries at her home in the 1600 block of Oaken Bucket Drive in the Cordova section of Memphis.
The man who murdered her shot her after a domestic dispute. He has been arrested and charged with voluntary manslaughter. Friends told reporters that Kitty knew this man and had been in a relationship with him at some point.
Kitty’s social media shows that she adored her sweet baby Yorkies, her family, and friends. She’s described by neighbors as having been very nice, friendly, often chatting as she walked her dogs.
As reported by ABC24, the police report said a witness told police they received a text from the victim, saying a man was at her apartment and wouldn’t leave.
The affidavit said the suspect told investigators he and the victim had been in a bedroom fighting about him leaving. The report said he said the victim pulled a gun and “ordered him to leave.”
According to the report, he said he walked to the top of the stairs and then grabbed for the gun and they struggled. He said they both fell down the stairs and when they landed, the suspect told police he pulled out his own gun and shot the victim six to seven times. The affidavit said he left and called police from another location.
He is charged with voluntary manslaughter. Bond was set at $10,000.

Cromada was shot multiple times while sitting outside a bar.
A 32-year-old [trans woman], identified as "Cromada", died after being shot on Monday night (27) in a bar in the Messejana neighborhood, in Fortaleza, Ceará. The crime happened a day before the LGBTQIA+ Pride Day celebrated this Tuesday (28).
Cromada was a personal friend of actor Silvero Pereira, who plays Zaquieu in TV Globo's soap opera Pantanal. Through her social media, Pereira, who fights for the fight against homophobia, regretted what happened and criticized the social shelter system for LGBTQIA + people.
They killed my friend Chrome. Travesti, black, poor, peripheral. It's been a while since we've seen each other, nor spoken to each other, but rarely have I met such a good person, such a dear one. Chromada was the victim of a racist, transphobic, unequal system. Certainly if she had been socially accepted, she would never have made decisions that would lead to such tragedy.
According to information, Cromada was sitting in a chair on the sidewalk of the bar when she was hit by shots, dying on the spot. Teams of the Military Police and Forensic Experts of the State of Ceará (Pefoce) were called to the scene. The case is being investigated by the 3rd Precinct, Department of Homicide and Protection of the Person (DHPP), of the Civil Police.

Victoria was shot while attending Festa Junina. She died in front of a hospital after family members were told no doctors were available to attend to her injuries.
A 25-year-old [trans woman] was executed with at least four shots in Maringá. The crime took place on the night of this Saturday, 25, in the Santa Felicidade complex.
The victim was identified as Victoria de Lima. She was participating in a June party that took place in Praça Zumbi dos Palmares, when she was surprised by the shooter. After the shooting the man fled.
People called for help, but the victim's family preferred to refer her to the UPA. When they arrived, they found a vehicle blocking the entrance, so they took Victória to the Municipal Hospital, next to the UPA.
She had injuries to her abdomen, chest and head. According to reports from a cousin of hers, when they arrived at the hospital they were told that there was no doctor to attend to the young woman. She died in front of the hospital unit.
In a final indignity, Victoria's body was exhumed on the orders of police in February 2023 so they could search for additional evidence relating to her murder - specifically the bullets that had killed her, which inexplicably - had not been removed from her body before burial..

Estrallita was shot outside her home.
[Deadname] Martínez Correa, 22 years old, was murdered early this Friday morning on 29th Street between carrerra 10 and 11 in the Cristo Rey neighborhood of Fonseca from a firearm impact at neck height.
Her mother heard a shot and when she looked out the window, a relative approached her to tell her that [Estrallita] had been wounded. She helped her herself and transfered him to the procedure room of the San Agustín hospital, but unfortunately, moments later the doctor on duty notifies her that she had died.
The hypothesis that is handled is that the homicide could have occurred due to a fight that originated at a party, in which Martínez Correa was and from where she left for her home.

MANSEHRA: A transgender person, who was critically injured in a gun attack, died in a hospital on Wednesday.
Hazara Transgender Association president Nadar Khan told reporters that Sabtain Khan had fired at five members of the community, including Sameera, Kaif, Tulsi, Muna and Natasha, in their house here [in March] leaving them all seriously injured.
“[Sameera] succumbed to the injuries on the second day of firing, while Kaif breathed [her] last on Wednesday,” she said.
Ms Nadar said the body was shifted to the King Abdullah Teaching Hospital for postmortem.
She demanded exemplary punishment of the accused, who was held a day after firing.
The association leader said Kaif’s murder had taken the number of transgender persons killed in the province during the last few years to 98.
Mohammad Shehbaz, the brother of the deceased, demanded of the police to protect the life and property of transgender persons in the province.

Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/21-Jun-2022/Shawmaynè Giselle Marie
Shawmayné and her sister were both shot inside their apartment. Makhari Seven Gasaway, 20, was arrested on charges of first-degree murder and aggravated assault.
Her name was Shawmayné Giselle Marie McClam. She was a Black trans woman, just 27 years old, when she was murdered in a shooting in Gulfport, Mississippi on Tuesday, June 21, 2022. And now she is the 18th known trans person to be murdered in the US this year. Her sister is hospitalized in critical condition.
Two siblings were shot multiple times inside a Gulfport apartment early Tuesday morning. One is dead, and the other is fighting for her life. Now, the search is on for the person, or people, responsible.
The deadly confrontation happened just after midnight inside a residence at Emerald Pines Apartments. Another sibling, a brother, was also inside the apartment at the time of the shooting, along with two children and the mother of the victims. None of them were physically injured by the intruder(s).
On Thursday, police arrested a Gulfport man on first-degree murder and aggravated assault charges police said in a new release. Makhari Seven Gasaway, 20, was arrested Thursday and is being held at the Harrison County jail. Police said the shooting occurred after Gasaway and McClam got into an argument, and Gasaway pulled out a gun and started shooting.
He just shot her after an argument. And her sister. In front of their family, including children. He is 20 and now he is a murderer. And sadly once again law enforcement and media misgendered her, forcing her family and friends to add the task of saying her name to their grieving rituals.
Shawmaynè was born and raised in Gulfport, where she attended Gulfport High School. She enjoyed dancing, being funny, and makeup. She worked as a Personal Care Assistant (PCA) and more recently a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) for nearly four years. She advocated on social media for trans folx, against colorism, and loved her streaming shows and movies. Tributes pouring in describe her as a genuinely nice, caring person who is obviously dearly missed.
Please send thoughts up for her sibling who is still in the hospital. There is a GoFundMe to help the family with final expenses.
Just over a week after the shooting Makhari Seven Gasaway, 20, was arrested and confessed to the crime.
A Mississippi man has been arrested after he allegedly confessed to killing a 27-year-old transgender woman in her apartment.
Makhari Seven Gasaway, 20, has been charged with first-degree murder and aggravated assault. Gasaway is currently being held without bond on the murder charge at the Harrison County Jail.
According to the Biloxi Sun Herald, court records indicate that Gasaway confessed to shooting Shawmayné Giselle Marie and her sister on June 21 at approximately 12:30 a.m. at the Emerald Pines Apartments. Marie was found dead at the scene. Her sister, who was shot three times, was sent to a local hospital.
In October 2024 Gasaway was sentenced to 50 years in prison, of which 20 were suspended. His second-degree murder sentence must be served day-for-day with no early release or parole.

Name Unknown
19 Jun 2022
Ecatepec, Estado de México (Mexico)
Shot
The victim was murdered while she was standing at a bus stop on the Mexico-Pachuca Highway. Her identity is not known.
A transgender woman was murdered on the edge of the Mexico-Pachuca Highway, near the town of Santa María Tulpetlac, in Ecatepec.
The initial hypotheses suggest that the victim, between 40 and 45 years old, was taken to kilometer 18+600 and was shot three times with a firearm. The bullets, according to the paramedics' diagnosis, were embedded in her head: two in the left cheek and one more in the parietal area. However, the authorities do not have more details of the case, since there were no witnesses and there are no surveillance cameras in that area.
About 100 meters away there is a surveillance module of the municipal police, but it was agents who discovered the body during the early hours of the morning. She was in a fetal position on the shoulder, the blood had run down her face until it formed a puddle on the pavement and he was not wearing shoes.
“They reported it to us at 4:30 (hours), but surely the event occurred before. "The last patrol we did was around 1:30 (hours) and there was still nothing," said one of the federal soldiers. Although they requested an ambulance and the rescuers did not take long to arrive, they only confirmed the death.
On one side of the body, they found three ballistic signs and a ring that probably belonged to the victim. Around 8:00 am, the body was still under police guard and some neighbors approached the metal fence that prevents access to the road.
The same was done by drinking water distributors who came to pick up their pipes at a nearby parking lot. However, no one recognized the transgender woman or provided more details of the crime.

Brazil was found dead in an apartment suffering from gunshot wounds.
Milwaukee police are investigating a homicide that occurred on Wednesday, June 15 in the 2200 block of N. Teutonia Avenue at 6:30 a.m. officers arrived on the scene to find 28 year-old Brazil Johnson dead on arrival.
Brazil who identified as a Black trans woman was said to succumb to a fatal gunshot injuries.
The circumstances leading up to the shooting are under investigation. We are speaking with the family and assisting in the final arrangement as much as we can.
There’s multiple stories going around and due to this being an active investigation there’s not much that we can verify at this moment. Brazil would be number 17 according to HRC website following the murder of Sasha Mason, a 45-year-old Latina transgender woman from North Carolina [unfortunately] it’s hard to track these murders due to bad media coverage as Brazil’s murder was covered by Fox in which they dead named and misgendered her.
Presently Milwaukee police continue to seek unknown suspects which is a sign that they may have persons of interest. If you were in the area of Teutonia and Garfield and saw anything we encourage you to contact Milwaukee police at 414-935-7360 or to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 414-224-Tips.

Suany's life ended in the Barrio el Centro of San Pedro Sula, northern Honduras. In the place where she was found, several bullet cartridges lay, evidence of the hatred towards the community of sexual diversity and the lack of action by the authorities, despite having been alerted previously.
Suany's street condition exposed her even more to attacks, delinquency and violence, with deep abhorrence, not only was she shot several times, she was also run over by a vehicle. Her crime exposes a lack of empathy and disrespect for life. The human rights defender and director of the IGUALES Association, Javier Carrington, said that it could be seen that the bullets were from a shotgun.
In 2021, Suany filed and documented a complaint for discrimination, threats, physical and verbal aggression, but everything was left in a file with the sum of the incidents that ended up taking her life.
The second complaint was filed on February 25 and the third and last on June 11 of this year, both of which reinforced the one filed in 2021, Carrington said. However, the documents ended up in the dust accumulated in the abandoned drawers of the Public Ministry.

Sasha
Age 1511 Jun 2022
Catania, Sicily (Italy)
Suicide
Sasha was a volunteer at Catania Pride. He died by suicide on or slightly before Saturday 11th June.
A terrible tragedy, made even more unsustainable by certain newspaper articles that spoke of a 'girl' who committed suicide. Sasha , this is her name, fell from the sixth floor of her home, in a central street in Catania. The hypothesis is suicide.
" The news of Sasha's death reached us, it struck us and upset us not a little ", the managers of Catania Pride wrote on social networks. “We embrace her friends and friends and all her loved ones. Sasha was a young boy from our community, just 15 years old, recently close to the world of pride and activism. At the last event organized by Catania Pride he chose to be present and personally as a volunteer and helped us in arranging and assembling everything for the activity. We got to talk to him, get to know him and hear his struggles in being able to express his gender identity ".
And this is where the denunciation of the usual, unsustainable misgendering comes from Catania , unfortunately often widespread practice with which we usually refer to a transgender person using terms that refer to biological sex, and not to the gender identity in which this person is person recognizes himself.
“ Precisely for this reason the news of his suicide struck us a lot and, regarding her identity, reading in the newspapers and in the local press about“ a little girl ”fills us with anger “, concluded Arcigay Catania. “It is inconceivable that society as a whole would lead a boy of just 15 to make a similar gesture. It's not right. He was a boy, and his name was Sasha and should be remembered as such. May the earth be light to him”.

Camilla Bertolotti
Age 437 Jun 2022
Liguria (Italy)
Beaten and shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/04-Jun-2022/Camilla Bertolotti
Camilla's body was found near a stream in a rural area. It is possible that she was killed after witnessing the murder of Nevila Pjetri, a cisgender woman.
A suspect is in custody on suspicion of being responsible for both murders.
The facts known at the moment are as follows. Two corpses found within two days, of a [sex worker] and a trans [woman], in the borderland between Liguria and Tuscany, far from the glamor of Versilia. Daniele Bedini, 32, was arrested for the first murder, that of Nevila Pjetri, but he declares himself "completely unrelated to the facts". It is investigated to understand whether the second murder, that of Carlo Bertolotti, known as "Camilla", is also attributable to him.
Let's put the events in order. Nevila Pjetri's body was found in the night between Saturday and last Sunday in Marinella di Sarzana: an autopsy revealed that she was killed by two shots from a .22 caliber pistol after being brutally attacked. The second body, that of Carlo Bertolotti, a transsexual known as Camilla, was found lifeless 48 hours later a few kilometers away, also killed by a firearm. Bertolotti's Fiesta had been found by the carabinieri, alerted by friends and acquaintances who had not seen the victim for a couple of days. It is not excluded that she was already killed between Sunday and Saturday or between Sunday and Monday.
The owner of a well-known carpentry shop in the area had presented himself to the police station in Carrara to report the theft of a .22 caliber pistol. At dawn yesterday the carabinieri arrested his son: Daniele Bedini, 32 years old. The hypothesis is that he stole his father's gun and committed a double murder with that weapon. Daniele Bedini has a history of robbery, receiving stolen goods, and drugs. On the documents he appears to be a craftsman. Bedini did not admit killing Nevila, stealing her bag and cell phone, and then throwing her into the bed of the Parmignola stream, in Marinella di Sarzana. The weapon regularly held by the father has not yet been found and at the moment it is only compatible with the bullets found next to the corpses. The hearing to validate the arrest is expected in the next few hours.
Carlo Bertolotti, 43, hairdresser, transsexual [woman] known by the name of Camilla, was also killed with a small caliber gun. Her car was not far from the body, two compatible shells and bloodstains were found. The points of contact between the first and second murders are there. Impossible to draw hasty conclusions, but one of the hypotheses reported today by the newspapers is that Bedini attacked Nevila, perhaps to rob her, and that Camilla saw too much and for what she was murdered. Investigators think that Bedini may have killed a second time, it is not clear how long after the first of her, to eliminate those who had seen him while he was loading in the car - probably to rob her - the woman. About him, the investigators write "numerous serious clues have been collected".
Camilla was a hairdresser who lived alone and used to own her own salon. A year earlier, her home had "mysteriously" burned down, and local people had set up a fundraiser to help her.
Camilla Bertolotti was a woman.
Until last year she lived in Montebello di Ceparana where, for four years, she was the owner of a hairdressing shop. She lived alone, had long lost her parents. Last year she moved to Albiano Magra after her house mysteriously burned down. The villagers had set up a fundraiser to help her. For a few months she had found work as a hairdresser in a Spezia shop. On Sunday morning she was found lifeless near the Parmignola stream, on the border between Liguria and Tuscany. He was 43 years old. Investigations are currently underway, and there is one suspect.
Camilla was also a trans woman, which is a detail that is important to add, not because it defines her as a person, but because she defines her murder: an act of transphobia. To date Italy is the first European country in the number of murders of transgender people ( https://ilbolive.unipd.it/.../trans-day-remembrance-non... ). Not only physical violence, but also psychological violence and social discrimination. From the difficulty in accessing hormonal care, to the endless bureaucracy needed to change documents, to the loss of homeland power over your children as a result of the transition (and this, because same-sex marriage) he has not yet been recognized). And I could keep it going
At last, the social humiliation. The Italian press reported the news of Camilla's murder, referring to her as a transgender, a hairdresser. Bringing back the dead name Camilla left behind to finally live her life as the woman she was and will be in our memories. After fighting a whole life to have her own existence recognized, free and authentic, Camilla left like this, tragically, deprived of her own dignity. The violence within the violence.
Let's not forget about Camilla and all the other transgender people who are humiliated, insulted, discriminated, beaten and killed every day in Italy and around the world. Let's join the Pride. Let's go to schools ( Arcigay Friuli ODV , Arcigay Arcobaleno ODV ). Let's talk about them. Let's fight for them.

Yuridia Pizarro
Age 552 Jun 2022
Iquique, Tarapacá (Chile)
Suffocated
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/02-Jun-2022/Yuridia Pizarro
Yurida's body was found in a coastal area of the city where she lived and owned a bakery.
On Thursday, the discovery of the lifeless body of 55-year-old Yuridia Pizarro was confirmed. Pizarro was a transgender woman who owns the San Pedro bakery in Caleta Caramucho in Iquique, in the Tarapacá region.
The Prosecutor's Office confirmed that the body was found on the south coast of Iquique. The Homicide Brigade of the PDI was ordered to continue with the investigations.
As detailed by SoyIquique.cl, Carabineros reported that after making a tour of Route A-1 on Thursday, the lifeless body was found in the coastal sector of this city. A man of Colombian nationality was arrested for his alleged part in the events.
Subprefect Cristián Sayago, head of the Homicide Brigade of the PDI, indicated that at the request of the Prosecutor's Office of Iquique they are working on the discovery of the body on Route A-1, at kilometer 368, where the corresponding investigations are being carried out. Janka Pierola Pizarro, a niece of Yuri Pizarro, said that the events occurred last Sunday, May 29, when a neighbor of the sector realized that her aunt was not at home.
On Monday 30 they went to the house and asked a man of Colombian nationality, who for a year worked with his aunt (who had a bakery in Caleta Caramucho).
Janka said that this citizen informed the relatives that his aunt Yuri Pizarro had traveled to Bolivia, but when she searched the house for her belongings they realized that her vehicle - a van used by their aunt to buy flour, ingredients and products for their business - was missing. In addition, she said that when entering the house they found her aunt's belongings in a disorderly state and decided to report the disappearance to the Chanavayita Carabineros.
Yuridia's niece also indicated that her aunt's vehicle was later found abandoned by Carabineros of the Third Police Station in Alto Hospicio.
In May 2023 Jhonatan Cañón Rodríguez and Néstor Cuéllar Rodríguez were convicted of her murder. Jhonatan Cañón Rodríguez was later sentenced to life imprisonment, and Néstor Cuéllar Rodríguez to 8 years in prison.
Prosecutor achieves conviction of two defendants for the death of a transgender woman in Caramucho
After the trial, the oral criminal court of Iquique resolved to sentence two foreign citizens accused of their participation in the death of a transgender woman that occurred in Caleta Caramucho, on May 29 of last year. One of them was convicted as the perpetrator of a femicide, since he had been a cohabitant of the victim.
According to what has been proven in the trial carried out by the prosecutor (s) María Alejandra Jorquera, the events occurred while the victim Yuri Pizarro Torres was at her home in Caleta Caramucho together with the defendants Jhonatan Cañón Rodríguez, with whom she had a relationship of coexistence, and Néstor Cuéllar Rodríguez - both of Colombian nationality - who after having an argument with her proceeded to hit her in the face and then suffocate her, causing her death.
The defendants then decided to hide her body, proceeding to take it to the minibus which was owned by the victim and going to the Quintero beach sector, where they dug a grave and buried her, covering her with an armchair in poor condition.
“The most relevant aspect of this verdict is that the court expressly recognized that the victim, despite having been born in the wrong body, throughout her life perceived herself and manifested herself through the female gender, which was made clear with the evidence exhibited by the Prosecutor's Office, especially, the testimonies of his friends and family, and that is why one of the defendants was convicted as the perpetrator of the crime of femicide, since the sentimental bond he had with the victim was established, "explained the prosecutor.

P. was stabbed following an argument in their apartment.
A 32-year-old [trans person] from Bengaluru was allegedly stabbed to death by an auto driver last month. The incident joins a long list of episodes of violence against the members of the LGBTQIA+ community in India who have to face the risk to their safety on a daily basis, alongside dealing with social stigma and ostracisation.
The deceased, known as [possible deadname], was a resident of Bengaluru’s BTM layout. While this incident occurred on May 30, his body was only discovered on June 2, after [their] neighbours complained that a foul smell was coming from [their] apartment. The accused, named Rakshith, is still absconding.
[P.] had been living in a rented flat for three months and would reportedly often invite men over to [their] apartment. According to the reports, a fight ensued between Rakshith and [P.] on May 30, when Rakshith came to his flat in a drunken state.
Police reports reveal that [possible deadname] was the first to stab Rakshith, which enraged him and led him to repeatedly stab [P.] in the abdomen and left arm. After the fight ended fatally, Rakshith fled the crime scene.

TEGUCIGALPA, HONDURAS.- The young woman who was found lifeless, with signs of torture and without clothes under the air bridge of the El Prado neighborhood in the capital was identified this Thursday.
According to the forensic report, her name was Kristian Elías Martínez Martínez, but within the LGTBI community she was known as Amy Winehouse, just like the British singer and songwriter who died in 2011. Her body was found last Saturday May 28 at around 7:00 in the morning.
The authorities detailed that at the place of the discovery there were clothes and some personal items, but they did not find identification, so it had to be recognized with the autopsy. So far no details have been provided about the person responsible for the violent act.
The KAI surveillance unit mourned the death of Amy Winehouse, whom they described as "a trans girl with a personalized character."
“We urge the authorities to immediately carry out the corresponding investigations that can clarify the fact and obtain an immediate response to Mrs. Martha Martínez, who was her only relative,” requested the organization in favor of the LGTBI community. They also called on the State to comply with the sentence issued by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the case of Vicky Hernández, which urges the State to apply the protocols for monitoring and investigating the cases of violence against LGBTI people.

Alice Litman
Age 2026 May 2022
Brighton, Sussex (United Kingdom)
Suicide
Alice died by suicide. At the time she had been on a waiting list for an NHS Gender Identity Clinic for no fewer than 1023 days.
This is the stark reality of trans medical care in the United Kingdom.
My sister died after 1,023 days on an NHS waiting list. This is the reality of the ‘trans debate’
Alice Litman died by suicide on 26 May, at the age of 20, having been failed by the state. Her sister, Kate Litman, shines a light on the political conditions of her death, and honours her memory.
This year at London Trans Pride, joy and celebration were underscored by pain and grief.
Thousands of people decked out in queer splendour marched carrying placards with messages such as “Trans is Beautiful” and “Trans Joy is Powerful”. At the same time, space was held to grieve trans lives that have been lost, with a minute of silence and a powerful speech from Lucia Blayke, who named transgender women who have been murdered or taken their own lives.
"I joined the protest with my brother and parents and to march for our sister and daughter, Alice, who died by suicide on 26 May this year, at the age of 20. Alice was one of many who died while on an NHS waiting list to receive potentially lifesaving medical care.
"In the days after Alice’s death, my mum spoke of her desire to send Alice’s ashes to the individuals who are so determined to make our world a hostile one for trans people. Without knowing it, my mum was echoing the ACT UP protests of the 1990s, where demonstrators threw the ashes of loved ones who had died from AIDS-related illnesses onto the lawn of the White House, to condemn the inaction of the US government in the face of the HIV/AIDS crisis."
On 14th September 2023 PinkNews reported that her inquest will focus on the impact of the long wait she endured to access gender-affirming care:
Alice Litman died in May last year, and her family believe the long wait she had to endure played a part. Litman had been referred to an NHS gender clinic in August 2019, and had been waiting more than 1,000 days for an initial assessment.
An inquest into her death will open on 18 September, and will reportedly examine delays she faced in accessing gender-affirming care, specifically from London’s Tavistock Gender Identity Clinic, according to her family, who described her as a “sweet and gentle person”. She “died partly because of the inaccessibility of gender-affirming healthcare in the UK”, they claim.
On Friday 13th October 2023 the coroner concluded that lengthy waiting lists and significant barriers that prevent transgender people accessing gender-affirming care in the UK contributed to a decline in Alice's the mental health, and raised concerns about delays accessing gender-affirming healthcare and a lack of clarity for clinicians.

Died in custoday
DeeDee died in police custody soon after she was found walking around a parking lot in sweltering heat.
A local business had called the police, stating that she was causing a disturbance. After police restrained her and put her in a spit hood during an altercation, she died in an ambulance en route to hospital, despite paramedics' attempt to save her.
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) — Dallas police said today they are investigating a death in custody that took place on May 26, 2022.
Deputy Chief Terrance Rhodes with the DPD's Criminal Investigations Bureau said that [deadname] Hall, 47, died at Baylor Hospital after officers took her into custody.
According to Rhodes, police received a 911 call at 12:45 p.m. from a business in the 12000 block of Garland Road. An employee told dispatchers that Hall was causing a disturbance inside the business and said he believed she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol due to her yelling and falling down. Four minutes later, at 12:49 p.m., two officers were assigned to the call. They arrived at 12:59 p.m. and located Hall outside of 11900 Garland Road.
Police said Hall appeared to be in an "altered mental state" and did not respond to questions. Shortly after, at 1:04 p.m., Hall collapsed while speaking to crewmembers of Dallas Fire-Rescue Engine 49.
She stood back up and began yelling at first responders before attempting to take off her clothing. The two police officers attempted to take her into custody, but she was not compliant and was taken to the ground and handcuffed.
On the ground, Hall continued to scream at officers and other first responders while attempting to move. Two more officers then arrived to assist the others.
At 1:15 p.m., DFR Engine 75 arrived on scene. Hall was placed on a stretcher and loaded onto the ambulance.
While she was being transported to Baylor, she grew quiet and her vital signs began to fade. DFR personnel started CPR at 1:49 p.m., moments before arriving at the hospital. They continued performing CPR on Hall as she was taken into the emergency room, but she was pronounced deceased at Baylor Hospital at 2:05 p.m.
The Dallas Medical Examiner conducted an autopsy on May 27, but the results of that and a toxicology screen are still pending.The Dallas Police Special Investigation Unit is conducting an investigation into Hall's death.
Two years after DeeDee's death, her family filed a lawsuit against the city of Dallas and several officers and paramedics, seeking a a jury trial and damages of $2 million.

Possible suicide
Maddie may have died by suicide.
Today we say goodbye to our daughter, sister, niece and friend, Maddie Dickens, who was taken from us by the disease of mental illness on May 20th, 2022.
There was no one else like Maddie in the world. She was a brilliant physicist, gifted musician, a caring sister and daughter, and a passionate advocate for the vulnerable. She was sweet, kind, smart, funny, passionate, disciplined, determined, brave, and stubborn. After graduating with a degree in Physics from Boston University, she studied for her PhD in Physics at UC Berkeley and is a co-writer on several important research papers in her field. Maddie was an organ donor and saved the lives of four people through her generous gift.
She was born [deadname] Dickens in September 1993 and followed her path to transition to become Maddie in 2016. We are so proud of her. She had the potential for even more greatness but was tragically lost in her prime.

Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/19-May-2022/Maddie Hofmann
Maddie died after being shot by police during a wellbeing check at her home.
Maddie Hofmann – a 47-year-old trans woman and parent of two young children – was shot and killed by police on 19 May during a wellness check at their home in Malvern, Pennsylvania.
The Chester County District Attorney’s Office claimed the police shooting was “justified” and isn’t indicting the officers who shot Hoffman three times, leading to their death. The police report detailed a struggle over a firearm as the ‘justification’ for the shooting.
Police found Hoffman in their home experiencing a mental health crisis and yelling that they were in a “crisis situation”. Investigators said the struggle and shooting happened in less than a minute, Fox 29 reported.
Hoffman was born in Korea and raised by their adopted family in New Jersey and Vermont, according to a GoFundMe created in honour of the late trans woman.
“Maddie’s family is devastated by this loss. Nationwide, police are usually the first responders to people with mental health crises,” the campaign said. It continued: “They are often not trained to provide proper support and the results have been deadly and devastating. “Maddie’s family wishes to elevate this important issue so that it does not happen to another person ever again.”
Maddie is survived by her wife and two young children. Her wife recorded a video on TikTok describing how their 9-year-old son saw the police as his heroes until they killed Maddie:
@theepicmommy OVER 5 MONTHS & STILL NO POLICE INCIDENT REPORT OR BODY CAM FOOTAGE On May 19th of this year our world was shattered when my spouse Maddie was shot and killed by police at home during a mental health wellness check gone horribly wrong. Maddie was in crisis. No mental health professional or conflict resolution specialist came. No psychologist or de-escalation expert was employed. Just officers with guns. Maddie was dead within 57 seconds. Three kill shots. Two to the chest and one to the face. #justice4maddie #translivesmatter #asianlivesmatter #transnationalsdoptee #informtoreform ?

Just a few weeks later another trans person - Jasper Aaron Lynch - was killed in a similar deadly encounter with police.

Khay was found dead with multiple stab wounds early on Tuesday 17th May. Her cell phone was also missing.
A transgender woman in Tawi-tawi was killed after getting stabbed several times in what members of the LGBTQIA community fear to be a hate crime.
According to Jun Veneracion’s report on 24-oras on Thursday, Khay Abdulgajir was found stabbed to death on May 17. She suffered five stab wounds, including one in the neck.
Police investigation showed Khay was fetched by a friend on Monday night for their side hustle as event organizers. Khay was found dead before dawn on Tuesday. Her cell phone was missing.
"One of our angles is, because of jealousy. And the other is because of their occupation," said Police Captain Kuhutan Imlani Jr., Officer-in-charge, of Bongao Police Station.
Members of the LGBTQ community called the incident a "hate crime" as they condemned the brutal killing.

Sherin Celin Mathew
Age 2617 May 2022
Kochi, Kerala (India)
Suicide
Sherin died by suicide.
Sherin Celin Mathew, a 26-year-old trans woman from Kerala, who was an actor and model, was found dead in a rented apartment at Chakkaraparambu in Kochi, on Tuesday, May 17. She was from the neighbouring Alappuzha district and had been staying here for two years. The news comes merely days after the death of another Kerala model, Sahana.
Sherin was reportedly suffering from depression due to some personal differences with a few of her friends. A police officer said a case of unnatural death has been registered and prima facie it appeared to be a suicide, and that a detailed probe was going on. Speaking to TNM, police said that investigation is underway at the scene and her body will be sent for a postmortem soon.
On May 12, Sahana, a young model and small-time actor from Kozhikode, was found dead in her house on her 21st birthday in an apparent case of suicide. In July 2021, Kerala’s first transgender radio jockey Anannyah Kumari Alex was also believed to have died by suicide, days after she had alleged gross medical negligence in her sex reassignment surgery. After her friends and family protested against the hospital – Renai Medicity – and Dr Arjun Asokan, who did the surgery, Kerala Health Minister Veena George ordered a probe into Anannyah’s death.
Recently in April, a fact-finding report on her death alleged gross medical negligence by the private hospital and sought better healthcare for trans persons in the state, and for medical professionals to follow international norms. The fact-finding team has also asked for a second post-mortem of Anannyah’s body, and has said that the police investigation into the death was shoddy.

TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/17-May-2022/Name Unknown
The victim died after being dragged from a car and run over. Her identity is not known.
A transgender woman was found dead in the Goiânia neighborhood, in the northeast region of Belo Horizonte, on Tuesday night (17).
According to the Military Police, the victim, who has not been identified, had several injuries on his body. Security camera footage shows she was thrown out of a car, beaten and run over twice.
In the images, it is possible to see that the car stops in an alley. Shortly thereafter, the driver turns off the vehicle and, just over a minute later, climbs out of the driver's door dragging a person by the hair. The victim is kicked and thrown against a wall, and the assailant then gets back in the car, starts the vehicle and drives away. Later, the vehicle returns and runs over the victim a second time. As a result, the woman was trapped under the car and is dragged along under it.
Investigators were called and during the work it was confirmed that the victim was [trans]. The wounds proved that she had no marks of gunshots or knife blows, only bruises and abrasions.
The murder is investigated by the Civil Police. The suspicion is that the motive for the crime was a disagreement during a sexual program, but other hypotheses are not ruled out, as the perpetrator showed unusual anger, which suggests some kind of previous relationship with the victim.

Stabbed

Estefani was stabbed by her ex-boyfriend. He was arrested and confessed to her murder.
The ex-boyfriend of the young trans woman who was stabbed to death this Saturday (14), in Natal, was arrested and confessed to the crime, according to the Civil Police. A video taken by investigators shows the attack. According to delegate Adson Kleper, the 28-year-old man should answer for femicide.
The victim was officially identified as Estefani Rodrigues Soares, 18 years old. She was killed in a square on Rua Desembargador Carlos Augusto, in Lagoa Nova, in the South Zone of the capital.
An app driver heard the young woman's cries for help and saw her body lying on the ground. He even tried to follow the suspect she ran away from. The knife used in the crime was found in the square.
After being called the Military Police managed to arrest the author of the crime in the Nova Descoberta neighborhood.
The man was injured with a cut on his hand and was taken to UPA Potengi, to be treated, before being taken to the duty of the Specialized Police Station for Assistance to Women, in the North Zone of the capital.
According to the delegate, during the deposition, the man confessed that the crime was premeditated. He also said that he had a falling out with the victim in January and she stabbed him. He then told the delegate that he denounced the aggression, but saw that the investigation was not progressing and decided to act on his own, arranging a meeting and killing the young woman.
Despite the version of revenge presented by the aggressor, the case was registered as a femicide, because of the relationship between him and the victim, according to the delegate.
"It's a serious, heinous crime, and that's why he was booked in the act and will answer for the crime arrested," he said.

Max Sumner
Age 1713 May 2022
Preston, Lancashire (United Kingdom)
Suicide
Max died by suicide. An inquest concluded that the care he received from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) contributed to his death.
A health trust has accepted the findings that it made major failings in its care of a transgender teenager who died by suicide.
Max Sumner, 17, died on May 13, 2022, while under the care of Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust (LSCft) Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). An inquest, which concluded on Tuesday, January 23, concluded the care he received was a contributing factor to his death, and LSCft has accepted the findings.
Max, from New Longton, told his father aged 16 he wanted to be known as Max and by male pronouns, and was a proud LGBTQ+ campaigner who loved drama and performing.
From the age of 15, Max had struggles with his mental health, including self-harm and attempts to take his own life. The inquest heard he had told mental health staff he was in “extreme emotional pain” and regularly told CAMHS and Childline he was thinking about suicide.
Childline breached his confidentiality three times in November 2021 due to imminent concerns about his safety, and referred him again to CAMHS in March 2022. However, none of these actions led to a mental health assessment or referral to social care.
A serious incident investigation by LSCft found Max should have been seen as a child in need of protection in November 2021.
Max’s final two contacts with his case manager were entered into the digital system after Max had sent a suicide note by email on May 13, 2022, but only seen the day after due to the case manager being on annual leave.
Despite regular emails from Max, these were not forwarded on while the case manager was on leave, and there was no contingency plan for a co-worker to support Max during periods of annual leave. Max did not want his family to know of his struggles, and CAMHS had not told his parents about the extent of his issues.
In total, Coroner Kate Bisset endorsed 13 failings by the CAMHS in Max’s care, which were:
Clinical and managerial supervision was not facilitated;
Safeguarding supervision was not utilised;
Non-compliance with safeguarding and clinical risk training;
No evidence of a multi-agency safeguarding plan;
No children’s social care referral;
Missed opportunities to discuss Max at a multi-disciplinary team meeting;
No evidence of care planning or safety planning;
Risk assessment not reviewed;
Emails from Max were not shared;
Max’s family were not involved;
No formal diagnosis was pursued and Max had no care or treatment pathway;
There was no follow up of his ADHD assessment;
No evidence of multi-agency working.
The Coroner found Max’s CAMHS case manager “kept Max to himself”.
“He did not share Max’s presentation, he did not escalate concerns and he did not involve higher chains of command.
“This meant that he was the only person with the whole picture of Max’s needs and any judgement calls about how to keep him safe landed on him alone, a situation which should not happen and should not have been allowed to happen.
“The responsibility for that does not lie with [the case manager] alone.
“Supervision should have been sufficient to understand that a highly complex young person, who [case manager] saw frequently was not on the radar to any other staff member.”
The coroner added: “I conclude had Max’s care been different, in particular had his confidentiality been breached in March 2022, along with escalation to children’s services and discussion of inpatient treatment, it is more likely than not that Max would not have died at the time at which he did because he would not have been afforded the physical opportunity.
“I am not able to say what would have happened to Max if his care was different. He may or may not have been admitted as a voluntary or involuntary patient.
“He may or may not have received a diagnosis and if he did, that may or may not have resulted in some comfort or stabilisation for Max.
“His mental health needs were complex and may have gone on to be enduring. But I am satisfied it is more likely than not that Max’s care contributed to his death.
“Max Sumner was a much-loved son, brother, nephew and friend. He was and remains truly loved. His death is an appalling tragedy for which I offer my sincere condolences to his friends and family. “
The Coroner recorded Max’s sex as male, which is thought to be the first time this has happened for a trans teenager.

Age 1513 May 2022
Le Mans, Sarthe (France)
Suicide
The victim died by suicide. According to his friends he was planning to come out to his parents soon.
A young trans high school student killed himself by jumping from the third floor of his school in Le Mans. Aged 15, he had planned according to his friends to come out soon with his parents.
New drama in LGBTQI+ youth. This Friday, May 13, a 15-year-old trans high school student ended his life by jumping from the third floor of his establishment in Le Mans, in the Sarthe, reports France 3 Pays de la Loire.
It was in the morning, during the 10 a.m. break, that this tragedy took place. "He had a French class for 2 hours and during the intercourse he went to get some fresh air on a balcony and he tried to jump. One of his classmates tried to catch him but failed to retain him," a high school student told local media.
It was the teenager's classmates who told journalists at the scene about his transidentity. "He told us not long ago that he wanted to come out to his parents. His stepfather didn't look very cheerful, but he seemed to be happy to tell his mother. He was like, 'It's cool I think she's going to take it,'" said a friend of the victim. "He told us he wasn't doing very well. However, a few days later I see him smiling, making jokes. I didn't think it would happen," adds another high school student.
A psychological cell was opened in the high school where classes were suspended for the day. "The entire educational community is in mourning. We assure all our support to the parents, the students of the class as well as all the staff of the high school," said Mathias Bouvier, the director of the departmental services of education (DASEN), at a press conference reported by Ouest France, obviously not aware of the transidentity of the student than the newspaper genders to the feminine. The local daily also reports that the mayor of Le Mans, Stéphane Le Foll, reacted by saying "joins the grief of the family and his relatives, as well as that of the teachers of the high school".
This tragedy is a reminder once again that the suicide rate is much higher among LGBTQI+ youth than in the average population. Last October Dinah Gonthier, 14, was found by her mother hanged in her room after several years of school bullying.

Morgan Moore
Age 1710 May 2022
Montgomery Village, Maryland (USA)
Parental neglect
Morgan and his siblings were neglected by his parents and forced to live in squalor. After he died his parents were charged with second-degree murder and six counts of neglect of a minor.
Morgan Moore (b. approximately 2006) died due to medical neglect at the hands of his parents, Dominique and Cynthia Moore. At the time of Morgan’s death, nine of the Moore’s children, both adults and minors, were living in the home. Moore and his six minor siblings were homeschooled. They ranged in age from 5 to 15 years old.
Morgan was fond of Japanese culture, and was excited to travel. His sister also described him as an artist. According to his sister, he was transgender, but many family members refused to accept his identity. According to Cynthia Moore, Morgan suffered from multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and symptoms of long COVID. He also had an abscess on his back that was left untreated. At the time of his death, he was unable to walk or care for himself. In spite of his worsening condition, Morgan had not seen a doctor for two years.
The Moores isolated Morgan and his siblings from their surroundings. Their paternal grandmother, Cynthia Jones, recalls that the little contact children had outside of the immediate family was through their XBOX console. Neighbors hardly saw the children. Detectives noted that the family lived in squalor: toilets did not function, windows were covered with blankets, and animal feces was scattered throughout the home. According to some reports, the Moores belonged to a death cult and would make the entire family lie in caskets.
The Moores homeschooled and submitted requisite documents to the Montgomery County District. The district has declined to answer questions about their records. When interviewed by police, none of the six children were able to describe what they did for school. The children showed signs of developmental delays, and had not received medical care or childhood vaccinations.
The abuse came to light on May 10, 2022, when Morgan choked while trying to swallow apple juice. A sibling called 911 while Cynthia Moore attempted to administer CPR. Morgan was dead by the time paramedics arrived, and weighed only 79 pounds with clothes on.

Asher Garcia
Age 14 (born 3 Apr 2008)21 Apr 2022
Frazee, Minnesota (USA)
Suicide
Asher died by suicide.
FRAZEE – At 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 21, one heart stopped, and many others broke.
[deadname] “Asher” Garcia ended [his] life at age 14.
Increasing responsibilities and expectations are heavy weights for any teen to lift, but the Frazee High School eighth grade student was also reportedly dealing with the added weights of past abuse and a transgender identity that made [him] a target of bullying.
Garcia suffered sexual and physical abuse as a child, [his] parents said, and those repressed memories had been digging their way to the surface. At first, [he] thought it (the abuse) was from a bad dream,” Dutton recalled, adding that when her [son] came forward about what had happened, the reality hit the [boy] hard: “[He] really started to decline; withdraw.”
When Dutton learned that the abuse came at the hands of someone close to her [son], she sought therapy for [him]. Garcia was scheduled to work with a child psychologist at Sanford in Detroit Lakes.
While trying to grapple with dark memories that returned in the form of daytime terrors, Garcia was also dealing with a growing feeling in [his] heart that [his] self-image was more akin to a boy. [He] chose what [his] name would be as a male — Asher — and asked those close to [him] to use it.
Coming to terms with being transgender caused a cascade of unkind commentary from peers — at least that is what Dutton has heard from other parents in recent weeks.
Garcia's aunt, Susan Hobbs, noted that her [netthew] was beautifully unique. [He] was also a typical pre-teen in some ways, Hobbs said, and had a competitive streak and a 'lead foot' when driving a go-cart.
“[He] was also a person who, when [he] cared, [he] cared deeply,” she added. “[He] always looked out for the people [he] loved.”
Outwardly, Garcia appeared to be handling [his] trials, her mom said; but [he] must have been internalizing [his] pain.
“[He] was a happy [boy] who cared about others,” said Dutton, adding with a quiver in her voice that, “I guess [he] didn’t want to worry others with [his] troubles.”
Garcia's family is left with a wound that will never fully heal, and with questions that will never be answered.
“It’s so hard. It’s so hard to go through," Dutton said.
She added that the family is appreciative of the “love and support” they have received from the community.
“It has helped us a lot,” she said. “We need prayers and the chance to experience healing; everyone is hurting.”

Morgana
Age 4120 Apr 2022
Rome, Lazio (Italy)
Not reported
Morgana's body was found in the street. She was homeless and her identity was not released at the time of her death.
Mysterious death in Northern Rome, a stone's throw from the Olympic Stadium, in Piazza Antonio Mancini. Here a 41-year-old Colombian [trans woman] was found dead in the street, still wearing all her personal belongings, wallet, cell phone and documents. This detail made it easy to identify the identity of the trans [woman] who had been reported to the authorities several times because she was irregularly present on the national territory and was homeless.
The report, as often happens, was made by a passer-by who noticed the lifeless body of the [trans woman] at the edge of the square at around 2am on Wednesday 20, triggering the Ares 118 rescue car and the intervention of the carabinieri.
All the leads are examined, but apparently it would appear neither an attack nor a robbery but at present nothing can be excluded and the autopsy on the body of the South American will be decisive. The carabinieri of the investigative unit of via in Selci and those of via Trionfale are also on site as far as they are concerned.
The first findings of the coroner did not reveal any injury but among the hypotheses under consideration there is also that of a death from overdose , which would generate a consequent investigation for death deriving from another crime.
Now the police have taken over the surveillance images of the cameras in Piazza Mancini in order to better analyze them and understand what happened.
A Columbian trans woman was found dead on the street north of Rome, Italy 8 days ago. No name, given. One local article states that all of her belongings were with her and another on a national paper states that her purse was missing. The local article states that she was 41 and the national one that she was 51. The most likely article to be right is the local one. On the national one allegations are made about overdosing (without any proof of course, this is unfortunately common practice in Italian journalism, based on my research, the last trans woman to be dead for overdose is one killed in 2008, but if it's a non-Italian sex-worker, papers will often claim overdose when there's no proof because noone has ever challenged them in court). There were no apparent signs of struggle and an autopsy is apparently being conducted but 8 days later I still cannot find the results of it on a paper. RIP.

Jason Pulman
Age 15 (born 8 Jun 2006)19 Apr 2022
Eastbourne, East Sussex (United Kingdom)
Suicide
Jason died by suicide several months after being told to expect a 26 month wait for a first appointment with an NHS Gender Identity Clinic.
An inquest ruled that his “emotional and mental health needs were "inadequately assessed and provided for” and decared both the police and NHS inadequately handled his case.
Transgender 15-year-old Jason Pulman died by suicide after his country’s medical system told him he’d have to wait 26 months for his first gender-affirming care appointment. His death is at least the third to occur among trans teens in the U.K. who were recently denied similar care — advocates worry such deaths will only increase now that the U.K. seems likely to further restrict such care.
A five-day judicial inquiry at Hastings Coroner’s Court in the east English county of East Sussex has found that Pulman, a trans boy, began self-harming at age 13. He came out as trans at age 14, and in February 2020, his doctor referred him to the U.K. National Health Service’s (NHS) Tavistock Clinic for youth Gender Identity Development Services.
However, when Pulman followed up with the clinic that following October, he learned that he’d have to wait 26 months for his first appointment, The Independent reported.
In the following months, Pulman’s stepfather, Mark Pulman, said the teen had “given up” on his family and himself and began using drugs and alcohol. His mother, Emily Pulman, said he struggled with his gender dysphoria as well as his relationships and friends.
“In his world, that was the answer, in his world we don’t know whether that was the whole answer, but to him that appointment was everything,” his stepfather said.
Emily Pulman added, “My son died a lost boy because he was so confused by the end that he didn’t know what he was or what he was doing. He was driving himself crazy waiting for that appointment because when was it coming? When was he going to get help? He was just waiting for it all to make sense, he had so much confusion going on in his head.”
Pulman’s family last saw him on the evening of April 18, 2022. The next morning, they found his bedroom door tied shut and the window open. They repeatedly contacted the police, but the police made them wait for hours before responding. Police classified his being missing as a “medium-risk” concern because there was “nothing to suggest immediate risk of suicide.” An hour later — on April 19, 2022 — he took his own life in an East Sussex park. The nearby suicide note read, “I’m sorry, mum.”
“Jason’s emotional and mental health needs were inadequately assessed and provided for,” a jury at the aforementioned court ruled this week, declaring that both the police and NHS inadequately handled the teenager’s needs. The medical clinic that referred him to Tavistock made no note of his history of self-harm, submitted his referral on a medical form meant for adult patients, and didn’t show Pulman’s general practitioner before submitting the form (even though the doctor’s name appeared on it), The Telegraph reported.
“Systemic communication and administrative failures by all of the organizations involved in his care… may possibly have been contributing factors,” the court ruled. Both the police force and NHS have issued apologies, the BBC reported.
What is even worse is that the clinic Jason was referred to - the only one in the country catering for under 18s - has since closed and no replacement is forthcoming as the NHS (urged on by the outgoing Conservative government) increasingly restricts trans healthcare.
The U.K.’s restrictions on gender-affirming care are expected to worsen as the NHS recently closed the over-burdened Tavistock clinic. While 210 trans youth were referred to Tavistock’s GIDS from 2011 to 2012, that number rose to 3,500 referrals in 2021 and 2022, Pink News reported. The NHS also recently ordered all adult clinics to deny services to any clients younger than 18 and also told clinics to stop prescribing puberty blockers to minors, leaving many without a way to quickly receive care.
The NHS’ orders follow the recent release of the Cass Review, a 400-page review of oft-cited research on gender-affirming care for minors. The review concluded that there’s little reliable evidence showing positive outcomes from such care, but outraged trans activists say it excluded hundreds of studies showing such outcomes.
Trans rights advocates worry the Cass Review will give conservative political leaders a pretext for ending gender-affirming care for minors and younger adults. Indeed, the review urged “extreme caution” before giving minors puberty blockers or hormone replacement therapy and championed the use of psychological therapy instead. The review also said that “life-changing” decisions on gender-affirming care should be put off until adulthood since the brain continues maturing into age 26.
Every major medical and mental health association in the U.S. has endorsed gender-affirming care, including puberty blockers, as evidence-based, safe, and necessary for the treatment of gender dysphoria in young people.
“There has been an epidemic of suicides in the UK of trans youth as a result of care being restricted,” queer civil rights lawyer Alejandra Caraballo recently wrote via X. She cited recent media reports of Alice Litman, a 20-year-old trans woman who died by suicide after spending 1,000 days on NHS waiting lists, as well as Charlie Miller, a 17-year-old trans boy who died by suicide after being denied medical care due to his other alleged mental illnesses.
Pulman’s mother said, “We hope CAMHS [Counseling and Mental Health Services] will be properly resourced. We hope the police will learn how to risk assess, and not set the bar too high… Above all, we hope the government will stop toxifying this whole issue, and just look at the children.”
“He was a kid that wanted to change the world, that wanted to fight for causes he believed in… He was just so genuine and just wanted everyone to be happy and feel comfortable, which is what he wanted as well.”
In July 2025 it was reported that Jason's parents are to sue Sussex Police in the High Court over the force's inadequate response to him going missing.
Emily and Mark Pulman are now suing Sussex Police over an alleged breach of human rights, with around 10 hours passing between Jason being reported missing and an officer first attending their family home.
They claim the force “failed properly or at all to protect Jason against the risk of suicide” after he was graded only a “medium risk”, and that there was a “real prospect of a different outcome” if there was a “reasonable response” to Jason’s disappearance.
They also say the force is “flip-flopping” over its position and whether it has learned from Jason’s death.
Sussex Police has expressed its “sincere condolences” to Jason’s family.
Speaking to the PA news agency, the couple said Jason’s death, the subsequent inquest and legal battle had been “devastating”.
Mrs Pulman, 39, said: “If the police can actually take accountability for what has happened and what went wrong, that is the only way they can start making changes.”
The inquest into Jason's death is scheduled to open in April 2026.

São José de Espinharas, Paraíba (Brazil)
Stabbed
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/19-Apr-2022/Renata Ferraz
Renata's body was found on a side road near the PB-275 highway. She had earlier left her home saying she was going out to a party with friends.
The body of 16-year-old Renata Cavalcante, who was found dead on the banks of the PB-275 highway, was released from forensic analysis and buried under strong commotion, on the afternoon of this Thursday (21), in the Belo Horizonte neighborhood, in Patos, in the Sera da Paraíba.
As learned by Notícia Paraíba, Renata disappeared after saying that she was going to a party with friends last Saturday night (16th), and, as the teenager did not usually leave the house and stay out for so long without news, worried family members registered a police report about her disappearance, on Monday (18).
The Civil Police began an investigation process and found the young woman dead last Tuesday (19), on the banks of the state highway which connects Patos to the Municipality of São José de Espinharas. Her body was already showing signs of decomposition.
Renata's body underwent forensic examinations at the Instituto de Polícia Científica (IPC) in Cajazeiras and was buried at around 4 pm, this Thursday, in a municipal cemetery, with commotion from family and friends.
A suspect was arrested on Sunday 24th April.
The Civil Police, through the Homicide and Narcotics Police Station (DHE), arrested, this Sunday (24), a suspect involved in the death of 16-year-old transsexual [woman] Renata Ferraz, whose body was found on state highway PB-275, between Patos and São José de Espinharas on the afternoon of April 19.
According to delegate Carlos Seabra, the police carried out search and seizure warrants in the São Sebastião neighborhood, where the vehicle used to take the victim to the place where her body was abandoned was found. The car was examined, and a temporary arrest warrant served against one of those being investigated for the crime, who was at home, in the Belo Horizonte neighborhood in the city of Patos.
In June 2024 Geovane de Lima Galdino Silva was sentenced to 28 years in prison for Renata's qualified murder. Part of the sentence was added because the murder was a femicide.

Tiffany Landino Bracho Viloria

Valledupar, Cesar (Colombia)
Stabbed
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/17-Apr-2022/Tiffany Landino Bracho
Tiffany was stabbed, allegedly by another member of her community in a dispute over sex work territory.
A member of the LGBTI community was murdered at 2:30 am on Sunday in the municipality of Valledupar, specifically in the vicinity of the Public Market, allegedly in a dispute over control of the territory where she offered sexual services,
The victim was identified as [deadname] Landino, 22, known as 'Tiffany', who was stabbed in the chest by another member of the LGBTI community, according to initial reports of the incident.
'Tiffany', who was a Venezuelan national who had not been in the city of Valledupar long, was apparently working in the sector and was chased by the aggressor, from whom she tried but failed to escape. She was immediately taken to the Santa Isabel clinic, where she died from the stab wound.
"The victim offered escort services in the popular market sector, and was aware of personal problems with another person from the LGBTI community, because she was new to the sector where she offered such services," the police report indicates.
Yuliana Ángel, legal representative of Trans Women and Sex Workers in Cesar, stated that lately acts of intolerance have been occurring frequently in Valledupar, so they seek to work in coordination with municipal administrations to protect the population.
Unfortunately, the attacks on this population are recurrent and the authorities do not take action on the matter, mainly considering that the majority are migrants and there are no care policies for them.
"We have put a magnifying glass on the Mayor's Office of Valledupar, so that it works in an area of ??tolerance, and these women are of migrant quality, but we have not been able to advance, they have turned their backs on us and there are no alternatives for them, who daily they are exposed in places of high danger,” he said.
Tiffany, a Venezuelan trans migrant woman, was killed in Valledupar Cesar.
There are already 8 of our trans sisters killed in 2022 in Colombia, until when we have to expect the state to look and work for the safety of everyone. Not one more, we are a big diverse family.

Ace Scott
Age 1515 Apr 2022
Kansas City, Missouri (USA)
Not reported
Ace was found dead in an abandoned lot near residences north of W. 9th Street and Central Avenue. A neighbor called police after discovering the 15-year-old’s body.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The authorities have confirmed that a body found in KCK on April 15 was that of Ace Scott, a transgender teenager.
The Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department said his body was found in an abandoned lot near residences north of W. 9th Street and Central Avenue.
A neighbor called police after discovering the 15-year-old’s body.
According to a child death summary document from the Kansas Department for Children and Families, Scott was a transgender male who had been in state custody since 2017 with the goal of getting him adopted.
“While in care, he experienced placement instability, including run episodes,” Kansas DCF said. They said he was on the run from March 25 through 26. When he was located on March 26, he was taken to the hospital for “concerns related to a known medical condition.” Then, he was discharged on April 11.
That same day, while awaiting placement, Scott ran away from the Cornerstones of Care office. Cornerstones of Care is a child placing agency, which the DCF defines as a “social service agency which receives children for services including placement in residential programs or in foster family homes, or for adoption.”
The DCF said local law enforcement looked for him for several days. Ultimately, however, Scott was found dead in KCK.
His cause of death has not yet been determined.
The Kansas Department for Children and Families released the following statement regarding Scott’s death:
I am so deeply saddened by the passing of Ace Scott, and a life cut so tragically short.
My sincere condolences go out to all those who knew and loved Ace – family, friends, and all who had the chance to know and care about him.
My hope is that memories of Ace provide comfort during this difficult time.
Know too that DCF is taking all actions at our disposal to better understand the circumstances of this case and to identify the types of services or supports that might prevent a tragedy like this from happening in the future.
- Secretary Laura Howard

The victim was shot in the back on Itaparica beach. According to a witness her assailant was a man who had just argued with her.
A [trans woman] was shot in the back, on Avenida José Júlio de Souza, one of the busiest on Itaparica beach, in Vila Velha. The crime happened on the night of this Friday (15).

The body of the victim was found in a residence in the Damank Thom area of Phnom Penh on Friday 15th April. Their identity is not known.
Police are searching for a man suspected of murdering a transgender person by strangulation in their rental room in Phnom Pehn’s Meanchey district in Stung Meanchey III commune.
The murder took place on April 15 on the outskirts of Phnom Penh in the commune’s Damank Thom village.
Commune police deputy chief Captain Lay Narith said yesterday that the owner of the rental property inspected the room at 5.30pm after discovering a strong smell emanating from inside the room while the door was locked from the inside. He said that after opening the door, the owner saw the body dead and decomposing on a bed.
He stated that the owner alerted local police and a police officer went to inspect the room and victim’s body that evening.
“According to the examination of the victim’s body, [they were] killed by strangulation and died in the bed,” Cap Narith said. “After killing [them], the suspect took the victim’s valuables, locked the door from the inside and fled,” he said.
He stated that according to the owner, the victim rented the room in February. They regularly brought a man to stay in the room. He said that the victim disappeared and their room was locked from the inside on April 15 during the celebration of Khmer New Year. [They were] found dead on Sunday evening.

Stabbed
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/12-Apr-2022/Fern Feather
Fern's body was found by the side of the road on the morning of Tuesday 12th April. Seth Brunell, 43, has been charged with second-degree murder.
The body of 29-year-old Fern Feather, a white trans woman was discovered on Tuesday morning on the side of Duhamel Road near Cadys Falls Road in Morristown, Vermont. The autopsy determined the cause of death was a stab wound to the chest, and the manner of death was homicide. She is the 12th US victim of the campaign of terror traumatizing the trans community in the nation and around the world.
The suspect Seth Brunell, 43 is in police custody. He was sighted by police with Fern in a vehicle just a few hours before her body was discovered, according to Patch.com (Link includes deadnaming and misgendering.) Brunell is claiming self-defense, but police say there is no physical evidence to support that allegation.
Fern’s friends are overwhelmingly shocked, commenting on their gentle nature and kind heart. A co-worker posted
Fern was part of my sweet, weird, fun-loving Salt Café family. We dressed however we wanted — Fern in flowey garb with feathers in their hair; William in skirts and a squirrel tail — and served the Vermontiest farm-to-table food to politicians, farmers, New York Times journalists, culinary school kids, lawyers, the singer Jewel’s mom, visitors from Australia, and so on.
Fern was the best at making citrus plates: they’d form mandalas of the fruit slices — in a different formation every time — for customers to add to their glasses of ice water. For one menu, Fern “invented” mushroom-stuffed-mushrooms, and was delighted when it was the week’s most popular item.
Then-governor Shumlin was a regular at Salt, and Fern was always so tickled when Peter recognized them on the streets of Montpelier, and greeted them with a shout and a wave. “The governor said hello to me today,” they’d report upon showing up for work.
Fern had lived an adventurous life, traveling around the country, and recently announcing her transition in late March. Just a few weeks ago.
"It’s time to tell the world I’m a Hot Trans Woman in a currently male Hot Body Suit !! dang sure took long enough eh ?! Please share this to liberate our other beautiful ones !"
Born in Montpelier, Vermont, Fern graduated from Lake Region Unified High School District 24 and worked at Salt Cafe. Her Facebook page is overflowing with nature-themed photos, memes, and posts. Clearly, she was deeply connected to the natural world. It was easy for this blogger to get lost in her timeline amidst the many amazing images.
Subsequently Seth Brunell, 43, was arrested for Fern's murder.
HYDE PARK, Vt. (WCAX) - The man accused of murdering a transgender woman last month in Morristown will remain behind bars.
Seth Brunell, 43, pleaded not guilty last month to second-degree murder in the stabbing death of 29-year-old Fern Feather of Hinesburg. According to court documents, Brunell spent several days with Feather and he claimed Feather made a sexual advance. Brunell claimed he stabbed Feather in self-defense on April 12, but police say there’s no evidence of that attack.
His lawyer argued Monday in court that Brunell should be released while awaiting trial. Prosecutors disagreed, saying he is a danger to the community and a flight risk.
The judge agreed and he’ll continue to be held without bail.
Brunell is due to stand trial in July 2024.

Suicide
Felis died by suicide after experiencing bullying by her classmates.
A teenager died yesterday after falling from the 22nd floor of an apartment building in Chisinay. No signs of violent death were discovered on the body, but no suicide note was found either. Angelica Frolov, coordinator of the LGBT Rights Lobby and Advocacy Program at the GENDERDOC-M Center, posted on Facebook saying that the transgender teenager who committed suicide had experienced bullying and abuse from her colleagues.
A ruling party lawmaker said that the law must change after a transgender teenager who was bullied by her classmates committed suicide in the Moldovan capital Chisinau.
Dan Perciun, an MP from the pro-European Action and Solidarity Party, said on Wednesday that legislation must change to prevent bullying and other abuses against the LGBT community after a 16-year-old who had been bullied and humiliated by classmates committed suicide.
“The case of the transgender girl who committed suicide after being seriously humiliated by her classmates demonstrates the urgent need to finalise the regulatory framework on combating bullying and holding abusers accountable,” said Perciun.
The teenager jumped to her death from the 22nd floor of an apartment building in Chisinau, according to a preliminary investigation by the police.
The news of her suicide was made public by Chisinau-based NGO Genderdoc-M, which fights discrimination against the LGBT community in Moldova. “With immense pain and sadness, we found out that one of our beneficiaries decided to take her life. She was part of the Transgender Support Group and the Adolescent Support Group,” the NGO wrote on its Facebook page.
The NGO did not specify the exact reason why the teenager took own her life, but said it has previously issued a statement about a child who was “systematically harassed because of her gender identity”. “Our heart aches for her mother, who was struggling to help her get through this difficult period,” said the head of Genderdoc-M, Angelica Frolov.
The police and Education Ministry opened an investigation in February 2022 after a 16-year-old transgender teenager was beaten and publicly humiliated by her classmates.
MP Perciun said that sexism, homophobia and aggression are unfortunately commonplace in Moldovan society. “We must do more to protect victims, provide them with the necessary assistance and inform society,” he added.

Crislaine was found dead from a gunshot wound to the face by police shortly after telling friends that she was going out to do survival sex work.
The authorities arrested an 18-year-old man for her killing but released him soon after due to lack of evidence.
A woman was found dead with gunshot wounds to her face, on the night of this Sunday (3), on a corner in Serra, in Grande Vitória.
The crime took place on Rua Leôncio Monjardim, in the Guaraciaba neighborhood. The victim was identified as Crislaine dos Santos, 45 years old. She lived alone in the same neighborhood.
Residents said they heard about five shots. A housewife who has a farm on the street where the crime took place said that her grandchildren were playing in the backyard at the time of the incident.
"My granddaughter almost had a stroke, she was screaming, crying. 'Grandma, I've never seen that! I want my mother'. She started screaming. I was terrified. I've never seen that around here", said the housewife.
Residents called the Military Police and reported a description of the man who had shot. When they arrived at the crime scene, in addition to finding the woman's body and the residents involved, the military noticed a man in a red cap and gray shirt who fitted the description given by the residents. When they approached him he became restless, according to police. He was taken to the Serra Regional Police Station for questioning.
According to the Civil Police, the suspect is 18 years old, was heard and released after the police authority decided that there were no evidence to support an arrest.
Chrislaine had lived in the area for about a decade. At one point she had detransitioned because her son was not happy with her transition.
According to the source heard by the report, Crislaine had [detransistioned] and even altered documents to reflect that, but had regretted it.
“She found out that she had a son in Colatina and it seems that she saw this son. He seems to have charged her that he didn't want her as a woman. But she said she wasn't happy. I told her to do what would make her feel happy," said the source, who declined to be identified.
Crislaine had suffered in life. According to her friend, she lived in an orphanage, had no family and had been shot in the head three years earlier. She managed to recover and went back to her routine, but used drugs and drank.
Despite being a drug user, those who knew the young woman do not believe that the crime may be related to addiction. According to her friends, that is because she always paid for the narcotics she bought and didn't get into debt with drug dealers.

Shelony died in hospital two days after being shot in the face in a nearby house. Her family believes that she was attacked because she was LGBT+.
Shelony Viloria, a 22-year-old trans woman, was attacked in El Bagre on April 1, 2022, an attack that ended up causing her death on Sunday. Her mother fired her on Tuesday and sent a message to those responsible for the crime.
Last Friday afternoon Shelony Viloria was attacked with a firearm, which caused her to spend days in critical condition in a medical center in Montería, until she finally died.
Caracol Radio spoke with her mother, who was carrying out Shelony Viloria's funeral on Tuesday morning. According to her, the fact that caused the death of her daughter was not the only one she suffered, since last year she had to flee from El Bagre because she had received threats for being a trans woman.
The victim's mother stated that regardless of her preferences and how she identified herself, she always accepted her [daughter], even defending her from homophobic attacks.
“To those people may God forgive them and may divine justice be done for what they did with my son. I'm just going to try to pray and pray and ask God a lot to forgive those people who did this to me," said Shelony's mother.
In October 2022 Jesús Alberto Tovar Palomino, 27, was arrested for her murder and that of Ruby Andrea Tavares Areiza, 35.
The motive or motives for two crimes that terrorized the municipality of Bagre, Antioquia, last April, remain a mystery. The only thing certain is that a man from Maganguel was captured by the Bolívar Police on Wednesday and is now in the hands of justice.
The apprehended is Jesús Alberto Tovar Palomino, 27, accused of murdering [deadname] Zapata Viloria, 21, with a bullet. The young [woman] was known as 'Riqui pa riqui' and belonged to the Lgbtiq+ community. Four days later he also killed Ruby Andrea Tavares Areiza, 35, with three bullets.
The authorities had been after Jesus, who was known by the alias 'el Cole', since April but he had fled from Bagre in an unknown direction. That was, until Wednesday, when soldiers found him in a popular neighborhood of Magangué where he thought he would outwit justice.
Tovar Palomino was left at the disposal of the Prosecutor's Office for the crimes of aggravated homicide and manufacture, trafficking, carrying or possession of firearms, accessories, parts or ammunition.

Ariyanna Mitchell
Age 17 (born 16 Sep 2004)2 Apr 2022
Hampton, Virginia (USA)
Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/02-Apr-2022/Ariyanna Mitchell
Ariyanna was shot and killed after intervening in a fight during a house party. The suspect in her death, Jimmy Leshawn Williams, allegedly shot Ariyanna during an argument her friend and his girlfriend.
HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) — A little over a week ago, family and friends gathered on Wine Street in Hampton to remember 17-year-old [Deadname] Mitchell, who was shot and killed April 2. The memorial still stands in the neighborhood.
10 On Your Side spoke to a friend of the victim, who didn’t want to be on camera. The friend identifies as a transgender woman and said Mitchell did as well. “She always has a big smile on her face. Always had one. Always had one,” said Mitchell’s friend.
Over the weekend, police arrested 19-year-old Norfolk resident, Jimmy Leshawn Williams and charged him with murder. The friend said the shooting stemmed from a fight at a party in Norfolk earlier that night. She said the fight was between her and Williams’ girlfriend — and that the bullet was meant for her, not Mitchell.
“[Williams’ girlfriend] was going to get her boyfriend to come shoot me and everybody in this house,” the friend said.
Court documents say police were able to identify Williams as the suspect through an eyewitness of the shooting. Documents say that witness said Williams pulled up on Wine Street in his girlfriend’s car. Williams then allegedly got out of the car carrying an assault rifle.
Williams then claimed there was a planned fight. Documents say he asked Mitchell who was fighting. Mitchell claimed to be one of those involved. Paperwork says the witness told police Williams asked if Mitchell was a boy or a girl. Documents say Mitchell replied a boy, and that’s when Williams shot Mitchell multiple times. The gun matching the caliber of the cartridge casings located at the scene was found in a car parked by Mitchell’s body.
Mitchell’s friend said it should have never gotten to this point, and now she lives on edge wondering if there’s still a hit out on her. “My whole thing is learn to go about things different. Your first instinct shouldn’t be ‘Get ’em, get ’em, get ’em’ — no,” the friend said.
Williams also faces receipt of a stolen firearm and concealed weapons charges in Chesapeake stemming from an incident six days after the homicide. Documents say police pulled him over for running a stop sign and found a stolen gun from Portsmouth under the driver’s seat. He faces similar stolen gun charges in Norfolk from an incident in December 2021. He was scheduled to appear in Chesapeake General District Court Monday morning, but that was continued until April 13.

Fernanda's body was found in the street by a police patrol at around 5:30am on Wednesday 30th March.
Concordia woke up this Wednesday with an overwhelming hate crime. This time, it was Fernanda, a 33-year-old trans girl.
Reliable sources told EL SOL daily that Fernanda was found lying on the ground, precisely on the corner of Tala and Urdinarrain streets (Pompeya Sur neighborhood) by police personnel who patrolled the place around 5:30 today.
The uniformed men noticed that there was a body at the scene and that, as they approached, they noticed that it was covered in blood. Although they immediately called an ambulance from 107 and Fernanda was transferred to the Masvernat hospital, it was found that she arrived dead.
Fernanda, also known as "La Ferchu" was identified as [deadname] Lopez because she had not yet made a gender change on her ID.

Marcela Gomes Fonseca
Age 1730 Mar 2022
Juína, Mato Grosso (Brazil)
Suicide
Marcela passed away at home. Reportedly she had experienced prejudice from others since coming out.
A 17-year-old trans teenager was found dead by her mother inside her home on Wednesday afternoon (30), in Juína (740 kilometers from Cuiabá). The young woman had been suffering prejudice because of her gender identity.
According to the incident report, when the police arrived at the residence, located in Module 6, they found the mother “disturbed”. The woman said she left the house and when she returned, she found her daughter hanged with a rope around her neck. Politec (Official Expert for Technical Identification) was called and carried out the on-site expertise procedures.
The young woman was a 3rd year high school student integrated into the IFMT Commerce course - Juína campus.
The institution expressed itself through a note and mourned the death of the young woman. “The academic community expresses its condolences to the family, colleagues and friends,” the note reads.
The board declared official mourning for a day on the Campus “as a sign of regret at the death of the student”.
The State Union of Students of Mato Grosso also mourned the death of the young woman.
“In this moment of sadness, we sympathize with family and friends and reaffirm our fight against LGBTphobia, which takes the lives of countless LGBTQIA + subjects every day”, says an excerpt from the publication.
“Marcela, your voice will never be silenced”, they added.

Mirza-Hélène Deneuve ("Julles")
Age 26 (born 7 Oct 1995)28 Mar 2022
Le Havre, Seine-Maritime (France)
Suicide
Mirza was the founder of Transgrrrls and a leader in advocating for the rights and lives of trans women in France.
On March 28, Mirza-Hélène Deneuve killed herself. Many tributes have already been written and are circulating on social networks; however, it seems important to us, current or historical members of Transgrrrls, to dedicate a new one to her.
It was Mirza who created the Transgrrrls blog and the collective of the same name in the summer of 2018. Noting that there were few resources in French at the time about political issues relating to transfemininities, she had the ambition to produce these, whether by translating texts from others or by writing their own. So she set to work over the next two years, and to sign more than half of the blog articles of her various pseudonyms: Sister Mirza-Hélène, Mirza D., Ernest, Mahleneriez, Jules.
Creator and main contributor to the blog, present in the demonstrations as well as on all the zine stands of the events to which we were invited, Mirza was Transgrrrls. With her gone, definitely, it's a blog page that turns.
Beyond the blog, these are words, ideas, radical energies that continue to cross transfeminist, materialist and transpédégouine circles today. As the vials of liquid estradiol circulate more and more, Kissing the Trans Girls is enthusiastically shared in squats as well as in family planning centers and LGBTI centres; some protest signs feature Andrea Dworkin. Soon, we will read Minnie Bruce Pratt in French.
In the meantime, let's read together this poem by Kai Cheng Thom that Mirza had translated in 2020 and which remains sadly relevant:
you know, fem,
sometimes I'm so mad at you for being dead,
I could curse you / I could whine,
I could write your name on my arms, with fire and blades,
if it meant you would come back to keep me from hurting myself
(is it possible that the poetry of self-harm, self-effacement, sacrifice and martyrdom
is the only language we really shared)
I know it's selfish / I don't care / did you think of me?
and to the world of other trans girls that you left in the countryside
when you joined
The Eternal Chorus of Sad Trans Girls in Heaven? you piss off,
I needed you here, your feet in the dust
with us / I needed your breath, to remember how much / I needed your rage your art your ecstasy your violent wisdom
I needed your survival to ensure mine,
I needed a flesh and blood sister, someone who would paint my nails and yell at me
not a Dead Spiritual Ancestor to poetize /
fuck poetry, if it doesn't keep us alive,
fuck art and stories, if
it's all just an echo chamber reminding us all the time
that we are going to die,
I'm tired of the language of mourning
and I'm tired of being angry,
it's like all i can do is share these feelings & get likes,
I can talk and talk and all these words can't save anyone,
someone/anyone sing me a song of hope and life
that someone / anyone,
teaches me the art of resurrection,
i keep meeting women only after they die,
like a fairy tale character following a trail made of
flesh and bone
someone save me from (your)/our heritage, from this paved road
glitter and death,
please someone save me
like i didn't save you
By all accounts Mirza left behind huge legacy in France and she is sorely missed. The following tribute to her was received by email:
What follows is the note left by her friends over at trrransgrrrls.wordpress.com (The website and organisation she created), translated by me (Magimilienne)
Original link (in French): https://trrransgrrrls.wordpress.com/2022/04/15/pour-mirza/
‘On March 28th, Mirza-Hélène Deneuve took her own life.
Lots of tribute posts have already been made on social media; but it still felt important to us, actual or past members of Transgrrrls, that we dedicated her one.
Mirza indeed founded the Transgrrrls blog and association in the summer of 2018. Noticing there were so few French resources related to political challenges related to transness (specifically trans women), she deeply wanted to create these same resources, either by translating already existing articles or writing her own. Following this, she worked relentlessly during the following two years, and she signed over half the blog’s articles under her different pseudonyms: Sœur Mirza-Hélène, Mirza D., Ernest, Mahleneriez and Julles.
Being the main creator and contributor, she attended many demonstrations and was on the zine stands in every event where we were invited. Mirza was Transgrrrls. Now, with her being now gone forever, a page is turned for us.
But it all goes much further than just the blog. It’s all about the words, the ideas, the radical energies that keep on influencing the transfem, materialist and queer environments. As the liquid estrogen flasks circulate more and more, ‘Baiser des meufs trans’ is still vividly shared, as well in the squats as in the Planned Parenthood clinics and LGBTI+ centres; some demonstration signs even reference Andrea Dworkin. Soon we’ll even read Minnie Bruce Pratt in French.’

Kai Khan
Age 18 (born 4 Jun 2003)27 Mar 2022
Great Bend, Kansas (USA)
Suicide
Kai died by suicide in the dorm of his college.
This is Kai. Kai was born June 4, 2003. I met Kai a couple of days after I moved into the Barton Community College dorms. We clicked instantly. Kai was funny, kind, and all-around a great person. We ate lunch together almost every day and even took composition one together. Honestly, he was a good person, and I will say that until my dying breath. Unfortunately, others did not think he was because of the way Kai identified himself. Kai was transgender. If you don't know this about me, I fully support the LGBTQ+ community and will say it with my entire chest.
I believe that love is love and to be your true self. I admit that as soon as I transferred to hutch Kai, I lost touch, but that didn't make him any less of a friend to me.
Unfortunately, Kai committed suicide in his dorm at Barton Community College on March 27, 2022.
Kai was studying to be an MLT but also wanted to be a nurse. He was apparently scared of how people would treat him for being trans, or that people would refuse his care.

Coconut
26 Mar 2022
Mardan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Pakistan)
Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/26-Mar-2022/Coconut
Coconut and another trans woman named Sulimany were both shot from a passing vehicle while returning home. Coconut succumbed to her injuries.
MARDAN: One transgender person was shot dead and another injured when unknown motorcyclists opened fire on their car near the Museum building located here on Mardan-Charsadda road.
Officials of Saddar police station said on Saturday that the firing incident took place on Friday midnight. One transgender person identified as [deadname] alias Coconut died on the spot while the other named [deadname] alias Wara was taken to the Mardan Medical Complex Hospital with bullet injuries for necessary treatment.
The police quoted the injured [deadname] alias Wara as saying that they along with other transgender persons were on their way back to Mardan from Charsadda district after attending a music function when the incident happened. [Deadname] told police that two unknown armed persons riding on a motorcycle opened fire on their car when their vehicle was passing near the Mardan Museum building.
[She] said that they did not know the attackers as they had no enmity or dispute with anyone. The police said they lodged an FIR against unknown killers on the complaint of the injured person and had started investigations to trace and arrest the real perpetrators of the crime.
On 18th March the National Commission for Human Rights issued a letter to the Inspector General of Police in the state ordering a report into the murder and hate crimes against transgender people in the province.

— National Commission for Human Rights (@nchrofficial) March 18, 2022
Three attackers were subsequently arrested and one of them confessed to the murder. He said that Coconut was killed by accident - the actual target of the attack was another trans woman named Warha, who had lodged a police report against him.
The officer said that the arrest of Shah Zeb and Atif, residents of Mardan district, and Asadullah, a resident of Swabi district, became possible after investigation was conducted on scientific lines.
Shah Zeb confessed before the cops during investigation that another transgender Salman alias Warha had lodged a report in police station against him, which is why he wanted to take revenge on her for “causing disrepute to him via police case.”

TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/26-Mar-2022/Kenyatta 'Kesha' Webster
Kesha was found dead on Saturday 26th March. Her death is under investigation with family telling the media it was a ‘robbery-homicide’.
Kesha Webster was found dead on Charleston Drive in Jackson, Mississipi on Saturday, March 26, 2022. Her death is under investigation with family telling the media it was a ‘robbery-homicide’ but no further information from local law enforcement. I haven’t been able to find any media reports of the incident itself.
Kesha’s mother wants to raise the profile of her child’s life and death. Please note that most existing media coverage uses Kesha’s dead name and mixes pronouns.
”Everybody share it all on Facebook,” said Kesha’s mom, Sharon Taylor. “All over Facebook. Let it go out, because I want justice for my baby. Because she was loved. She had plenty of love. She didn’t deserve that. She ain’t no dog, no rag or dirt. She’s gonna get justice.”
Ms. Taylor is the fierce mom everyone deserves. While I am so sad for broken heart, I hope she finds comfort knowing that her love for her daughter made a difference.
A vigil was held for Kesha on Friday 1st April.
JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Friday night, family and friends gathered to celebrate the life of a loved one who was taken from them too soon.
More than a hundred people attended the balloon release honoring Kenyatta Webster, who went by Kesha.
Family members say Webster was found dead on Charleston Drive Saturday morning. Now, the family is seeking justice and those who were close to Webster say they are shocked and heartbroken.
”Everybody share it all on Facebook,” said Kenyatta’s mom, Sharon Taylor. “All over Facebook. Let it go out, because I want justice for my baby. Because she was loved. She had plenty of love. She didn’t deserve that. She ain’t no dog, no rag or dirt. She’s gonna get justice.”

Quinn Mowrer Gustin
Age 20 (born 13 Jan 2002)24 Mar 2022
Salt Lake City, Utah (USA)
Suicide
Quinn died by suicide.
Quinn Mowrer Gustin’s mom says Quinn loved animals more than anything. She had an affinity for stray cats, and would regularly feed them. She was always there for her friends, and always knew how to make the people around her laugh. She was unapologetically trans and queer. She was always willing to defend anyone from the hatred of the world. Quinn lost her battle with mental health on March 24.
[Editor's Note: We don't know where Quinn passed away, but as she was from Salt Lake CIty that is the location given on this page.]
Her family were supportive, but as every trans person knows, there is nearly always someone who you once trusted who lets you down. The following (extracted from an article by her mum written 5 months before her death) tells a heartening but heartbreakingly familiar story:
November of 2017, my kiddo told me she was transgender and was a girl. This actually didn’t shock me at all – or even register too big. I kind of assumed it was a phase because of the boyfriend, but she had been prepping me over time so it wasn’t hard to hear. Honestly, I heard it but didn’t even register. I didn’t realize until about two years later that it had been her coming out moment! She didn’t feel the need to “keep it a secret” and said we could tell anyone we wanted – which, at the time, was no one!
The next month, we traveled to spend Christmas with family. I decided that my family members were the realest friends I had and I should “prep” them so that our now daughter could come out to them. The reaction from my in-laws was textbook awesome and they were SO compassionate and supportive. I went for a ride with two of my siblings and told them and they also were amazing. They expressed concern for my wellbeing but loved my kiddo unconditionally. They didn’t know anything about transgender people, but loved my daughter enough that it didn’t even matter.
Seems like a dream come true – but not quite. The hardest part came later that afternoon with our family gathering of about 20 (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc). One family member, who didn’t know about my kiddo yet, because time hadn’t allowed, started talking about the “weird” cashier at the local grocery store and how they were so uncomfortable because they don’t know if “it” was a He or She. The conversation went on and on in the most horribly transphobic fashion regardless of how many times I tried to subtly steer it in a more positive way. I hadn’t yet learned to breath fire and was more worried that my kiddo had left the room when the conversation started, than I was about teaching those making the terrible remarks how damaging they were. To this day, my child prefers to not be with this family member because she feels she saw their true colors before they knew she was transgender. It didn’t matter that I had tried to stand up for trans people – my daughter was crying and angry (at me, because she could) for not being a strong enough ally for the checker who was being persecuted behind their back. My fire had been lit and I vowed never to allow that in my presence from anyone.
That fall, she was using the new name with everyone and asked all of her teachers to call her Quinn. She presented exclusively female. She broke up with the toxic boyfriend. One day, I was approached by the yearbook teacher and asked how they should list her in the yearbook. I said I thought she would prefer to be called Quinn – but I would confirm. I casually mentioned it to Quinn and asked what she wanted. She sat up from lounging gloomily on the couch and with a look of awe and wonderment asked if I really would allow her to be listed as Quinn.
You know those moments where it feels like the clouds clear, the heavens shine down radiant heavenly beams, and the angels are singing because there is PURE JOY on your child’s face? This was that moment for us! After all of the pain and turmoil and hurt, this was our moment. It was the look on your child’s face the first time they see fireworks explode in the night sky, or on Christmas morning when piles of presents have appeared, or the magical look of true love. I would never be Public Enemy #1 again, and she would be Quinn forever.
Yes, she could be listed as Quinn and once again – it was us against the world.
We fought the fight against dysphoria together. I cried with her when she didn’t recognize her own reflection as herself. I never complained when she would shower in the dark or run the steamy shower for way too long so she couldn’t see her reflection in the mirror. I waxed her eyebrows, upper lip, and armpits. I helped her get eyelash extensions and learn to straighten her hair. I still try hard to understand why sleeping in jeans is emotionally the safest, even though I don’t “get it”. After many ups and downs, in April of 2019, after she decided to graduate a year early, we decided to look into hormone options. We found a terrific doctor who really worked to educate us and help us make the best decisions. The day she got her first prescription for testosterone blockers and estrogen shots – we celebrated! It was the best day of her life up to that point!!!
Rest in power, Quinn.

Yessi Montero
Age 2724 Mar 2022
Nautla, Veracruz (Mexico)
Tortured and shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/24-Mar-2022/Yessi Montero
Yessi's mutilated body was found handcuffed alongside a highway on the outskirts of Cuatro Caminos on Thursday 24th March.
Yessi Montero, a 34-year-old trans woman, was reported missing and on March 24 they found her lifeless body with signs of torture on the side of a highway in Veracruz. That same day, a 34-year-old trans woman, whose name is unknown, was murdered on a public highway in the state of Oaxaca. More than a thousand kilometers from there, in Colima, 22-year-old Yaneth 'N' was murdered at her home on April 3. All three women had gunshot wounds.
The Veracruz activist, Jazz Bustamante, told in an interview for Presentes that so far this year seven crimes have been committed due to prejudice in Veracruz, "four against transgender people and three against gay [men]," she explains. In Oaxaca there are two transfeminicides, according to press reports. In Colima, journalist Roberto Macías reported for El Punto Informativo that Yaneth's murder is the first transfemicide of the year in that state.
The request for justice of these trans women has been kept in a low profile. Regarding this, Jazz Bustamante clarifies that both families and human rights defenders "are afraid to raise their voices" because they face hyper-local contexts where "the law of criminal cells" permeates.
And he adds, “that does not mean that the victims do not have the support of their communities, they do have it, sometimes also from their families, from the same people from the sexual dissidents of those localities, but it is very difficult that in that context they go out to demonstrate to demand justice because their own safety is at stake.”
Yessi was a waitress and did not do sex work. Local media misgendered her and erased her identity.
Yessi Montero was a waitress, she was 27 years old and was originally from the coastal municipality of Vega de Alatorre, Veracruz. Her family reported her disappearance and on March 24, 26 kilometers from her city of origin, in a stretch of plots in the town of Cuatro Caminos (municipality of Nautla), she was found dead; her body had signs of torture.
“The press reported everything as if it were a man and did not see it as relevant that she was a trans woman. I saw it as relevant to tell and make his identity visible and that she was a visible trans woman in his community. I also saw it as relevant to tell how she was murdered because it was a hate crime and to determine it as such it is important to talk about the aggravating causes, the cruelty and advantage over her gender identity. Yessi Montero was tortured, her genitals were cut off, she was given the 'coup de grace', what other proof do they want that it was a hate crime?”.

The desire of Estrellita Saltos Robalino or [deadname], the name with which she was registered in the Civil Registry, was to own her own hairdressing salon.

He worked driving a tricycle and every night he would pick her up at her place of work," said the young woman.

Priscila Santos ("Priscila Diva")
Age 2922 Mar 2022
Mairiporã, São Paulo (Brazil)
Murdered
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/22-Mar-2022/Priscila Santos
Priscila's body was found in a state of decomposition in the Mairiporã dam on Tuesday 22nd March. She had been missing since Thursday 17th March.
“Justice for Priscilla”. That's what the posters spread by the hands of friends and family during the funeral of Priscila Santos, known as Priscila Diva, said.
The 29-year-old trans woman and resident of the Perus neighborhood in the northwest region of the city of São Paulo, was found dead last Tuesday (22/3) in the municipality of Mairiporã, in the metropolitan region. She was last seen on Thursday (17/3) when she left the house around 9pm, at the time she always used to leave for work. During her wake, her mother remembered the scene that was often repeated: “she took a walk, tossed her hair and left”. Unlike other days, on this day Priscila left the house only in flip-flops, shorts and a top, without a cell phone or documents.
“She was last seen on Rua Mogeiro, with Av. Dr Silvio de Campos, in Perus. We stayed behind her, asking a lot of people, ”says her sister Suellen Teixeira, who even went to hospitals and posted search ads on social media.
The young woman's death is still under investigation at the Franco da Rocha Police Station, in the municipality of Grande SP, where the body was taken after being found in a state of decomposition in the Mairiporã dam. The coffin was sealed, with only a photo of the young woman's face.
Priscila is remembered by her family and friends as an outgoing young woman who was always happy and smiling.
Born on December 11, 1992, Priscila was the daughter of Dona Irene dos Santos, sister of Suellen, Luana, Diego, Taise and Diógenes. Her nephews and nieces, even without understanding her departure, cried for their aunt. All the friends I talked to during the wake said the same thing: she was high-spirited, cheerful, outgoing, playful.
"She was a very outgoing person. Happy and smiling. She spoke well. She was always well-groomed. She was very special to many people", says Sister Suellen Teixeira, amid the whirlwind of information and emotions.
Priscila was also an inspiration to many of them. One of her friends, Talysson Ferreira, considered her one of the first trans women in Perus.
"I followed her trajectory and her suffering, because it wasn't easy. It's not easy for any of us. For me, she was the diva, she who started as a trans woman here in Perus. and give strength to other women, because none of them had the courage yet. She gave everyone the courage to come out and be proud to be what she is. The only queen there will be here in Perus. Our Perus diva".

Mina Clavero, Córdoba (Argentina)
Possible suicide
Nati's body was found in her home.

Sources in the case told the television program "La Otra Mirada" that no signs of violence were detected on "Nati's" body.
The young woman's case had worldwide resonance when 16 years ago she became the first in the world whose parents requested [gender confirmation surgery], when she was still a minor.
An autopsy will be carried out at the Villa Dolores Hospital on Tuesday to determine the cause of her death.
The Municipality of Mina Clavero sends its condolences to the family and friends of Celene Gabriela Colantonio (“Nati”).

Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/21-Mar-2022/Sameera Iftikhar
Sameera died in hospital 8 days after being shot in an attack on a home in which 4 other trans women were also shot.
Sabtin Fida was arrested.
Sameer, one of the victims of the recent attack on five trans women in Mansehra, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), has passed away. The victim succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds to her abdomen.
On March 14, Sameer Iftikhar was one of the five trans women who were shot and injured when a group of armed men broke into their home and opened fire. The wounded transgender persons were taken to the Ayub Medical Complex after the attack. Police arrested Sabtin Fida of Bedadi for the attack, at that time charging him with attempted murder.
Sameer, who was a resident of Chakia Road Mansehra, was being treated at the hospital for gunshot wounds, but succumbed to their injuries.
Mona, another trans woman shot in the incident, told police, “I reached my room near Pima Hospital along with my other colleagues. Sabtin who was already in the room, opened fire on us with an intent to kill us.”
Several days later, another transgender person, Chaanda, was murdered in Mardan, KP.
Following the attack a protest was staged in Rawalpindi:
Transgender persons staged a protest rally outside the Rawalpindi Press Club against the rising incidents of violence and killing of the community members in different parts of the country.
The protesting transgender persons demanded protection and immediate arrest of people involved in the killings of their fellow transgenders.
The protesters led by Saba Gul and Sana Chaudhry said that five transgender persons have been killed in different cities of the country in the last few days but not a single suspect has been arrested so far.
Saba Gul said that “if we are not provided with justice then we should be allowed to hand out dispense justice to the killers.”
Saba Gul said that they have confidence in Rawalpindi and Islamabad police where transgender centres have been established and “we demand that the government set up transgender centres across the country where we can be heard.”
Sana Chaudhry said that two transgender persons were killed in Mansehra on Monday. “What was their fault? We ask Prime Minister Imran Khan who will give us justice?”

Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/18-Mar-2022/Chaand
Chaand was shot dead in what police described as a "local dispute". A friend was injured in the same attack.
Chaanda, a well-known figure in the transgender community, was shot dead in Mardan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Thursday.
Police have indicated that the murder was due to a ‘local dispute’, adding that an investigation was underway to arrest the culprits. Her friend was also shot and injured in the incident.
“It’s too early to say about the motive behind the killing but it doesn’t appear to be a target killing incident but rather a local dispute,” District Police Officer (DPO) Mardan Dr Zahid said.
The incident was also confirmed by several members of the transgender community.
In a separate incident, police arrested Sabtin Fida of Bedadi on Monday for allegedly shooting five transgender people in their home in Manshera, charging him with attempted murder.
Mona, a trans woman shot in the incident, told police, “I reached my room near Pima Hospital along with my other colleagues. Sabtin who was already in the room, opened fire on us with an intent to kill us.”
Two people were subsequently arrested and confessed responsibility for the shooting.

Mano
18 Mar 2022
Peshawar, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (Pakistan)
Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/18-Mar-2022/Mano
Mano was shot dead by her ex-partner after he became violent during an argument.
PESHAWAR: A man shot dead a transgender person in Jangi Mohallah area in the limits of Khan Raziq police station here on Friday.
It was the third such incident of targeting transgender persons in the province in less than a week.
A police official told Dawn that the slain transgender person identified as Mano was friends with a local identified as Sanaullah.
He said that Sanaullah got married sometime back and Mano was not happy over [her] friend’s marriage and would quarrel with him. He said that on Friday Sanaullah allegedly shot dead Mano after an argument and fled the scene.
Police have registered an FIR against the suspect.
Subsequently it emerged that Sanaullah had shot Mano dead after she asked him to repay money he had borrowed from her. She was buried by her community after her birth family refused to accept her body.
For many days before her death, Mano, a trans woman from Peshawar, had been fretting about her expenses. Weddings were a major source of income for her and she was worried that, with the onset of Ramazan, she wouldn’t be making any money for about a month.
She had a way out, but it was a difficult one. A man she had previously been romantically involved with had borrowed a sum of over Rs800,000 from her: if she could get it back, she wouldn’t have to worry about money for the foreseeable future.
She decided to give it a try.
Last Friday afternoon, Mano made her way to a printing press in Peshawar’s Mohallah Jangi area, next to the historic Qissa Khwani Bazaar. This press was owned by Sanaullah, her former acquaintance. She approached him and explained her predicament; why she wanted her money back. He turned her down and told her to get lost, but she made it clear she wasn’t going to leave without the money she was owed. Enraged at her persistence, Sanaullah shot her dead. He escaped through the labyrinthine streets of the area.
Mano’s family, which hails from the Batkhela area of Malakand, refused to even accept her body, leaving it to the local transgender community to arrange her last rites. Arzoo Khan, president of the Transgender Association KP, told Dawn that Mano’s family refused to take part in her burial, saying they wanted nothing to do with her either in life or in death.
“We had to arrange people to bathe her body. Our neighbours shouldered her coffin to the graveyard where she was laid to rest.”

Elise Malary
Age 3117 Mar 2022
Evanston, Illinois (USA)
Drowned
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/11-Mar-2022/Elise Malary
Elise's body was found washed up on the shore of Lake Michigan on Thursday 17th March. She had been missing since Wednesday 9th March.
A dead body found [washed up on rocks near 500 Sheridan Square] in Lake Michigan has been identified as Elise Malary, a transgender activist who had been missing for over a week, police said Saturday.
Malary, 31, of Evanston, Illinois, was first reported missing on March 11 after not being in touch with family for two days, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Her body was found washed up on rocks on Thursday in Evanston, a suburb north of Chicago.
Considered a major transgender rights advocate by the local LGBTQ community, Malary's disappearance sparked a significant search effort. Her 2008 Honda Accord was eventually located on Tuesday, on the same Evanston street where she was last seen, prompting police to pursue security camera footage in the area. Prior to her body being found, police did not suspect foul play in Malary's case.
Elise was known for her social advocacy for the LGBTQ population, people of color and transgender people of color and was a board member with the Chicago Therapy Collective.
A vigil for Elise was held on Sunday 20th March.
In June 2022 the Cook County medical examiner's office reported that Elise died from drowning, but concluded that the manner of her death could not be determined.
In March 2024 Catalpa Avenue between Clark and Ashland was given the honorary name "Elise Malary Way" in her memory.

TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/15-Mar-2022/Patrícia Mazzini Manco
Patricia was shot by assassins riding a motorcycle. Her family believe that a criminal gang had tried to extort money from her but she had refused.
Two assassins on a motorcycle ended the life of a young trans woman, who was leaving a candy store located on Calle 1, at kilometer 36 of the former Panamericana Sur in Lurín . According to the investigations, the criminals intercepted her and then shot her eight times with a machine gun.
"We arrived and saw her lying on the ground with 8 bullet wounds in different parts of her body. They told us it was a machine gun. They were two people dressed in black on a motorcycle," said her sister-in-law Emma Chumpitaz.
"I'm going to work, take care," were the last words that Patricia Mazzini gave Emma. According to the investigation, apparently Patricia was a sex worker who worked in the place who was murdered and had been threatened by a criminal gang that sought to take over the streets of Lurín.
The father of the victim, Antonio Mazzini Parodi, expressed sorrow that this loss is irreparable. "We are poor, what is happening to us is a horror. They are not going to return my daughter to me," he said. The family requested that security camera footage from businesses in the vicinity of the homicide be requested and that the crime be investigated. "Let it be thoroughly investigated and let the guilty fall," he said through tears.

Possible suicide
Paulo was a civil police officer and is survived by his husband Pedro.
Paulo Vaz, a trans man who is a reference in the LGBTQIA+ community and a civil police officer , died on the night of this Monday, 14th . Paulo was married to Pedro HMC founder of the famous LGBTQIA+ channel, “ Põe Na Roda ”. The death of Popó's, as he was known, was publicized on social media by Associação Nacional de Travestis e Transexuais (Antra).
“With great sadness we received the news that Paulo Vaz @popo_vaz left us”, began the association in a note published on Facebook.
“Paulo was dear and loved by everyone around him. An activist engaged and dedicated to the trans struggle, he has always made a point of building bridges, acting in the fight against transphobia and in defense of transmale people. Gay trans man, civil police officer, he always approached questions about sexuality and gender in a light and relaxed way. He was such a sweet soul and a beautiful heart,” ANTRA said.
“Unfortunately we lost another one of us who could not bear to continue in such a violent and inhumane society. ANTRA sympathizes with Paulo's family and friends, especially dear Pedro HMC”. "Thank you for everything! We will continue in mourning, in the struggle”, concluded the association.
With great sadness we received the news that Paulo Vaz @popo_vaz has left us. Paulp was sweet and loved all around him. He activist engaged and dedicated to trans fight, always made a point of building bridges, performing in the confrontation of transphobia and in defense of transmasculine people.
A trans gay man who was a civilian police officer, always addressed issues about sexuality and gender in a light and relaxed manner. He was such a sweet soul and a beautiful heart who starred in one of our campaigns for Trans Visibility Day, and made various advertisements and participation in media and television about transmasculine visibility.
Paulo will no longer be among us or in our story talking with that significant minor accent of his. Unfortunately we lost another one of us who couldn't stand continuing in such a violent and inhumane society.
ANTRA stands in solidarity with the family and friends of Paulo, especially to dear Pedro HMC to whom they were married. Receive our most sincere hug and our condolences.
Rest in Power Paulo
Thank you for everything! We will continue to mourn, in the fight.

Bucaramanga, Santander (Colombia)
Stabbed
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/11-Mar-2022/Andrea Rozo Rolón (""La Leona"")
Andrea's body was found with stab wounds in a beauty salon.
During the last few hours the LGBT community denounced the murder of the trans activist known as La Leona, whose lifeless body was found in the facilities of a hairdresser.
The violent events took place in an aesthetic services establishment located in the Colombian municipality of Bucaramanga, when unidentified assailants attacked the woman with a knife in the neck, an attack that ended the life of the victim.
The event has shaken the community, as one more is added to their losses in the course of 2022, before which they demand justice so that the authorities find those responsible for such a heinous crime while complaining to the Government about the lack of guarantees to protect the lives of trans people.
“Trans women survive daily in the midst of indifference, hatred and oblivion. Today La Leona was murdered in the Center of Bucaramanga . They are in serious danger, we demand justice and actions to protect them and in turn meet demands that continue to be ignored, ”activist Olga Materón said through her twitter account.
On 1st April 2022 Emil Alfonso Martínez Jiménez was charged with aggrivated femicide and remanded in custody. In July 2024 he was sentenced to 35 years in prison.

Kathryn Newhouse
Age 199 Mar 2022
Canton, Georgia (USA)
Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/19-Mar-2022/Kathyrn 'Katie' Newhouse
Kathryn was killed by her father. He then shot himself.
On Saturday March 19, 2022, a 19-year-old Asian-American autistic trans woman living with mental illness issues was murdered by her father in their family home. Her father then died by suicide using the same gun.
Her name was Kathryn (Katie) Newhouse. A native of Illinois, Kathryn was most recently living with her family in Canton, Georgia. Kathryn was a Minecrat and UberSpire enthusiast, an advocate for trans rights, had a bright smile, enjoyed changing up her hair styles, and attentive to world events. She enjoyed hiking and sight seeing. She was proud of her AAPI heritage; she was of Filipino heritage. She believed the credo “Model best behavior in your own sphere, break down stereotypes, and speak out.”
Kathryn is the eighth transgender person reported as a victim of fatal violence in 2022. She is the sixth woman of color from these neighbors and the first victim who identified as Asian-American. At age 19, she is the youngest victim this year to date. Their collective deaths come on the heels of 2021, the most violent year in recorded history with the deaths of 57 trans, non-binary, and gender nonconforming people in the United States alone. Note that the tabulation includes a significant number of reports of folx murdered in 2021. This might be confusing. Of course it is confusing. I tried to sort it out below.
On her Facebook page, Kathryn quoted Joan Didion in her profile. This quote was from a commencement address at the University of California, Riverside, in 1975: “I’m not telling you to make the world better, because I don’t think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I’m just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment. And if you ask me why you should bother to do that, I could tell you that the grave’s a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace. Nor do they sing there, or write, or argue, or see the tidal bore on the Amazon, or touch their children. And that’s what there is to do and get it while you can and good luck at it.”
Rest in power, Kathryn. You absolutely deserved to still be here with us and to receive the supports you needed to live your best and brightest life. It was not up to your father or anyone else to decide what a better place would be for you. I am sorry we failed to create a world that valued and celebrated your whole self. I am sorry for your suffering. Thank you for all that you gave to our world.
May your memory be a revolution.
A vigil for Kathryn was held on the evening of Monday 4th April.
ATLANTA — A candlelight vigil was held Monday night for a transgender woman who police say was killed by her own father.
Dozens of people showed up to honor Kathryn Newhouse, 19, in Atlanta’s Piedmont Park. She was killed in Cherokee County a couple of weeks ago.
Now, Newhouse’s friends are using her tragedy to spread awareness about the threat the trans community is facing. “She was like a little sister to me. She was a real sweetheart,” [name redacted] said.
Police say Newhouse, an Asian American transgender woman, was killed by her father inside their family home last month. Investigators say her father shot and killed her before turning the gun on himself.
“I would’ve never imagined something like this happening to her,” [name redacted] said.
Monday’s memorial served as more than just a tribute to Newhouse.
“I want people to realize that violence against trans people and violence against autistic people and violence against Asian Americans is real and it’s an epidemic. I don’t want stories like Kathryn’s swept under the rug. I want change and action to come from this. I think it’s important”.

Luo
Age 219 Mar 2022
Wuhan, Hubei (China)
Stabbed
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/09-Mar-2022/Luo
Luo was stabbed to death in a restroom in the mall where she worked. The authorities attempted to suppress news of her murder.
On March 9, the murder of a transgender person took place in Wuhan Paradise Walk, a large shopping center in downtown Wuhan. The victim was a transgender woman, who was killed in the afternoon with a knife by a man while she was using the men’s restroom in accordance with her biological sex.
The picture of the crime circulating on the Internet shows that the deceased was wearing women’s clothes and knee-high boots. Her clothes had been stripped off when she fell to the ground, so many netizens thought the deceased was a woman when the news first came out.
But soon the police preliminary notification which spread on Weibo revealed that the murder was committed with a knife at 3 p.m. on March 9 in the men’s restroom on the 4th floor of Paradise Walk. The 19-year-old male suspect Zhang and the 21-year-old victim Luo did not know each other before. They started a verbal dispute, resulting in a bloody violent clash. The victim died on the spot.
The police notification was issued at 5:30 p.m., and stated that Luo was [a trans woman] and an employee of a restaurant in the Paradise Walk. So many netizens understood that the deceased was a transgender woman who was using the men’s restroom based on her biological sex, and speculated that it was probably a hate crime born out of transphobia.
After the incident, Weibo users condemned the killer and debated the issue of transgender rights in China. Some netizens posted posters calling attention to hate crimes against transgender people in China.
However, the discussion was immediately suppressed by the authorities’ Internet control department. Topics such as “Wuhan Paradise Walk murder case,” “Wuhan Paradise Walk murder,” and even simply “Wuhan Paradise Walk” were blocked. Netizens were confronted with a message that, “According to relevant laws, regulations and policies, the topic page is not displayed.”
A transgender blogger named who had tried to generate attention for the case on Weibo, also deleted her earlier Weibo post exposing the incident, claiming that she had received a phone call from Wuhan police. “Because the suspect’s behavior was too bad and the scene was very bloody, and the suspect has been caught on the spot and is being interrogated about the motive of the crime, so to avoid the impact on the victim’s family, as well as not to affect the police investigation work, I deleted that previous microblogging, please wait patiently for the police notice,” [she] said in the comment section of Weibo.
She also posted, “Please wait patiently for the police notice, the final case results will also be posted simultaneously on the magistrate’s office site.” But at the time of this writing, Wuhan police still had not made any public statements on the matter, and the official Weibo page of Wuhan Paradise Walk had not been updated since 5:32 p.m. on March 9th.
Bitter Winter has also received reports from several Wuhan residents being warned by police over the phone to delete their posts with videos and pictures related to this murder. Police threatened them with legal consequences if they did not remove the posts about the homicide.

Duda's body was found with head injuries inside a residence on the morning of Monday 7th March. She died from hatchet blows and blunt force trauma after an apparent robbery.
A [trans woman] was found dead early on Monday (7/3) in Patos de Minas, in Alto Paranaíba. According to the Military Police, the victim was struck with a "hatchet" to death. Hours after the crime, the PM indicated that it was a robbery and that the suspects had consumed drugs with the victim.
She was 27 years old and presented herself as "Duda Marins". The body was found in a house on rua Paraíba in the Santa Luzia neighborhood.
According to the Military Police, the victim was dead inside the property, half-naked. She had head injuries.
The Civil Police expert found a hatchet dirty with blood between the victim's legs. In addition to being struck, she was also attacked with a helmet.
According to the Military Police, the residence was a place of drug use. A suspect in the crime has been identified and is a resident of the house. At least three people may have participated in the crime.
The victim's cell phone was found at the home of the prime suspect's uncle. Information, passed on to the police indicated that the [trans woman] had about R$3000 in cash. The suspicion is that after using narcotics, drug users killed the victim and took their money and cell phone.
Witnesses indicated that the victim did not live with the suspects. So far no one has been arrested and the Military Police remains committed to the search. The victim's body was taken to the Legal Medical Institute (IML) of Patos de Minas. According to the experts, there were no injuries of sexual violence.
A 37 year-old man was subsequently arrested for her murder.
A 37-year-old man who murdered the [trans woman] Isabela ([deadname] de Araújo Farias) to avoid paying for a R$50 sexual program was arrested this Tuesday (29) by the Homicide Investigation Group (GIH), in the Jardim neighborhood. Santo Antônio, in Aparecida de Goiânia.
According to the Civil Police, the victim had been in Goiás for 15 days carrying out programs in the region of Aparecida motels. On the day of the crime, around 1 am, the perpetrator arranged a program with the victim for the amount of R$ 30 and both went on a motorcycle to a vacant lot.
At the location, in Vila Nossa Senhora de Lourdes, according to the criminal's interrogation, there was an argument. During the struggle, he stabbed the victim three times in the neck region, using the knife that belonged to the [trans woman] herself.
On 13th February 2023 Daniel Lima da Silveira was sentenced 16 years in prison for Duda's murder.
The Court of Jury of the District of Patos de Minas met this Monday (13) to judge the accused of murdering the [trans woman] Duda Marins, in March last year. Daniel Lima da Silveira, 39, confessed to the crime and was charged with double homicide by the Public Prosecutor's Office.
The crime took place on March 7, 2022 at Daniel's house, in the Santa Luzia neighborhood. Duda went there with other people to use drugs. They fell out and Daniel hit the victim several times with an axe. The body was found in the morning. Dudley's face was disfigured.
Daniel fled, but was found days later and arrested in the city of Belo Horizonte. He has been imprisoned since then awaiting trial. The Civil Police investigated the case as robbery, but the Public Prosecutor's Office understood that the complaint should be for doubly qualified homicide, for a base reason and for the resource that made it difficult for the victim to defend herself.
The defense argued that the disagreement was motivated by a threat from people at the scene, that they would take over Daniel's house. But after listening to the arguments of the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Public Defender's Office, the jurors found Daniel Lima Silveira guilty. Daniel was sentenced to 16 years in prison under closed regime.

According to the Judiciary and the FGJEM, it is the first time that in this criminal type, both the victim and the person who assaults are recognized by the Judicial Authority based on the arguments presented by the Prosecutor's Office as transgender people.

Milo Winslow
Age 303 Mar 2022
Lincoln, Nebraska (USA)
Suicide
Milo died by suicide. His final social media posts show a man in great pain over the political "debate" taking place about the rights of trans people to exist in his city.
Milo Winslow (he/him) died of suicide in the early morning of 3/3/2022. Those who knew Milo know that he was a fierce advocate for the trans community, and incredibly generous with his compassion and care. He put others before him and used his platform to support others going through difficulties. He was passionate about advocating for others, especially our most vulnerable youth. As someone who had experienced what many young folks are experiencing in their lives, his ability to connect with and support people touched so many. Something people may not know about Milo is just how deeply he loved. When he loves someone it is fast, deep, and everlasting. His ability to have such love in him was inspirational. The traumas he experienced in life took their toll, but still he found the capacity to love unconditionally. This is something I hope we can all learn from, both his advocacy and his ability to love.
Recently, the Fairness Ordinance set forth by the city council to update language in Title 11 of Lincoln's Municipal Code has been petitioned against by the Nebraska Family Alliance and their supporters. When the petition garnered over 18k votes in just two weeks, the despair from Milo and our trans community was palpable. To know that so many people here in our community cannot respect an individual's right to exist, much less their safety, housing, etc., was so painful to Milo.
The last year has been exceedingly tough on Milo. Between his transitional journey, the loss of friends, his mental health battles including depression and PTSD, and most recently this ongoing battle for LGBTQIA+ rights in Lincoln.....the strength Milo has shown in bearing all that came at him is beyond words. Milo will be missed so very much and our whole community suffers this loss. He would want his death to be a reminder to us all to advocate just as fiercely, love just as strongly, and to take care of ourselves and each other.

Virgil Rhone
Age 153 Mar 2022
Bicester, Oxfordshire (United Kingdom)
Suicide
Virgil died by suicide. He had dropped out of education after being "relentlessly bullied", and was on an NHS waiting list while under the "care" of CAMHS.
An inquest returned a narrative verdict saying that his "intent was uncertain" despite him having made two previous attempts at suicide and leaving potential suicide notes in a notebook.
Virgil Rhone. 15. March 3, 2022. Narrative verdict. "Intent was uncertain".
Virgil was "relentlessly bullied" at school & had dropped out of education to be homeschooled. They had recently started college where they had 'found their tribe'. Virgil's death was unexpected.
Coroner criticised CAMHS failings: lack of information sharing between services & lack of continuity of care. CAMHS counselling "ended after six sessions". Virgil should have seen a clinical psychologist a "year earlier". At death they were on a waiting list for more support.
"Virgil was such a supportive person & helped people feel really comfortable with who they were..I think often the people who need help do it for other people". Virgil Died Waiting For Care #DWFC.

Katherine Salazar

Puerto Quijarro, Santa Cruz (Bolivia)
Not reported
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/27-Feb-2022/Katherine Salazar
Katherine's body was found in her room. The way her body was found suggests that she was a victim of violence.
The mysterious death of a trans woman who worked as a porter at a cemetery in Puerto Quijarro, Santa Cruz, has generated consternation in the population. That is why the Ombudsman has called for the causes of death to be investigated through a thorough investigation.
The woman, named Katherine S., was found dead in her room on February 27. Her neighbors would have found her without vital signs. According to the portal Clave 300, what would have attracted attention was the position in which the woman was. Hence, the alarm was generated and the hypothesis of an alleged homicide was supported.
Through a statement, the Ombudsman urged the Public Ministry to clarify the fact. "The defense institution demands that the local authorities clarify the causes of this death as soon as possible and, if evidence of violence is found on Katherine's body, find the culprits and bring them to justice in accordance with the established procedure."
The institution assured that it monitors through the Regional Coordination of Puerto Suárez.
The Movement of Diversities and Sexual Dissidence of Santa Cruz, for its part, echoed the news and detailed that at the scene of the crime, there were blood stains, sticks and torn clothing. The entity regretted that Katherine's closest relatives have not appeared. "No family member appeared to dismiss Katherine's body, while activists from the Santa Cruz Movement of Sexual Diversities and Dissidents are monitoring the case."
The Ombudsman mentioned that the rejection that trans women often experience results in their not being able to receive a final goodbye, a situation that must end.

Paloma Vazquez
Age 2926 Feb 2022
Houston, Texas (USA)
Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/26-Feb-2022/Paloma Vazquez
Paloma was found dead with gunshot wounds in her apartment on the evening of Saturday 26th February.
A transgender woman was fatally shot Saturday inside her apartment in southwest Houston, police said.
The woman, who has not been publicly identified, was found with multiple gunshot wounds in the apartment in the 6600 block of Dunlap. Her boyfriend initially called police at 8 p.m. after coming upon her body, according to police.
Police said the woman appeared to live alone, and the door was unlocked when officers arrived. They found multiple shell casings in the apartment.
According to a recent report from the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ+ advocacy organization, last year was the deadliest on record for transgender and gender non-conforming people with at least 47 killed.
Anyone with information about the Houston case can call the Houston Police Department's homicide division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers 713-222-TIPS (8477).
Paloma's identity only emerged subsequently. She had emigrated to the USA from Latin America 6 months earlier.
The transgender woman shot to death in Houston has been identified as 29-year-old immigrant Paloma Vazquez.
Vazquez, who was not identified in initial reports, was found dead in her apartment just days before Texas Gov. Greg Abbott directed the state to interpret trans-affirming care as child abuse. According to the Organization for Latina Trans in Texas, Vazquez immigrated to the United States six months ago.
“As most trans women who are here from Latina America, they are here because they are scared of being killed in their own country,” a friend of the victim, Gia Pacheco, told KTRK Houston. “She had just moved into her new apartment and was very excited about decorating.”
Another friend, Valentin Terrazas noted that Latin America can be particularly dangerous for transgender women. Transgender women, particularly Black and Latinx women, also face high rates of violence across the United States.
“There’s a lot of transphobia in Latin America,” friend Valentin Terrazas added. “They come here for refuge and to better their lives and have a future here.”
Paloma had only arrived in the USA 6 months earlier, having fled Honduras because of the violence there.
Vazquez, who had arrived in the U.S. six months ago, was involved with the Organization for Latina Trans in Texas. A spokesperson for the group told the Daily News that the 29-year-old was from Honduras and that she had fled her native country because she was afraid of being targeted because she was trans.
On Thursday, a large group of friends, human rights activists, as well as members of the transgender community gathered outside Houston City Hall to honor her life and bring attention to the alarming increase in the number of killings of transgender women of color in the U.S.

Suicide
The victim died by suicide in a men's prison. Her identity was not reported.
According to BILD information, a trans woman (52) committed suicide by hanging in the notorious "Santa Fu" male prison, the JVA Fuhlsbüttel (around 800 inmates).
Possibly because the person who feels like a woman and wants to live as such has been subjected to bullying and discrimination by other prisoners.
The judiciary only confirms that there was "one death" on Friday 25 February.
There's a lot to be said for suicide. Investigations have been initiated. The authority is silent on the gender identity of the victim and retreats to "post-mortem protection of personality".
The trans woman has been in prison for assault and insult since August 2021.
Apparently she wore mostly women's clothes and dyed her hair whenever possible. It is unclear whether an application for gender reassignment surgery had already been made.
A letter from a fellow prisoner (available to BILD) states that the trans woman "had a very difficult life here in the institution (...) because she was massively bullied".
The Gallina authority does not contribute to the clarification. None of the further BILD questions about the tragic case were answered. Neither about possible discrimination, nor about whether the trans woman could have been transferred, nor about whether there are general instructions on how to proceed in such cases.

MEXICO CITY.- A transgender woman died when she fell from an ATV in which she was traveling as co-pilot. Seeing what had happened, the driver tried to flee, but was stopped by the police.
At the wheel of a four-wheeler, José Luis over-accelerated through the streets of the Venustiano Carranza neighborhood. With him were two women who occupied the back of the vehicle. The driver lost control of the steering wheel while passing through a stop located at the corner of Calzada del Peñón and Calle Engravings.
Because he didn't brake, the bike jumped and Pamela's body was thrown onto the pavement. Afterwards, the others fled, leaving the co-pilot [Pamela] and a motorcycle helmet.
Residents of the neighborhood notified the paramedics who, upon arrival, reported that a blow to the head caused her death. Through the surveillance cameras, the police managed to find the driver of the ATV, who was fleeing towards the Emilio Carranza neighborhood.
The man was transferred to the ministerial agency, while the body was taken to the Venustiano Carranza amphitheater.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE CASE OF GABI MATTOS, TRANS MURDERED ON THE EDGE OF THE INDUSTRIAL NEIGHBORHOOD
Our Mandate includes looking for new information about the case and what measures are being taken. We will keep reporting to the media and asking #JusticaPorGabi !
In addition to the information that although there was a @pmsergipe camera at the scene of the crime, it WAS NOT WORKING, initial information said that there was an exchange of fire and that the victim had supposedly been shot with a stray bullet.
The camera of a restaurant nearby was also not working, but accounts we received from witnesses nearby say there was no exchange of fire but the criminal ran after the victim and shot her, intending to kill her.
A witness also said that the perpetrators were two individuals on a black 150 motorcycle, both armed, and one of them was described as white with a mustache. It's really very strange that, in an alleged shooting, only she was shot and that was in the head.
We want the investigation and verification of the facts, as well as the solution not only of this case, but also of the case of Natasha Santos, a 16-year-old black transvesti, who, even over 1 year on from her transphobic murder in Coroa do Meio, the investigation concluded WITHOUT CONCLUDING WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE even though the authorities have security camera footage!
We need to pressure the Public Ministry and the Court of Justice, so that the case is reopened and the investigations continue, and to continue denouncing and charging #JustiçaPorGabi and #JustiçaPorNatasha !
Holding the perpetrators of these brutal and inconceivable cases to account is crucial to combating transphobic violence.
Anyone who has any information, call Dial Denunciation 181, anonymously.
Gabi Mattos, present! #Bastadetransfobia

Dorce Gamalama
Age 58 (born 21 Jul 1963)16 Feb 2022
Jakarta (Indonesia)
COVID-19
Dorce passed away in hospital due to complications from COVID-19.
Popular trans entertainer Dorce Gamalama has died in Indonesia from complications related to COVID-19, but her family has decided she should be buried as a man.
Gamalama, a well-known pop singer and TV presenter who even had her own talkshow, the Dorce Show, passed away in hospital in Jakarta on Wednesday (16 February). She was often referred to as Bunda (mother) Dorce.
The 58-year-old had been diagnosed with COVID-19 three weeks previously, and other health conditions including Alzheimer’s and diabetes increased the severe complications associated with the virus.
Gamalama had been openly trans for decades, having undergone gender affirmation surgery in 1983 and even winning a legal battle to have her gender legally recognised. In an interview last month, she referenced her deteriorating health in an interview and announced: “[I would like to be buried] as I am now. Because after my surgery, I have a female genitalia, so women should bathe me, and bathe [and bury] me as a woman.”
However, as a devout Muslim, she added the decision would ultimately lie with faith leaders. Following her public announcement that she would like to be buried as a woman, the Indonesia Ulema Council (MUI), Indonesia’s top Islamic scholars body, said in a statement that the body of a trans person must always be buried according to their gender assigned at birth. So, despite her final wishes, her family and religious leaders decided that she should be bathed and buried as a man.
Carahanna Marianne Sam, a trans campaign manager at an NGO in South Jakarta, told The Jakarta Post that despite her limited involvement with the LGBT+ community in Indonesia, Gamalama made a huge impact by being visible.
“I hope we can have more Dorce Gamalamas in Indonesia,” she said.
“She’s still a hero. Just by being out there and existing, she already has done more than half of what the rest of us have done.”

Cypress was found dead in a storage unit from blunt force trauma on Sunday 13th February. Allan Montemayor, 32, has been arrested for her murder.
LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Cypress Ramos’ friends are demanding justice, after the 21-year-old’s body was found in a storage unit Saturday. The murder warrant for 32-year-old Allan Montemayor reveals information about the death. The warrant says Cypress died after being struck with a hard object. Police records show that Montemayor says he believed a song told him to kill Cypress but also believed that Cypress heard a song with instructions to kill Montemayor.
Cypress’ friend, Camilla Urbina, isn’t buying Montemayor’s story and wants justice. “He tried to burn my friend, literally. Like burn, burn them up,” Camilla said.
Police say security camera video captured Montemayor’s truck at the storage unit near the 2700 block of North Frankford Ave. on Saturday. He and someone else entered the storage unit, but an hour and 20 minutes later, he came out alone and drove off. Investigators tracked him down and say they found blood on his legs. “And there was blood on his pants, I believe that something else happened. And the truth will come out. And you will pay, promise,” Camilla said.
Montemayor told police he had been in the bathroom and when he came out he saw Cypress had set a fire. He then said Cypress “came at him with a bat...and it was either me or [her]”
[A friend of Cypress] doesn’t believe that’s what happened. “She is not that strong to even hit a person with a crowbar or a four-by-four or whatever it was that hit him when he was out of the restroom. There’s no way.”
Montemayor later told polcie that "a song told him to kill her".
Cypress was a drag performer in Lubbock and was well known and loved in the gay community.

The Civil Police (PC) confirmed this Friday (1st), that the remains found in December 2022, in Aparecida de Goiânia, in the Metropolitan Region of the capital, are those of Alícia Marques, missing since February 2022. According to the mother, the student left her house, which is in Jardim Helvécia, and was then never seen again. Two men were arrested on suspicion of the crime.
Alícia disappeared on February 12, in Jardim Helvécia, in Aparecida de Goiânia. Initially, the case was investigated by delegate Luiza Veneranda, from the 1st Police District (DP). Delegate Jonatas Barbosa, from the 4th DP, took over the case and requested it be archived in January of this year. Afterwards, the investigation was summarized and concluded by delegate Fabrício Flávio, from the State Criminal Investigations Office (Deic).
"The crime was premeditated and orchestrated by the perpetrators. Today we seek to give some relief to this family, the mother waited for her daughter for 1 year and 7 months", said the police chief.
When she disappeared, Alicia was wearing light blue jeans, black heeled boots, an orange collared blouse and had red hair. Her mother said that Alicia did not say where she was going, but that she always came home the next day after leaving.
According to the police, the DNA confirmation was carried out in the last 40 days, when the case came under the care of the State Criminal Investigations Office (DEIC). The police chief explained that the crime occurred on the same day as the disappearance. The Civil Police reported that the report on the cause of death should be released next week.
The Public Ministry (MP) reported that prosecutor Simone Disconsi de Sá Campos would request additional measures, as well as the involvement of other investigative units. "She had prior access to the investigation and says that she does not agree with the request for archiving", states the agency (see full note at the end of the report).
According to the investigator, the police tried every alternative to try to locate the young woman. “All measures and all paths have been taken. Everything you do in life reaches a point where there is nothing left to do. We asked for breaches of telephone confidentiality and spoke to people who knew the young woman, but no one has any information about her,” she said.
Delegate Jonatas Barbosa detailed that searches were carried out at the Legal Medical Institute (IML), in hospitals, airports and bus stations. “We tried everything that could have been done and there is nothing left to do, until something new emerges: a witness who reports her possible whereabouts. Unfortunately, it has reached a place where we no longer have anywhere to try, so we have requested it be archived,” he explains.

Loren's body was found on Thursday 10th February 2022. She had been missing since Friday 3rd December 2021.
Loren Guzmán, a trans woman who disappeared on December 3, 2021, was found lifeless in Irapuato, Guanajuato, as reported on social networks. The woman was employed as a stylist and was last seen leaving her home on calle Parra in the Flores Magón Sur neighborhood, in the municipality of Irapuato.
The director of the association 'Human Development and Sexuality (Dehusex) of Irapuato', Arturo Álvarez Martínez, asked the State Attorney General's Office (FGE) to investigate not only yet another homicide, than what could be a hate crime.
“We are asking the Prosecutor's Office to do the same, to do it and not treat her like just another dead person and that it was robbery - it was an assault. In the case of this girl, it was not known that she did anything wrong, but the way in which she was murdered. There is a lot of hate motivated by transphobia that has been directed at compañeras in Irapuato but as they are issues related to mafias [in the area] they [the authorities] do not give them the attention they they should," he said. He also said that a person shot to death is not the same as locating a mutilated, disfigured body, which makes a difference between a homicide and a hate crime.
“For the LGBT community, this represents one more death, one more person, and as trans women are being murdered nationally they are being violated with hate,” said Arturo Álvarez.

Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/10-Feb-2022/Priscilla Santos
Priscila and her cisgender partner Gleiciano Prado Santos were both shot dead in their home on the night of Thursday 10th February.
Teixeira de Freitas: "The streets smell of blood", said a neighbor of the residence where the double murder took place. The crime took place on the night of this Thursday, February 10, at around 8:55 pm, on the first floor of a property on Rua Adelina B. Medeiros in the São Lourenço neighborhood. It was the third homicide recorded in Teixeira de Freitas in less than 10 hours, and the growing violence has frightened the city's residents.
According to information known, two criminals arrived on a motorcycle. The passenger got off, called the victim's name, entered the building and shot the victims several times. He then came back down the stairs and fled with his accomplice in an unknown direction. According to the police investigation, one of the victims is Gleiciano Prado Santos, 19 years old, and Priscila, 27 years old (a [trans woman]). The victims had arrived 30 (thirty) days ago from Linhares-ES, rented the building and lived together. Gleiciano was working on the watermelon harvest.
The couple were shot by firearms of 9mm caliber, and according to expert Garrido, twelve 9mm shell cases were found at the scene. Also according to the expert, a crime that took place earlier in Bairro Rosa Luxemburgo, also used a 9mm caliber weapon. Depending on the outcome of investigations, forensic assistance may be requested to carry out a necropapiloscopic identification expertise, as the police did not find the identity documents of the victims.

Destinee Lashaee
Age 299 Feb 2022
Houston, Texas (USA)
Suicide
Destinee appears to have taken their own life after battling depression. At the time they died they were presenting as male and going by the name Matthew Ventress.
At the time they died Destinee was dealing with issues from trying to lose weight and from a lawsuit with the producers of the reality show “My 600 Lb. Life”.
Note from The Ashley: The Ashley always tries to use proper pronouns, and, to The Ashley’s knowledge, at the time of Matthew’s death, he was mostly presenting male and using Matthew and “he/him” as his pronouns. However, during his time on ‘My 600 lb. Life’ he went by Destinee Lashee and used she/her pronouns. He would still sometimes present female and use Destinee, though. Trigger Warning: This story is about suicide.
The life of yet another My 600 lb. Life star has come to a tragic end.
The Ashley can reveal that Matthew Ventress (who was known as Destinee LaShaee while on the show), has died. Matthew’s death was confirmed by his brother Wayne Compton on Facebook on Tuesday.
“I’m sorry bro, I accept you for who you are, I accept every flaw that come with you, I’m sorry you felt alone, I’m sorry you felt you had nobody else to turn too, I’m sorry you felt you had no other option,” Wayne wrote in a tribute to Matthew on Tuesday.
Matthew– who was the first transgender person to appear on the TLC reality show— appears to have committed suicide, just one year to the day that his sister died. (His sister’s name was Destiny as well, just FYI.). In the days before his death, Matthew appeared to be struggling, writing several sad messages to Facebook.
“If I was surrounded by all my tears I’d be floating in the ocean,” he wrote on Friday.
“To everyone who genuinely love and support me I love you and I’m grateful to have touched millions of lives and hearts around the world,” he wrote on Saturday. “…Living my life with so much pain for so long I’ve come to realize that God makes no mistakes. I’m grateful for my journey and all I’ve been through. I don’t regret a single moment. Love you all.”
Matthew’s story was shown on Season 7 of “My 600 Lb. Life,” which first aired in 2019. During the episode, Matthew— then known as Destinee and presenting as a woman—weighed 669 pounds.
“I’m just 27. I have so much that I want to do and need to do. I can’t believe this is my life now. Where I lay here all day and wait for food,” Destinee told the cameras during her episode. ““I feel like all I’m constantly doing is trying to escape my depression and pain at this point. Food is the only thing I can turn to to do that. I can feel it killing me. There is no way I’m going to survive for much longer.”
After appearing on “My 600 Lb. Life,” Matthew– who was still using the name Destinee— joined a lawsuit with other people who had appeared on the show. In legal documents filed in 2020, Matthew accused Megalomedia— the production company behind the show— of negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraud and more. Matthew claimed the show’s producers took advantage of him, stating that they demanded he shave his face on-camera.
“The filming of her shaving was so painful that it was not made part of the show,” the court documents alleged. “The stress led Plaintiff to have a breakdown in which she kicked the producers out of her home and threatened to kill them and herself.” In his lawsuit, Matthew claimed that Megalomedia had promised to pay for mental health counseling, but failed to do so.
Matthew ended up losing nearly 500 lbs. after appearing on the show.
Sadly, Matthew is the 11th person to die after appearing on the show. In August 2021, Gina Krasley— who was involved in the same lawsuit as Matthew– passed away at the age of 30. Ashley Randall of Season 1 died in October 2021.

Matthew Angelo Spampinato
Age 219 Feb 2022
New Castle, Delaware (USA)
Run over
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/10-Feb-2022/Bunty
Matthew was killed during a hit and run incident on Wednesday 9th February.
Matthew Angelo Spampinato, a 21-year-old white transgender man, was a barista at a Starbucks in New Castle, Delaware. Customers and employees described him as bright, kind and “a breath of fresh air.” One coworker said “He was always so selfless. He would always ask how everybody was doing even when he wasn’t having a good day himself.” A regular at the store described him as having “a smile that could turn a day around.”
On Feb. 9, 2022, Spampinato was killed in a hit and run car crash in New Castle. Spampinato’s death is at least the fifth violent killing of a transgender or gender non-conforming person in 2022. We say “at least” because too often these deaths go unreported — or misreported. In 2021, despite limitations in reporting, HRC officially recorded the largest number of fatal trans violence incidents for a second consecutive year since we began tracking this violence in 2013.
According to local news, Spampinato had recently moved to Delaware after visiting a friend and falling in love with the area. After his move, he wrote on Instagram that he was “enjoying experiencing fall and winter in a new state for the first time.” He also shared updates on his transition on social media, describing that he waited four years to obtain a prescription for testosterone and writing “I’m glad I didn’t give up.”
Spampinato's cousin described him as “very headstrong…Once he set his mind on something, he went with it…I want people to think of him as a human being who had a family (and) who had people that loved him. I would give anything just to be able to see him.” Spampinato wrote that he realized he was not cisgender at age 13 and although not everyone in his life was supportive, he appreciated those who were.
Matthew’s death is tragic, but the one shining light was that he lived his life surrounded by people who loved and respected him. He was living his dream with a healthy support system. With all of the challenges trans and non-binary people face in society, including a disregard for our lives, it is so important for allies to celebrate and uplift our community. May Matthew never be forgotten by those who loved him and those who hold our community dear.”
Tori Cooper, Human Rights Campaign Director of Community Engagement for the Transgender Justice Initiative Police initially identified Spampinato by his birth name, but he was later confirmed as transgender and in the process of legally transitioning when he died. According to state police spokesman Sr. Cpl. Jason Hatchell, “investigators do not have any new leads on the driver that killed him.”
At the time he was hit he was walking towards the Starbucks where he worked as a barista. Police told the family Matthew was walking in the grass well away from traffic when he was hit.

Beatriz died in her ex-partner's apartment. It is alleged that her ex-partner spiked her drink with prohibited substances and then filmed her dying.
A transgender woman from Pará was found dead inside an apartment, in the early hours of Monday (7), in Paris, France. According to information passed on by the victim's family, identified as Beatriz Souza, 38, the suspicion is that the ex-partner has put illegal substances in her drink, causing an overdose .
The main suspect had recorded videos of Beatriz dying inside the apartment. “There are several accounts. But what most people believe is that they put prohibited substances in her drink. And Pietra (ex-partner) filmed everything, saw her dying and was mocking her. It didn't help at all. We just want her to be remembered and justice to be done,” a cousin of Beatriz, who preferred not to be identified, told the report.
Beatriz grew up in the Cremação neighborhood of Belém. Her cousin did not know whether the family intends to bring the body to Brazil. “We spoke very little to each other. But she told her mother that if something ever happened, she didn't want her body brought here,” she said.
Beatriz's Facebook profile is https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100071815044840.

TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/07-Feb-2022/Valentín Quezada Saldías
Valentín's body was found under a river bridge on Monday 7th February. He had been missing since 2nd February.
According to Radio Cooperativa, the Homicide Brigade of the Investigative Police (PDI) confirmed on Tuesday that the body found yesterday in the Chillán River is that of Valentín Quezada Saldías, 25, a young transgender [man] who had been reported missing six days ago.
On February 2 the Veterinary Medicine student at the University of Concepción had been intensively sought, the date on which he left his house for his sister's home, but never arrived.
The PDI reported that, together with personnel from the Regional Criminalistics Laboratory, it was possible to determine the identity of the body found under the Nebuco Bridge. The remains are currently in the Legal Medical Service, awaiting the autopsy that will allow the precise cause of death to be established.
Meanwhile, one of the deceased's cousins told the same station that "he had never disappeared without a trace, he said he was going to meet his sister, he told her at one point that he was walking, around 7:00 pm the hour passed and he did not arrive; they sent messages to her phone and they came through, but she stopped responding. At 11:00 pm she turned off the phone».
"He said he was going to go to the supermarket, that he was walking through O'Higgins, that was the last message he sent. Something abnormal what happened", I added.
Valentin had started his transition several months earlier.

Kimberlly Villegas

Stabbed
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/06-Feb-2222/Kimberlly Villegas (Diskimberly)
Kimberlly was stabbed in street in the early hours of Sunday 6th February. A suspect has been detained.
The Judge of Valle de San Juan with Function of Control of Guarantees on duty in Ibagué, sent Robinson López Montoya to be detained in Picaleña Prison after he was accused of murdering a person from the LGBTI community near the Andrés López de Galarza Park. The deceased trans woman was identified as [deadname] Villegas, of Venezuelan nationality, who was known in her personal circle as 'Kimberly'.
In the early hours of Sunday morning, on the corner of Carrera Segunda with calle 18 (near Parque Andrés López de Galarza), allegedly "Kimberly" stole some money from Robinson López Montoya. The 49-year-old man, from San Antonio, south of Tolima, reacted and stabbed the female member of the LGBTI community with a knife at the abdomen. The young [trans woman] was taken by friends in a taxi to Federico Lleras Acosta Hospital, headquarters of La Francia, but the doctors could not save her life.
The Metib Police uniformed officers who were notified of the bloodshed, reacted and captured López Montoya, who was found in his possession with a knife, with which he had murdered the Venezuelan woman. Sectional Prosecutor 16 of the Flagrancia Group presented Robinson López Montoya in a virtual hearing, charging him with the crime of aggravated homicide for placing the victim in a defenseless or inferior situation or taking advantage of this situation.

Hanar
6 Feb 2022
Mariwan, Kurdistan (Iran)
Suicide
Hanar died by suicide.
MARIWAN, Iran - It was the early hours of February 6, when 28-year-old Sara, a transgender woman from the city of Mariwan in Iran’s western Kurdistan province called her friend Hanar to check up on her. Hanar’s brother answered the phone, telling Sara that Hanar had done what she had said she would do for a long time. She had taken her life.
Screams filled the Mariwan graveyard the next morning as friends and family stood over the grave of Hanar, who was named [deadname] at birth, but decided to go by the name Hanar to better reflect the gender she identified as. It was also the nickname her friends, also transgender, referred to her as.
Sara was the first of the friendship group to find out that Hanar had committed suicide earlier that morning. She wanted to check up on Hanar because she had already expressed her suicidal thoughts to Sara on several occasions.
“She would always tell me about her pain, she did not like men’s clothes and did not want to act like a man, but we could not come out in public because the city is very small,” Sara told Rudaw English, crying over the death of her friend. “She wanted to undergo surgery, but when she asked a religious cleric last year, he told her that the surgery is forbidden in Sunni Islam, and she could not even tell her family about her problems.”
Sara was evidently shaken up as she recalled the amount of times Hanar had asked her to commit suicide together. “She was talking about suicide more during the past few months. She told me ‘if you dare, let us commit suicide together and get out of this pain’, but nothing I told her seemed to have any effect,” Sara added.
At the end of their last encounter on February 5, Sara found it unusual how tightly Hanar had hugged her before leaving. “At around 3 am I gave her a call, but her brother picked up and said she had killed herself and her body was at the hospital,” she said, and just like that, another member of the LGBT+ community had fallen victim to the deeply entrenched cultural and traditional norms of Middle Eastern society.
Despite the Iranian government subsidizing sex reassignment surgeries for transgender people, endorsed by a decree from Iran’s former top Shiite religious authority Grand Ayatollah Khomeini, the process still requires the consent of the person’s family and the approval of specialized physicians.
The decree, however, is not implemented in the Sunni majority areas, mainly located in the predominantly Kurdish-populated western part of the country. As opposed to the cosmopolitan cities of Iran, the transgender community in Kurdish cities confronts a very difficult reality. Many either conceal their true gender identities, or attempt to migrate to more accepting countries where their rights are guaranteed.

Name Unknown
Age 126 Feb 2022
Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire (United Kingdom)
Suicide
The victim died by suicide after being bullied continuously. The school misgendered and deadnamed him, and told students not to use social media to express grief or pay tribute.
A 12-year-old child who friends claim was bullied because he was transgender has tragically died after reportedly taking his own life. His death has left friends shocked and they have demanded better treatment for all young people in the LGBTQ+ community as well as action to prevent bullying.
The boy was a student at Radcliffe School and the headteacher sent a message on Sunday to parents informing them of the tragedy. But friends have been angered by the statement, which referred to the pupil using the female name he had shunned. They also said he had been bullied relentlessly by peers and called for more action to be taken to protect children from bullying. The Citizen has chosen not to name the student.
In a letter to the Citizen the students said: "X was a student at the Radcliffe school in year 8, he was transgender, using the he/him pronoun. X had been bullied relentlessly by his peers, which played a factor in his death, however, the school has not recognised this as the result of bullying on their premises, and have outwardly tried to silence any and all claims of this."
The letter also claims: "Students have been told by the school that we are specifically not allowed to use social media to express grief or tribute to X, and due to this, many people have been silenced, especially when correcting the staff on X's proper identity. "
Students claim they have been told that they are not allowed to use social media to express grief or pay tribute to the pupil. They also claimed that heads of houses had read out a scripted message on Monday, February 7, which used the student's former name and used she/her pronouns.
The Citizen contacted the Radcliffe School today to talk about the students' claims. A spokesman told us: "We will not be commenting on this matter."
The local newspaper article which reported the victim's suicide was later removed following a complaint to the press regulator IPSO.
Unknown. 12. 6th February 2022. Coroner verdict to be determined.
Very little information is in public domain about this Yr 8 Trans boy. Only an article in a local newspaper removed following an IPSO complaint by the child's parents & school, & the upheld complaint itself.
The child attended Radcliffe school in Milton Keynes, a letter was sent by other pupils at the school to the local newspaper which said he "was in year 8, was trans and using he/him pronouns" & he was "relentlessly bullied by his peers"
Whilst the local newspaper article was retracted a statement of apology remains. I link below to the IPSO ruling. I think this case is indicative of the ways in which deaths & memories of Trans children even in a world of 24/7 social media, are hidden.

Bella Analía Vera
Age 345 Feb 2022
Babahoyo, Los Ríos (Ecuador)
Cosmetic filler complications
Bella Analía Vera died at around 4am on Saturday 5th February. The previous day she had undergone a cosmetic filler procedure at a clinic in the city.
Josefa Sánchez still had in her hands the syringe containing the substance that, according to her, ended the life of Bella, her trans daughter. According to her, they had injected it to highlight her attributes. Bella Analía, 34, was a popular trans girl who participated in several beauty pageants for the LGBTI community in Babahoyo, Los Ríos.
According to Josefa, her [daughter] was fine until the night of Friday, February 4, 2021, in the building they shared located on calles Rocafuerte and ByPass. However, she tells the parent, she did not notice when the person who applied the oils to Bella to increase her buttocks arrived. “He was a man who traveled from Quito to do that to him (inject him with oil). Now I want justice because his death cannot go unpunished, ”said Josefa crying.
Bella would have entrusted her body to the same person who injected her breasts and buttocks several years ago. However, the trans girl wanted to look more voluptuous and she asked for a new application without knowing that it would be her last.
“She told me that she was going to wear more and we asked her not to do it anymore, but vanity blinded her. You risk your life when you inject yourself because you don't know how your body is going to react. The cheapest per application costs around $100”, declared a friend of the deceased.
After the application, the damage became visible around 04:00 on Saturday, February 5, 2022, when Josefa heard her complaining in the room. "I knocked on her door and her husband opened it for me, but she was already foaming at the mouth," said the parent.
They quickly called an ambulance and took her to the Martín Icaza hospital in Babahoyo. There they tried to revive her but Bella Analía no longer had vital signs. Her body was taken to the local morgue, where they also took samples of the substance that Josefa carried in a syringe.
Bella was queen of the non-profit Foundation Let me live as I am, but she also had extensive experience in beauty pageants. Her overwhelming and charismatic personality made her win the affection of the public.
Now Josefa only hopes to get justice for Bella's death. The deceased made a living dyeing hair in a mini beauty salon that she set up in her home. The deceased leaves two children in the orphanage and her remains will be buried today in the cemetery of the Rio de Janeiro capital.

León Pindo Cuenca was shot by hitmen who intercepted and boarded the bus he was travelling on.
On the afternoon of Saturday, January 29, León Pindo Cuenca , a trans man , was murdered in the province of El Oro in a hit-man style, while traveling on a bus belonging to Oro Express.
While the vehicle was being transported from La Soborna, near Tilalles, two individuals on a motorcycle threatened to shoot at the vehicle to stop it. One of them got on the bus and killed the 35-year-old with six shots. They appear to have been hired assassins as the individual did not steal any belongings from the murdered person or from the rest of the passengers. According to records of the Runa Sipiy Report of the Silhouette X Association, this violent act is the fourth so far this year against people from the LGBTI community.

Alexa's body was found in a well on Friday 28th January 2022 and identified 3 days later. She had been missing since Friday 10th December 2021.
Subsequently José Elías Hernández Morales was arrested in connection with her disappearance and murder.
San Salvador, El Salvador. Salvadoran authorities confirmed the crime of Alexa Valle Landaverde, a 22-year-old trans woman who had been reported as a missing person since the second week of December 2021. The alleged perpetrator will be prosecuted for the crime of deprivation of liberty. This is the first murder against the LGBTI population in the Central American country.
According to her family, Valle Landaverde left the house she shared with her mother on Friday, December 10. After she stopped communicating her mother set out to search for her.
A relative told Presentes that Alexa left with her partner early in the morning from her home located in the municipality of Quezaltepeque, about 21 kilometers north of the capital. At the end of the day, they tried to communicate with her, but her phone was turned off.
The director of the police, Mauricio Arriaza, reported on Friday, January 28, about the discovery of human remains, presumably Alexa. But it was not until Monday the 31st that forensic authorities carried out a DNA test to confirm the identity of the victim. “We are announcing the arrest of José Elías Hernández Morales for the crime of disappearance of persons, who on December 11, 2021 in Quezaltepeque deprived the young GAVL, known as Alexa, of liberty,” said the police director, Mauricio Arriaza Chicas to the press.
During the event, Arriaza misgendered Alexa. Valle Landaverde's human remains were found in a dry well in the municipality of Ciudad Arce, 26 kilometers west of the last site where she was seen. “At the scene a dried-up well was located where human remains were found, which will undergo DNA analysis and thus determine if they belong to the victim,” reported the prosecution.
The Public Ministry reported on Tuesday that José Elías Hernández Morales is accused of the crime of deprivation of persons. Investigations suggest that Hernández Morales invited Alexa to have dinner with him on the day of her disappearance.
In February 2023 Morales was sentenced to 25 years in prison for the murder.

Doski was shot in the head and chest by her estranged brother, who flew back from Europe to Iraq to murder her.
Doski Azad didn't turn up to a scheduled meeting, which was out of character, one of her friends told Insider.
The 23-year-old transgender woman, a makeup artist in Iraq's Kurdistan Region, was usually very reliable, she said.
The friend knew something was up, but she couldn't have anticipated the shocking call she received two days later. "I found out Doski was brutally murdered," she said.
Azad's body was found on Monday afternoon in a village on the outskirts of Duhok. She had been shot in the head and chest, a day or two before the corpse was discovered, Dohuk police said.
An image reviewed by Insider showed that Azad's hands had been tied together, and her body had been left in a shallow ditch. Police became aware of the body's whereabouts after a tipoff from a relative, the Kurdish media outlet Rudaw reported.

Doski was working as a hair stylist. Her birth family did not accept her transition and continuously harassed her.
A talented makeup artist, the 23-year-old had supported herself since her family turned its back on her when she was a young teenager. She went to brides’ homes to prepare them for their weddings and built a reputation that earned her a job at a salon in Duhok.
“She was such a nice person, and everyone loved her so much,” said a close friend, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “She lived alone because when she went to her family home, they said to Doski, ‘Get out’,” the friend said. “They said, ‘When we see you alone, we will kill you’.”
Shortly after killing her her brother fled the country. His current whereabouts are unknown.

Suicide
Babalu died by suicide after falling victim to transphobia.
Presenter Angélica, 48, used social media to mourn the death of Babalu Vendraminy, a fan of the artist who took her own life after being a victim of transphobia. In her post, Angélica highlighted the importance of respect and recalled the mortality rate for this group in Brazil.
"We live in an oppressive society, in a country that has the highest mortality rate for travesti and trans people. At the same time, we are the country that consumes the most transsexual pornographic content in the world. There is a culture of oppression being constantly fed, generating situations of prejudice, of violence to the community on a daily basis", she said.
"Why am I saying this? A very dear fan, unfortunately victim of these prejudices and violence, took her own life, after having taken away from herself the freedom to be who she is. Today Babalu leaves us. A wonderful fan, for a long time date, has accompanied me since the beginning of my career. I am here to leave a huge hug for all family and friends. May your passage be light and peaceful, with lots of light", he commented.
The presenter shared photos with Babalu and completed the message by thanking the fan. "Thank you for the love as always. She will always be alive in our hearts."

Ximena García
Age 2422 Jan 2022
Ciudad de México (Mexico)
Stabbed
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/22-Jan-2022/Ximena Garcia
Ximena died in hospital after being attacked in a hotel in the Azcapotzalco area of the city.
Ximena García, a trans activist, was the victim of a transfeminicide : she suffered an attack last Saturday, January 22, in the Azcapotzalco area. She died in hospital in the Cuauhtémoc area that same day.
The 24-year-old was stabbed last Friday and was transferred to the General Hospital of the Doctores neighborhood, where she died hours later.
In the face of the murder, the #JusticiaParaXimena campaign was launched on social networks as it was considered a hate crime, to which members and groups of the LGBT community have joined, as well as activists from Morena, a party of which the activist was a member.
A spokesman for the Mexico City Attorney General's Office (FGJ-CDMX), Ulises Lara, indicated this Tuesday, January 25, that an investigation into her transfeminicide has been opened.
The murder of Ximena García occurs only a few days after the activist Natalia Lane suffered an attempted transfeminicide in a hotel in the Portales neighborhood, Benito Juárez area. On January 16 she was attacked with a knife but managed to survive.

Arelis Cabezas Sierra
Age 3820 Jan 2022
Bogotá, Distrito Capital (Colombia)
Cosmetic procedure complications
Arelis died several hours after a cosmetic procedure on Thursday 20th January. The clinic where the procedure was performed has been shut down while her death is investigated.
Bogotá, Colombia.- A trans woman died after undergoing plastic surgery in a clinic north of Bogotá. Family members have denounced negligence on the part of the clinic.
Arelis Cabezas Sierra , a 38-year-old woman, died hours after a procedure around 4:00 pm last Thursday, January 20 of this year. " She was my best friend, my little sister. I studied college with her, we watched class with her, we told each other everything, she was a very intelligent person, you could talk to her about anything, any topic." said Daniel, Arelis's brother.
Arelis' relatives are demanding that the cause of death be investigated , as they maintain that there was negligence. "I think there was a very obvious negligence here , because they did not have the medical teams available for resuscitation and there were no medical staff in charge with any authority. What's more, if the surgeon and the friend were there in the room, the one who should be resuscitating is the surgeon.", said Daniel.
According to the news outlet Noticias Caracol, he contacted the surgeon Yesid "M", who performed the procedure on the trans woman. The doctor assured that it was a planned and scheduled surgery within everything normal, and that all of the pertinent laboratory tests required to be able to operate on a patient had been performed.
The surgeon mentioned that the plastic surgery was performed under the proper protocols and explained that he is attentive to do what the justice determines and awaits the opinion of Legal Medicine.
However, the district entity affirmed that an administrative process had been initiated against the doctor and the surgery room had been closed. In addition to this, flaws were found in the infrastructure and staffing of the clinic. The opinion of Legal Medicine will be decisive in determining the cause of death of Arelis.

Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/20-Jan-2022/Wendy Espinosa
Wendy and her brother in law were shot outside her home by two men on a motorcycle. Although he survived the attack she did not.
The Quito Trans Psycho Center of the Silhouette X Association and members of the "New National Trans Network" Platform, together with different groups, announced that, during the night of last Thursday, January 20, 2022, Wendy Espinosa (Sandro José), a 42-year-old trans woman, was murdered in La Maná, Cotopaxi province while she was outside her home.
The victim, who was with her brother-in-law Nelson A., was approached by two men on a motorcycle who opened fire on Espinosa and her brother-in-law, killing Wendy.
However, and despite the outcry from his relatives, the authorities have not yet clarified the motive for the murder, nor have they found the whereabouts of the culprits. Trans community groups have asked the State Attorney General Diana Salazar, the Undersecretary of Diversities Felipe Ochoa, and the Ombudsman Cesar Córdoba Valverde, to pay more attention to this case in order to clarify the unfortunate events.
Together, there are 3 victims from the LGBTI + community so far in 2022. This [Wendy's] death is in addition to that of Karla Valentina Espinosa, a trans woman who was found dead at her home in northwest Guayaquil with five stab wounds on January 4, and that of Cristian Nicola, a 27-year-old [gay man] and an official of the national prison service, who died riddled with nine shots in the back during the day of January 6.

Emma Boland
Age 15 (born 13 Jun 2006)17 Jan 2022
Bampton, Oxfordshire (United Kingdom)
Suicide
Emma died by suicide.
A teenager took her own life after being told of an Instagram post that had circulated around her Oxfordshire school, an inquest heard. Emma Boland, 15, was said to have been caused ‘great upset’ by the social media post on January 17, the precise nature of which was not set out by senior coroner Darren Salter this afternoon.
A fellow pupil described the girl, who was born Christopher Boland and was in the process of transitioning from male to female, holding her ‘head in her hands’ and saying the Instagram post had been ‘misunderstood’.
Oxford Coroner’s Court heard the teenager returned home to the house she shared with her parents and brother in Bampton at around 3.20pm then left to see a friend about 10 minutes later.
When their daughter had not returned by 6.30pm, her parents tried to contact her and her friends. Her mother, Rachel, ‘found out something had happened at school that day and it was concerning social media’, the inquest heard. She rang the police and reported Emma missing. Her father, Stuart, discovered his daughter by Shill Brook, around a 20 minute walk from her home. A post-mortem gave the cause of the girl’s death as hanging.
In a statement summarised by the coroner, Mr Boland said Emma had previously struggled with poor mental health. Shortly before Christmas 2021, a few weeks before her death, she decided she wanted to be known as Emma and began the process of transitioning from male to female. “Everyone was very supportive,” her father said. The girl was reportedly a high-achieving student.
The family spent the weekend before her death on Monday, January 17, ‘watching films and building Lego’ together. Her father said: “Emma seemed really happy.”
Emma did not have her phone with her at school on the Monday. However, she was said to have become aware of the Instagram post circulating among pupils at her school during the day. The post, which did not name anyone directly, was said by Mr Salter to have ‘included details of a past personal relationship that Emma had with a girl of the same age previously’.
One fellow pupil, a 15-year-old boy said Emma told them the post had been ‘misunderstood’ and had her ‘head in her hands’. Another said Emma had asked if she could see the post and said ‘there were some things true, others not’. She was ‘very down in the dumps about it’, he added.
The post was reported to Joe Winter, deputy headteacher at Faringdon Community College, on January 17 by the Year 11 lead, who had been approached by a pupil. Mr Winter was said to have decided that an investigation into the post would continue the following day. The school was informed shortly before 8pm that Emma had been reported missing.
Recording a conclusion of suicide, Mr Salter said it appeared Emma had intended to take her own life but that it had happened ‘in the context of…what appears to be great upset and that, of course, is very, very regrettable indeed’.

Stabbed

Pérola's body was found with stab wounds in the street near an abandoned lot. A 44 year old homeless man has been arrested in connection with her killing.
A 22-year-old transgender woman was stabbed to death this Monday (17), in Boa Vista. A 44-year-old homeless man was arrested on suspicion of the crime. The victim's name was Pérola Almeida .
Pérola's bloodied body was found by a 28-year-old security guard lying on the ground on Rua Belarmino Fernandes Magalhães, near an abandoned lot in Tancredo Neves. The Mobile Emergency Care Service was also called, but the young woman did not survive her injuries. Residents informed the PM that the resident was the one who had murdered Pérola. He was arrested nearby. It is not yet known what motivated the crime.
Associação de Travestis, Transexuais e Transgêneros de Roraima (Aterr) is following the case.
"It is with regret that we record the murder of another TRANS person in Roraima. Pérola was not even able to consolidate her unique way of being known, which demonstrates her struggle as a TRANS person in the midst of a society that discriminates and excludes young people because of sexual orientation and gender identity," Aterr said in a statement.
After being arrested, the suspect was referred to the General Homicide Police Station (DGH). It was necessary to use handcuffs during the arrest, according to the PM.
Aterr asked for action from the authorities "in search of solution of the case and punishment of the author of this crime and we sympathize with the family and friends of young Pearl." The victim, according to the Association, was also known as Steffany Melody.

Shot

An unidentified trans woman was shot dead on the night of Monday 17th January, reportedly while participating in a robbery.
An incident involving six people was registered on the night of this Monday (17), in the Industrial City of Curitiba (CIC). A truck driver who was a resident of the Sítio Cercado neighborhood was surprised by two suspects as he was starting a trip to São Paulo. According to information, two other trans people participated in the crime and a gunman wounded at least three people.
The result of the incident was: a 25-year-old trans woman dead; another arrested; two suspects shot and under observation at the hospital; a gunman who surrendered to the police station; and the victim, the truck driver.
The incident took place on Rua Juscelino Kubistchek, on the Contorno Sul waterfront, at CIC. The truck driver was heading towards a gas station, before continuing on to São Paulo, with a load of wine. However, as he was passing along the area, he was approached by two suspects. The truck driver stopped the vehicle and placed the truck at the disposal of the men. Soon after, two trans women entered the cabin of the truck and attempted to rob him.
The victim surrendered to the robbery, losing cell phone and cards to the suspects. However, shots were heard shortly thereafter. A gunman had passed the scene, saw what was happening and started shooting.
One of the trans women was shot and did not survive. The two men accompanying the crime were also injured and sent for treatment. The other trans woman was not shot and was arrested.
A man later surrendered to the police station and confessed to being the shooter. According to extra official information, the boy declared that he was also the victim of the suspects. He claimed he fired to protect himself from an attempted robbery and not because he witnessed the crime against the truck driver.

Suicide
Gael died by suicide. Reportedly he suffered from depression.
With sorrow we lost today Gael, a young and resilient trans man who committed suicide in Macapá.
Transphobia makes one more victim in the full month of trans visibility, so, unfortunately Gael joins so many other trans people who fail to meet the tragic 35-year life expectancy.
He was strong, faced a transformative society and still became a symbol of resilience and inspiration to those who knew him.
He will never be forgotten, his power will echo as an inspiration to many.

Karina López
Age 40 (born 25 Oct 1981)14 Jan 2022
Xalapa, Veracruz (Mexico)
Asphyxiation
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/14-Jan-2022/Karina Lopez
Karina's body was found in her home on 17th January. The authorities initially refused to release her body for burial.
Had they not relented following protests her body would have been sent to a mass grave.
She was clinically vulnerable and died at home from asphixiation. Although there is no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 was involved in Karina's death, it is always possible in such cases.
Xalapa, Ver.- After several hours of legal procedures, requests and demonstrations, the authorities of the State Attorney General's Office agreed to hand over the body of Karina, a trans woman who died last Friday at her home in Xalapa, to members of the LGBTQ+ community. In a small demonstration they let the population know that they will give a Christian burial to the trans woman with whom they shared several years of their lives and whose family were their co-workers and friends.
"Human rights are for everyone, the value of the family is everything even if it is not blood, coexistence makes you part of it and you can make decisions about it for any member of your circle. Today, after days of waiting, justice was served and the body of our compañera is being handed over to enable us to able to give her a Christian burial", they explained. This morning the members of that community had demonstrated by blocking calle Úrsulo Galván and the offices of the State Attorney General's Office located on avenida Manuel Ávila Camacho to request that Karina's body be handed over to them, since she had no relatives who could claim it.
At the voice of "her family is us", members of the community explained that Karina worked in the red zone of Xalapa and, according to the official report, Karina had lost her life due to suffocation while she was at home. She had previously undergone a tracheotomy, so her death was due to natural causes. They said that she died last Friday, after which the authorities were asked to hand over her body so that he could receive a Christian burial.
They also explained that she came from Chiapas to Xalapa when she was a 12 year old child. It was in the capital of Veracruz that she assumed her identity as a trans woman.

Stabbed

Jasmyne was stabbed by a client.
A 20 year old [trans woman] whose social name is Jasmyne da Silva was stabbed to death on Sunday, 09, in Tabuleiro do Martins in the upper part of Maceió.
On social networks friends of the victim reported that Jasmyne, who was a [sex worker] had gone out with a client and he had killed her with several blows of a melee weapon.
"I saw her around 10:00 last night. She went to see a client. He then, wickedly, stabbed her after the show. He either had no money to pay or had arrived with the intention of doing evil. So, trans girls, be very careful because Jasmyne never hurt anyone. She's a person i don't have to talk about. My feelings for the family," a friend of the victim, Lanna Hellen, said on Instagram Stories.
After the crime, the police authorities were activated. The experts of the Institute of Criminalistics carried out the surveys in order to find traces that help in elucidating the case. Then the body was released for burial.
On 28th January Mário José Barbosa de Melo was arrested and confessed to her murder. He claimed he killed her thinking she was someone else.
Civil Police delegates detailed this Monday morning (31), the circumstanes of the murder of a transgender woman identified as Jasmyne Silva, who was killed on the night of the 8th of this month. Her body was found the next day in undergrowth near Avenida Menino Marcelo (Via Expressa), in the Tabuleiro do Martins neighborhood. According to the delegate, the author of the crime "justified" his actions by saying that he killed Jasmyne by mistake, thinking that she was another transgender woman with whom he had previously hired for sex and stolen from him.
His account has been discounted by police, who believe that he intended to kill the victim - so much so that he left the house carrying the knife he used in the murder. The victim was hit in the neck, back and arms - which indicates that she got into a physical fight with the criminal.
The DHPP team also found that before murdering Jasmyne, the accused tried to go out with another transgender woman who frequents that region, only not consummating the program because they could not agree on a price.

Subsequently Aldana's brother and mother were charged in connection with her killing. The conduct of the hospital is also being investigated for failing to notify the police of the attack.
Aldana Lorenz, who died on January 3, was the first trans person killed in Argentina this year. The case is being investigated as a femicide and the Justice of Santa Fe charged her brother this week as the author of the crime and ordered preventive detention. In addition, her mother is being investigated for "abandonment of a person" as are the staff of the José María Cullen hospital, who intervened with the police 10 days after the admission of the young woman with head trauma.

Zen died at the scene after being stabbed in the street in broad daylight. Barry Donnelly, 36, was restrained by witnesses and arrested shortly after the attack.
Zen was a nonbinary tattoo artist who was originally from Bangor. They had only moved to Downpatrick late the previous year.
The 28-year-old who was stabbed to death in Downpatrick, County Down, on Monday morning has been named locally as [deadname].
Close friends have paid tribute to the talented tattoo artist who was originally from Bangor but moved to Downpatrick late last year. "[They were] a very skilled, humble person," friend and fellow tattoo artist Lou Franklin told BBC News NI.
The death is being treated as murder and one man remains in custody. The suspect, who is in his 30s, was arrested shortly after the attack which took place on Church Street in the town at about 11:00 GMT on Monday.
On Tuesday, police reissued their appeal for witnesses and dashcam footage of the attack. They also said they were aware that video footage of the "brutal incident" had been shared on social media and appealed to the public not to share or view the footage.
Ms Franklin had worked with [deadname] at several tattoo parlours and the pair had been close friends for eight years. "He was a very well known and well-regarded tattoo artist - a skilled sailor and a jack of all trades," she said.
Ms Franklin's partner Damien said [deadname] was like family to them - "one of the most humble, nicest people you could ever meet".

Briza Garces Florez
Age 402 Jan 2022
Den Haag, South Holland (Netherlands)
Stabbed
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/02-Jan-2022/Briza Garces Florez
Briza's body was found covered in blood in a hotel on Sunday 2nd January. The previous day another guest had seen her boyfriend chasing and hitting her in the hotel car park.
It's hard to stay positive in such a situation. I am angry. Sad might be a better word, because I have to do my best not to let the tears roll down my cheeks. I'm in the university library with a busy schedule and deadlines to meet, but I can't get my head around it. It's just been a week 2022, but it's already going with huge peaks and troughs. While I was so happy and proud this morning about the good news from MJ Rodriquez, I now feel completely lost. On the second day of the new year, the first murdered trans woman of 2022 will be a fact.
The messages have been circulating on social media in recent days: a woman had been murdered in the Van der Valk Hotel in Wassenaar . After a few days the redeeming word came out. The murdered woman was Briza Garces Florez, a 40-year-old sex worker from The Hague. Although originally from Colombia, she had lived in the Netherlands for over 20 years and had built up a large community in the The Hague area.
In addition to all these things, Briza was also a trans woman. A beautiful trans woman in the prime of her life. She was who she wanted to be, who she'd always wanted to be, and was stripped of her future. Taken from who she could have been. It pains me to see that it once again has to come to the point where trans people are murdered. It is, however, a surprise to see that many Dutch media are picking up the message. At least, compared to other murders of trans people. Perhaps because it was still unclear at first that it was a trans woman? Because in general, the murders of cisgender people are picked up much more often and the murders of transgender people go under the radar. Such was the last time the murder of Özge Bilirwho made the national news, and only after all of social media was full of this and criticized the fact that the news was not picked up.
Her boyfriend was arrested for her murder.
A hotel guest had previously heard the couple arguing in the car park on New Year’s Day, adding: “The man was a big guy and the woman was a bit smaller. I saw them chasing each other and he hit her. It was bizarre.”
Briza had lived in the Netherlands for 20 years. She did sex work in order to live and help her family.
A spokesperson for Trans United Europe said they are “in shock” at the Colombian trans woman’s death, adding: “We demand justice for Briza.”
The group included the hashtag ‘Say her name’ and wrote “Always in our hearts”.
The victim had reportedly lived in the Netherlands for 20 years. A friend in Amsterdam told local media: “It was her decision to [undertake sex work] to help her family and herself. She was very nice and sociable, and kept away from bad people.”
Another friend has launched a crowdfunding campaign to help pay for the victim’s funeral because “her next of kin does not have the financial means to arrange a dignified farewell”.
In June 2023 Thanasis K., 33, was convicted of murder and sentenced to spend 10 years in prison after serving an undetermined period of mandatory institutionalization at a psychiatric facility.

Not reported
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/03-Jan-2022/Duval Princess
Duval Princess died in hospital after being found unresponsive in the parking lot of an apartment block. Her death is being treated as a homicide.
This one was almost missed due to misgendering but thanks to a local leader in the Black trans community we were made aware of this murder in Jacksonville, FL.
On January 2nd at 2:20a.m. Jacksonville Sheriff officers arrived on the scene at 4929 Skyway Dr, Jacksonville, FL 32246 (Ceil Apartments on Skyway Drive) after receiving a call that a victim of a car accident was laying in the parking lot of the apartments.
Upon arrival officers found the victim unresponsive near a parked vehicle and was rushed to a near by hospital where the victim passed. The victim was identified as a Black trans woman that went by the Duval Princess.
While in the hospital that the victim was pronounced dead in a doctor noticed that the injuries didn’t add up to a traffic incident and that foul play was involved. Detectives suspect foul play, and they say someone reported hearing shots fired in the area.
The case is now in the hands of the Sheriff’s homicide team and they’re looking for any leads that can provide answers.

Amarey Lej (Myara)
Age 211 Jan 2022
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (USA)
Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/01-Jan-2022/Amariey Lei
Amarey was found dead in the street at around 6am on New Year's Day.
On Jan. 1, a victim was found dead of a fatal gunshot wound in Wilkinsburg. According to local LGBTQ advocacy group SisTers PGH, that victim was Amarey Lej, a 21-year-old Black trans woman.
Allegheny County Police have launched an investigation into the death, according to KDKA, but police did not identify her in the initial report. Police said they responded to the 1300 block of Wood Street in Wilkinsburg around 6 a.m. on Jan. 1 and found Lej’s body in the street.
“Amarey was a bright woman and former student at Woodland Hills. We at SisTers PGH would like to send her fellow classmates our deepest condolences, but also our deepest gratitude, as you rose in protection of Amarey when she needed it most,” reads a statement from SisTers PGH.
Lej, who is also known as Myara, is one of at least a half dozen trans people of color to die untimely deaths over the last 12 months in the Pittsburgh region. Chyna Carrillo was killed in Lawrence County, an hour north of Pittsburgh, on Feb. 18, 2021 and siblings Jasmine Cannady and Jeffrey “JJ” Bright were killed in Ambridge, just 30 minutes from the city, on Feb. 22, 2021. Audura Belle also died earlier the same month due to lack of health care, according to statements from her friends and family. Angel Naira was killed in Aliquippa in November.
There were nearly 50 killings of trans people in 2021 across the U.S., and the majority of those were trans people of color.
“Amarey was not the first, but it is up to every one of us to fight like hell to make sure she is the last,” reads the statement from SisTers PGH. “This is our time, as trans people and activists, to gather and engage in conversations regarding safety and policy. It is our time to demand not only justice for Amarey, but for all of us.”

Nikki was found fatally shot in her home the last day of 2021, but her murder was not reported among the LGBT+ community until late January 2022.
Her death was at least the 53rd violent killing of a transgender or gender non-conforming person in the USA in 2021.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - A local family is heartbroken and desperate after their loved one was gunned down in their own home recently.
Jen Struck is the aunt of the victim police found Friday. Police say they identified the person as Nikki Turrietta.
Albuquerque police said they found the body of a person shot in the head inside a home on Maggies Avenue, near downtown. Struck says they lived there alone.
31-year-old Turrietta was born and raised in Albuquerque, graduating from Amy Biehl High School. Their aunt says they were a loving family member. “We're just all in shock. I don't think it's really set in for some of us yet,” Struck said.
Like many, they had just finished celebrating the holidays with family. Struck said their loved one "was a character" and “just completely free spirit.”
Struck says they also traveled all over the United States and the world, before coming back to her hometown a few years ago. She now wishes they had never returned.

Bárbara Waimaran

El Jícaro, El Progreso (Guatemala)
Tortured
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/30-Dec-2021/Bárbara Waimaran
Barbara's body was found with signs of violence in the Motagua River.
Four days before the start of 2022, the National LGBTIQ + Human Rights Observatory reported the murder of three members of the community and warned that the trend of the previous year continues, when more than 30 violent events with fatal consequences were recorded. For the Human Rights Ombudsman Jordán Rodas, these indices are worrying and are aggravated due to state neglect.
Only in 2021 the Observatory registered at least 32 murders of members of this community, without ruling out the possibility of under-registration. On the other hand, until December 14, 2021, the National Institute of Forensic Sciences (Inacif) served 83 people self-identified as belonging to the LGBTIQ + community nationwide. Among the cases, evaluations of external injuries with 37 victims stand out, followed by 14 medical examinations for sexual crimes.
The LAMBDA Association's observatory indicated that three people identified as part of sexual diversity had been murdered in the country between December 30, 2021 and January 2, 2022.
The office of the Human Rights Ombudsman (PDH) explained that the first victim was Bárbara Waimaran, identified as a trans woman, who was found with signs of violence in the Motagua River, El Jícaro, El Progreso. In this case, the auxiliary of El Progreso of the PDH initiated a file and indicated that it will follow up on the actions of the Public Ministry (MP) for its resolution.
On January 2, the Trans Queens of the Night Organization (Otrans) reported the murder of Joseline Calito, a trans woman killed with a firearm in Amatitlán. According to the PDH report, a gay man was also killed in Santa Rosa on the same day.
"We demand that our authorities strengthen investigative methods to give justice to all those voices that are silenced by prejudice and ignorance," demanded the LAMBDA Association.
The PDH reported in its statement that in addition to monitoring the case of Bárbara Waimaran, the auxiliary authorities of Jutiapa, Guatemala and Santa Rosa opened files and, together with the Office of the Ombudsman for Persons of Sexual Diversity, will follow up on the cases in the pertinent instances.

Ke'Yahonna was killed when she tried to intervene in a fight in the parking lot of a nightclub.
Ke’Yahonna Stone, a black transgender woman, was shot in a nightclub parking lot in Indianapolis in the early hours of December 26 and died two days later on December 28 after being taken off life support.
Stone, 32, attempted to break up a fight when someone pulled out a gun and began shooting, hitting her in the head, her family told local TV station WISH.
“I feel whoever did it, they moved off of impulse. Some things you got to walk away from. It don’t make you a punk or nothing to walk away,” Stone’s sister Latroya Rucker said. “She was breaking up a fight, trying to defuse a fight that was going on. My sister didn’t have nothing to do with nothing that was going on out there.”
Ke'Yahonna was actively trying to create safe spaces for trans people and had just been hired to work at the Trans Solutions Research & Resource Center.
Friends say part of Stone’s role in the trans community included providing safe spaces inside her home. Efforts to extend her reach in the trans community was only growing.
Marissa Miller said of her friend, Stone, “She didn’t want to be that person who was in the streets no more that everybody was talking about. She didn’t want to do that no more. She was changing her life.”
Miller is the founder of Trans Solutions Research & Resource Center. Stone had recently been hired to work there. The plan was to take her idea of creating safe spaces and expand that to include spaces for the entire LGBTQ community.
“But, the community is hurting. Ke’Yahonna was loved by the community,” Miller said, “And the community is hurting. Some in the community were standing right there. It wasn’t they got the call they were the call.”

Stabbed
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/22-Dec-2021/Angie Carolina Patiño
Angie died in hospital four months after being stabbed in the neck by a client in her home on 30th August.
Angie Carolina Patiño, a 26-year-old trans woman, died in a Pereira care center after being seriously injured in the municipality of La Virginia, Risaralda. The event that triggered the woman's death occurred on August 30.
As reported by the authorities at the time, the woman was in her home in the company of the aggressor, to whom she was providing paid sexual services. This man did not want to pay her, causing an argument. The aggressor then attacked her with a machete to her neck and fled the scene, leaving her seriously injured.
Patiño was transferred to the hospital, where she fought for her life for almost four months. However, the severity of the wound, around 15 centimeters long, eventually cost her her life.
The alleged perpetrator is a 66-year-old man, identified as José Armel Marulanda , who was captured days after the event and has been charged with attempted femicide. The man is currently detained in prison awaiting charge.

TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/21-Dec-2021/Soni
Soni was shot dead while returning from a birthday party. She was one of two trans women killed in Patna in 24 hours - the other being Usha Rani on 20th December.
Patna: Frightened and angry over the killing of two transgenders in Patna in the last 24 hours, dozens of transgenders protested and shouted slogans against the Nitish Kumar-led National Democratic Alliance government on Tuesday for “failing to protect them”.
Anger in the community boiled over after a transgender [woman] identified as Soni was shot dead at Chiraiyatad Bridge, near Kankarbagh locality, on Tuesday morning.
The protesting transgenders placed Soni’s body on a road and burned tyres near Sri Ram Hospital, disrupting traffic for hours. “Soni was shot dead while returning from a birthday party,” Lakshmi, one of the protesters, told Newsclick. According to the police, the protesters damaged some vehicles and forced the nearby shops and markets to shut down.
The protesters sought security in Patna in view of the murder of the two transgenders in separate incidents. “We are not safe and scared after the killings. If transgenders are not safe, who will be safe?” added Lakshmi.
Another protester Mohini said that the police didn’t take action because the victim was a transgender [woman]. “Instead, the police used force to disperse the protesting transgenders,” Mohini said.
In another incident, a transgender identified as Usha Rani was found murdered at her house at Machua Toli, under Alamganj Police Station, on Monday. The police have confirmed it a case of murder and started an investigation.
According to Alamganj police officer Krishna Kumar, Usha Rani was beaten to death with stones and shot. “We are waiting for the post-mortem report,” another transgender Sunita told Newsclick.
Several transgenders expressed fear over the murders. “We are widely considered the safest community but the killings of the two transgenders have caused fear and panic among us. This is not a good sign. The government should ensure our safety and security,” one protester said.
As per the 2011 Census, there are 40,827 transgenders in Bihar. In recent years, the state government initiated some measures to empower them and provide them livelihood.
Three suspects were subsequently arrested.
PATNA: Police on Wednesday arrested three criminals from their rented accommodation near Kanti Factory Road under the Patrakarnagar police station area for their alleged involvement in three separate loot and murder cases. Two country-made pistols, three magazines, seven live cartridges, a cellphone, a motorcycle and Rs 38,150 in cash were recovered from the possession of the arrested criminals, who were identified as Shankar Kumar alias Shankar Rai, Ganesh Kumar alias Ganesh Rai (both from Dhanarua) and Kanhaiya Kumar alias Shahrukh from Rajauli in Nawada.
According to police, the three criminals were involved in the loot at an artificial jewellery shop at Kankarbagh on December 26. One Manish Kumar, husband of a saleswoman at the shop, was shot dead by the criminals during the loot.
Patna SSP Upendra Sharma said the criminals were also involved in the murder of a transgender [woman] on Chiraiyatand bridge in the city on December 21. "One Amit Kumar was earlier arrested in this case and he was forwarded to jail," the SSP said.
The transgender [woman] was shot dead while returning from a birthday party. The murder sparked protests in the city with members of the transgender community hitting the roads. The three criminals were also involved in another loot at a jewellery shop at Anisabad on December 18.
"Investigations revealed that the same gang was involved in all the three incidents. The criminals were booked under Arms Act and various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC)," the SSP said.

Melina Zurita Plaza
Age 4120 Dec 2021
Guayaquil, Guayas (Ecuador)
Cosmetic filler complications
Melina died from a cardiac arrest following a cosmetic filler injection by a friend.
Melina Zurita Plaza, a 41-year-old trans woman, agreed with a friend to place biopolymers on her hips, in a house located in Guasmo Sur (Guayaquil). However, the result was deadly .
Danna Zurita, the victim's sister, told Glance that Melina moved last Monday, December 20, to the hairdresser of another trans woman who was her friend, who would have offered to do the procedure .
That day, Melina had silicone placed on her hips , which caused her to go into cardiac arrest. Given this, according to statements by Danna, the woman who placed the material fled the site , leaving her in that state. Subsequently, her sister suffered a second cardiac arrest , which ultimately ended her life.
The National Police were alerted to the fact, and arrived at the place to carry out the respective report and lift the body. "In the autopsy they determined that they had put the oil (biopolymer) wrong," said Zurita.
In addition, Zurita also said that, a week before his sister's procedure, another woman had undergone the same practice and, like Melina, almost lost her life. According to the family, on Thursday, December 30, they will file the respective complaint.
According to Diane Rodríguez , director of the Silhouette X Association, this case adds the second death in 2021 of a trans woman due to the placement of biopolymers . In June, a similar case also occurred in Guayaquil , he said.
Biopolymers are synthetic macromolecules, commonly used illegally in Aesthetic Medicine as tissue filler material . However, it is known that its effects range from multiple local and systemic complications , which sometimes manifest themselves immediately, and sometimes even years later, as well as can cause the death of patients.

Sherly
16 Dec 2021
Karachi, Sindh (Pakistan)
Clinical neglect
Sherly died after being too scared to seek medical attention when she needed it.
Note that the exact date of her death is not known - the date given is that of the press conference where her death - and that of three other trans women - was condemned by trans groups.
The Gender Interactive Alliance (GIA) and Aurat March officials held a joint press conference on Thursday demanding an end to what they called was “genocide of our khwaja sira sisters.”
According to a press release issued by the Aurat March and GIA four transgender women died in a month due to apathy of the society - two were murdered, while two died of being denied healthcare services.
The speakers said that Bijlee was a kind transgender woman who was known to be on good terms with her neighbours. Her primary source of income was begging. This week, she was strangled to death in her own house.
Toffe, was a young 19-year old transgender woman who was refused treatment at the Dr Ruth KM Pfau Civil Hospital because she was HIV-positive. She subsequently died because of denial of her basic right.
The press release said that Sherly was so aggressively discriminated against in healthcare spaces that she was terrified to seek treatment when she needed it. Unfortunately, she passed away because of our healthcare system's transphobia.
“X - she was violently murdered in Lyari. Her family doesn’t wish to disclose her name because they are still being threatened by the murderer,” the press release stated.
“These were all khwaja sira women; our sisters. They were all deprived of their right to life in the most callous manner, but what makes it worse is that we didn’t even hear about them through our media,” the statement said.

Camury was shot by three masked men early who broke into his home early on Wednesday 15th December. He was a trans man in the early stages of transition.
A biomedical student, Camury Rosa de Jesus Amorim was 20 years old and a transsexual man. He had no problem talking about the subject and was getting ready to start the gender transition process. There was no time. He was shot dead by three hooded men [who broke into a residence on ua Venus II] early on Wednesday (15) in Camaçari, in the Metropolitan Region of Salvador. The Civil Police has not yet formalized a line of investigation, but close friends attribute the murder of the young man to transphobia. The victim was buried in the city of RMS, this Thursday morning (16).
Rosa had lived alone for a few months in Camaçari, had left Brotas, in the capital, due to the violence he suffered for always showing himself, remembers the journalism student Anne Almeida, 30, a friend of the victim. She says that Camury drew attention for his beauty and personality, which may have aroused disaffection.
"He was an amazing person, but he was under constant attack for being who he was. He was close to starting the transition, he was a very committed person. I really believe in 'homophobia'," says Anne, describing the friend as an independent and hardworking person, even with a "financially stabilized family".
Anne learned of the death through virtual means and says that the news immediately shocked the entire network of friends. "Because he was a person who wasn't in trouble. He read too much, too smart." The victim had a good relationship with the family, but living alone was always an option.

According to a press release issued by the Aurat March and GIA four transgender women died in a month due to apathy of the society - two were murdered, while two died of being denied healthcare services.
The speakers said that Bijlee was a kind transgender woman who was known to be on good terms with her neighbours. Her primary source of income was begging. This week, she was strangled to death in her own house.
Toffe, was a young 19-year old transgender woman who was refused treatment at the Dr Ruth KM Pfau Civil Hospital because she was HIV-positive. She subsequently died because of denial of her basic right.
The press release said that Sherly was so aggressively discriminated against in healthcare spaces that she was terrified to seek treatment when she needed it. Unfortunately, she passed away because of our healthcare system's transphobia.
“X - she was violently murdered in Lyari. Her family doesn’t wish to disclose her name because they are still being threatened by the murderer,” the press release stated.
“These were all khwaja sira women; our sisters. They were all deprived of their right to life in the most callous manner, but what makes it worse is that we didn’t even hear about them through our media,” the statement said.

Stabbed
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/08-Dec-2021/Yasmim Fontes
Yasmim was stabbed by a man who posed as a client who then fled carrying her purse.
A [trans woman] was stabbed to death at dawn this Thursday (9) on Avenida Edson Ramalho, in João Pessoa.
According to an investigation by TV Correio, the victim worked as a program girl in the locality. She was reportedly approached by someone who looked like a customer on Avenida João Maurício, on the edge of Praia de Manaíra. After some conversation, they walked to Avenida Edson Ramalho and stopped on a piece of land next to a container, a spot often used for sexual encounters.
There, the man started to attack the [trans woman]. She managed to run for a few meters but could not survive her injuries. The man fled towards the beach, and security camera footage recorded the moment he rushed past, with something in his hand that looked like a purse. The [trans woman]'s purse was found in the vicinity where the crime took place.
Subsequently it was alleged that her killing was orchestrated as a result of a feud with Aysla Roberta, 24.
Audio recording sexchanged between Yasmin Fontes, 23, who was stabbed to death last Tuesday (8), and Aysla Roberta, 24, suspected of committing the crime, reveal a feud that already existed between the two trans women.
Yasmin was murdered with a knife in the Manaíra neighborhood, being hit in the neck and chest. She could not survive her wounds and died at the scene. Local security cameras recorded the moment when the suspect ran away after committing the crime.
According to Yasmin's family, the victim and suspect already had an old feud and the family had access to audios in Whatsapp conversations where the two exchanged curses and threats, as reported by Notícia Paraíba.
In the conversation, Yasmin tells a person that Aysla was looking for her and that she reportedly threatened to kill her. The trans woman also said that she came to run after suspicion during the confusion between the two, but that Aysla had drawn a dagger and told others that she would end Yasmin's life.
In the audio sent by Aysla, she said she was fed up with the arguments and threatened to take five men to kill Yasmin.
Aysla's defense attorneys said the trans woman is innocent and that the crime was not a murder but a robbery.

Cristina Cantillo Martínez
7 Dec 2021
Santa Marta, Magdalena (Colombia)
Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/07-Dec-2021/Cristina Cantillo Martínez
Cristina was shot by a hitman while she was sitting in the terrace of her home. She was a community leader who had asked for protection after being threatened.
Cristina Cantillo, the renowned leader and social activist of the LGBTI + community in Santa Marta, was murdered on Tuesday night while she was sitting on the terrace of her house [at Carrera 60 No. 10-60] in the Ondas del Caribe neighborhood.
The leader had received death threats and several attacks against her and her family, as a result of which the local government authorized her special protection through the National Protection Unit, UNP. Last year Castillo had asked for protection after suffering an attack in which her brother was injured.
Human rights defenders condemned her assassination and claimed that the social leader was not listened to by the local authorities. According to the Samarian leader Lerbes Dimas, city life is not respected and today a whole community mourns the loss of a feisty, affective woman with a social sense.
"They turned off the voice of a leader, of a colleague. Cristina did not want to die and asked a thousand times for a security scheme different from the one she had. She had denounced the fact that they were going to assassinate her, but it was the voice of a trans woman, which no one wanted to hear" Dimas expressed.
Cristina had reported serious extortion situations against trans women who worked in prostitution in the Mamatoco sector, also serious complaints against the National Police. In her social networks, the activist had made a recent publication in which she expressed solidarity with the families affected by the fire in the public market of Santa Marta that occurred at dawn this Tuesday.
According to the authorities, initial reports indicate that a hitman arrived at the door of Castillo's house and shot him several times. Despite being taken to a health center she died.
The same day two other trans people - Maní and La Divaza - were also killed in Colombia.
In February 2022 Darinel José Posada Tovar was charged with her murder.
Little more than two months after the murder of the LGBTI leader Cristina Cantillo , which occurred in December 2021 in Santa Marta, the Prosecutor's Office has charged the suspected hitman who entered her house and shot her.
The suspect is Darinel José Posada Tovar, alias Duende, who was charged with the crimes of aggravated homicide and fabrication, carrying or aggravated possession of firearms and remanded in custody.
Cantillo, a trans woman who defended the rights of the LGBTI population in Magdalena , was murdered around 9:30 at night on December 7, while she was with her relatives. That night a man entered her home, which was located in the Luis Carlos Galán neighborhood of that city, and shot her several times with a 9-millimeter pistol, fatally wounding her.
According to the Prosecutor's Office, during the investigation, interviews were taken and photographic examinations carried out that allowed alias Duende to be identified as the alleged perpetrator of the crime. In addition, it was shown that the man was apparently a hitman for the criminal group 'los Pachenca', active in the department of Magdalena.

La Divaza was homeless and nonbinary. They died as a result of a stab wound to the chest.
The Caribbean Affirmative organization denounced this Wednesday the murder of a non-binary person in Riohacha, La Guajira, who was known as 'La Divaza'.
"The victim, a homeless inhabitant, died as a consequence, yet to be clarified, of a fight, in which they were stabbed in their chest , leaving them seriously injured, "reads a statement issued by that organization. The events were recorded on Tuesday, December 7.
For Caribe Affirmative, these events are alarming, considering that "in Riohacha, in recent days, cases of violence and acts of intolerance have been reported in public spaces in which the exercise of violence against dissident bodies has been legitimized. (Of diverse gender identity or expression) ".
The organization called on the Prosecutor's Office to carry out an investigation: "in view of the situation of vulnerability and visibility due to gender expression, it is required to take into account the thesis of violence due to prejudice, since stigmas and stereotypes could have been the cause. "
This case joins that of Cristina Cantillo Martínez , a trans woman and social leader who was murdered in Santa Marta, also this Tuesday, while she was chatting with her relatives at the door of her residence. Those responsible were two men riding a motorcycle. The pillion rider drew a firearm and shot her repeatedly.
The same day two other trans people - Cristina Cantillo Martínez and Maní - were also killed in Colombia.

Stabbed
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/07-Dec-2021/Maní
Maní was one of three trans people - the others being Cristina Cantillo Martínez and La Divaza - killed the same day in Colombia.
Yesterday they killed 3 trans [people], two of them black. Maní was a sex worker in Bogotá, La Diva was a street resident in Riohacha, and Cristina was a human rights defender in Santa Marta.
The murder of Santa Marta community leader Cristina Cantillo shook the inhabitants of Magdalena not only because of her recognized social work defending the rights of the LGTBIQ + community and the restitution of land, but because the crime may be related to her identity as a trans woman.
In different cities and times, but on the same date of the day of candles (December 7), two other trans [people] were murdered: 'La Divaza' ([possible deadname]), as she was known in Rioacha, and 'Maní', who was assassinated in Bogotá. Both bled to death after receiving fatal stab wounds from their attackers.
With their deaths, and according to the records of the database of the Trans Community Network of Colombia (RCT), 35 transsexual women are known to have been murdered so far this year.
“This is systematic. We are seeing a direct relationship between exclusion and the crime of being killed. For example, these last three who killed weren't just trans women. Cristina was a community leader, La Divaza was a street dweller and Maní was an Afro and a sex worker”, described Matilda González, a lawyer for the RCT, in dialogue with EL COLOMBIANO.

TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/06-Dec-2021/Martina Caldera
Martina was found dead near the I-10 overpass. Although initially thought to have been the victim of a motor vehicle accident, she died after being shot.
Family members of Martina Caldera, a 38-year old transgender woman, are heartbroken and want answers following the death of their loved one in December.
"We're torn apart. It’s hard on us because we also lost my father to COVID and now this," said Noel Caldera, Martina's older brother. "It’s been a rough couple of years for our family."
Martina, of Baytown, was found dead on Dec. 6 near an overpass on the East Freeway at Sheldon Road in Channelview.
Upon arrival, deputies initially believed her death was the result of a motor vehicle accident, the Harris County Sheriff's Office said in a release. However, investigators with the vehicular crime division determined that Martina was shot several times.
Her brother Noel, who went to the scene and barely recalls seeing any droplets of blood, believes she was shot somewhere else and dumped there.
"I think somebody pulled [her] out of the car and pulled off," Caldera said to the Chronicle.
Caldera said everyone in their large family accepted Martina as a transgender woman, but he personally still calls her his brother.
He believes her gender identity ultimately contributed to her death.
In April 2024 James McNutt, 54, was arrested for her murder.
HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- A 54-year-old man has been arrested and charged with murder for the 2021 shooting death of a 38-year-old transgender woman, according to Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
James McNutt currently sits in Harris County Jail for his alleged role in Martina Caldera's killing, Gonzalez said on Thursday.
Caldera was shot on Dec. 6, 2021, at about 7 a.m. in the 15700 block of East Freeway at Sheldon Road. At the time, authorities had responded to some sort of a vehicle crash, but by the time deputies arrived, they found Caldera had suffered several gunshot wounds.
Despite the arrest, the reason behind Caldera's murder is still unknown.

Derya was found dead in a parking lot on the night of 4th December. Her death is considered suspicious.
Trans woman Derya (36) was found dead in a car park in Ankara's S?hhiye on the night of December 4. The cause of her death is being investigated.
Speaking to Kaos GL Association, Derya's friends have said that Derya's deceased body was found by the security guards working at the car park. The deceased body of the woman has been sent to the Keçiören Forensic Medicine Institution for a postmortem examination.
The Pembe Hayat (Pink Life) Association and the K?rm?z? ?emsiye (Red Umbrella) Association have released a written statement and announced that they will follow up the investigation into her death.
The associations noted, "With her body sent to the forensic medicine institution for an autopsy because 'her death was suspicious', Derya's death is not suspicious. It is without a doubt that Derya was the victim of a 'murder'. It is an undeniable fact that, in our geography, trans people unfortunately wage a fight in conditions of police state and state of emergency." Raising concerns about the impunity for the crimes against trans people in Turkey, the associations have briefly added:
"When the autopsy reports come out, we may well learn that Derya was not killed by someone, but hanged herself, which would not change the fact that Derya was the victim of a murder.
Deprived of all types of social and public support mechanisms, systematically deprived of all constitutional rights, excluded from public space, turned into a target of organized evil and violence by the state as well and with their deceased bodies found in a field, a construction site, a car park or a highway not met 'with surprise or awe' by society, trans people's suicides, about the reasons of which we do not think much, but we all know, are murders, even if they are suicides.

She loved her family. Her mother, Jennifer, her father, Garth, and her wife Mae. She always spoke of them with the utmost affection. For her, her family was everything. Family was her life, her force, her reason for being.
She was a writer, and had been working on a book. She was an accomplished bowler who always loved the opportunity to throw a ball down a lane. She liked role playing games, she played the clarinet, baseball, and always had new hobbies or interests that caught her eye.

My daughter’s chosen name was Charlie Hel Zoey Griffiths. She was born on August 3rd 2005 and died by suicide on December 1, 2021, aged 16. Charlie was a beautiful soul who asked that we spread love, kindness, and social justice as she would have done had she felt able to go on living in a body that she despised and a world where she saw so much hate.

Charlie was originally from Burlington and is dearly missed by her loving, affirming family. Her obituary reflects this and is reproduced below:
It is with unspeakable sadness and broken hearts we say goodbye to our beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, and friend, Charlie Griffiths, who passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, December 1, 2021, at the age of 16, following a difficult struggle with depression.
Charlie will be dearly missed every day by her adoring mum and dad Rachel and Carl, her brother and best friend James, her grandparents, John & Anne-Louise Watts and John & Barbara Griffiths, Aunt Victoria (Andrew), Uncle Matthew (Gabriela), and cousins Charlotte, Daniel, Emma and Benjamin, as well as her many friends.
Charlie was born August 3, 2005 in Hamilton, Ontario and grew up in Kilbride, Ontario. From the moment she arrived, she was a source of light and laughter to those around her. With her striking blonde hair and bright blue eyes, we often wondered how she possibly could be related to the rest of us. Yet with her humour, avid love of both history and reading (oftentimes combined), and quick wit, she was unmistakably a Griffiths-Watts.
Never one to follow the crowd, Charlie was always her own person, whether that was wearing head-to-toe pastel pink or naming herself after the Norse goddess of the underworld. She was a natural on the stage and could command an audience with her quirky humour and energy. She was an incredibly kind and sensitive soul, who made friends easily and was universally well-liked.
Charlie was never happier than when she was playing Warhammer with her brother and best buddy James, cuddling her dogs, or reading her beloved Lord of the Rings and fantasy novels.
Sadly, over the past couple of years, Charlie struggled under the weight of depression, and carried with her a great pain made worse by the isolation of the pandemic. Despite this she remained funny and quick witted, a star whose light shone in realms others often couldn't understand. Yet for those who were lucky enough to be in her orbit, she was a gift of infinite proportions.
It is deeply symptomatic of the nastiness inherent in our society that when her godfather wrote her loss on on Twitter on Trans Day of Remembrance 2022 he was trolled so much by haters that he ended up deleting his post.
Almost a yr ago I lost my goddaughter Charlie who despite deep love at home, couldn’t find that same support for trans people in the wider world.
As a godfather and priest I say this on #TransDayOfRemembrance you are not saving kids by hating trans people. You’re killing them.

Artemisa Domínguez

Chicoloapan, Estado de México (Mexico)
Beaten
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/29-Dec-2021/Artemisa Dominguez
Artemisa died in hospital after being beaten by her boyfriend. Her religious family (who had beaten and humiliated by her in life) erased her identity in death.
Although we do not know the exact date of Artemisa's death she was buried on 29th November 2021.
Today, while the lGbtiq+ Awards were being held by @ImpulseCDMX, on the periphery we buried one of our sisters, Artemisa Domínguez, who came from a fanatically religious family. From the moment Artemisa discovered her gender identity she was expelled from her home with blows and humiliations, which were repeated whenever possible by her family. A fight in a bar then caused her brain damage, and finally the beating that her boyfriend gave her sent her to the hospital where she was diagnosed brain dead.
And there was nothing else to do, but herordeal did not end there, because even when she was dead, her family cut her hair and dressed her as a man, "He was born a man, he was always a man and that's how we will say goodbye" repeated her sister and mother without the slightest sign of pain.
Her struggle in life was painful, her death even more so, and in that fateful ending she could do nothing to claim the identity that had cost her so much. It was hard to hear her 'DeadName' at every moment, they wanted to erase our sister, Artemis.
But her memory will shine forever in our fight, a fight from the periphery, wrapped in machismo, misogyny and religious fanaticism, a fight that is rarely heard, but that resists. Artemis, sister, fly high and always shine on #nosotrans

Segovia, Antioquia (Colombia)
Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/28-Nov-2021/Estrella
Estrella was shot in her home after an argument.
A transgender woman was killed Sunday night in the municipality of Segovia, northeast of Antioquia.
The 28-year-old, identified as Estrella, was at her home when men arrived and shot her several times.
After hearing this case, the Trans Community Network regretted the fact, again demanding guarantees for the LGBTI community in the country.
“The murders of trans women do not stop in Colombia. Nine days ago we were burying Antonella Alexandra in Arauca and yesterday Estrella was murdered in the municipality of Segovia. Several men came to her house and murdered her. It seems that our lives are not worth it, "they said on their Twitter account.
The crime occurred in the Galán neighborhood, an urban area of Segovia, according to the Antioquia Police report.
A suspect was subsequently arrested.
A subject named with the alias of 'Walter' was sent to jail after being accused of the murder of 'Estrella', a well-known inhabitant of Segovia, Antioquia.
The events he is accused of occurred on November 28 of this year in the Galán neighborhood of the lower part of the Antioquia municipality, where the 28-year-old victim was attacked with a firearm. Apparently, alias 'Walter', who is also accused of being a presumed leader of the 'Clan del Golfo', would have accused 'Estrella' of stealing his cell phone and for that he attacked her.
The suspect was captured and presented before a judge for the crime of aggravated homicide and although he did not accept the charges, he was sent to prison.

Throat cut

Apinat's body was found floating in a pond. Her throat had been cut by a man she was seeing, and who subsequently confessed to killing her.
Police Captain Pannawit Boonchum of Ban Sang Police Station was notified on Thursday that a body was found near a pond in the Ban Sang District of the province by a 76-year-old man who had gone there to bathe his feet.
When Captain Pannawit arrived at the scene there was already a rescue service in attendance. The body had been retrieved from the water where it was earlier found lying face down and floating wearing a black T-Shirt. Police have identified the victim as 24-year-old Ms Apinat Plookpluem, a [trans woman] who lived in a village located in the sub-district of Bang Taen nearby.
The victim’s body is reported to have had a distinctive black Tantra tattoo on his back with five rows on the left-hand side while on the right there was a bird wing illustration. The deceased had suffered a sharp neck wound that appeared to have cut through the younger []woman’s] throat. Forensic experts estimated that the body had been in the pond for approximately three days.
Investigating police officers quickly established that the victim had previously been in contact with 26-year-old Worawat Chanthiam who resided in the Bang Nam Priao District of Chachoengsao province on the social network site Facebook. The suspect Mr Worawat was arrested by police on Thursday riding his red Honda motorcycle near his home and brought to Ban Sang Police Station.
Police have reported that he has confessed to the crime and is now being charged in connection with the killing. He said he had arranged the rendezvous with Ms Apinat, his transgender lover, at the bridge and explained to [her] that their relationship had to end. It was causing him severe difficulties at home with his wife. However, Apinat did not agree and refused to cut off all contact with the man. This had angered Mr Worawat who said he then drove his motorcycle back and forth until finally stopping. He had resolved to launch an attack on the [woman] with a sharp knife that he carried with him.
After the murder, police retrieved potential evidence at the scene including Ms Apinat’s mobile phone, shoes and the murder weapon which the killer dropped into the Bang Khanak canal. On Thursday, police brought the accused back to the scene to reenact the crime while police divers continued to work searching the pond where the body was found and the canal for evidence. Divers found the damaged smartphone underwater after being directed to the spot by the accused man.
Later, investigating reporters who contacted a friend of the deceased, discovered that he had, in the past, dated many people including other transgender partners he met on an online dating application.

Cesi and a cisgender man who was with her were both shot dead inside Cesi's home by armed assilants. A woman named Raquel was also injured in the attack.
Cesi de Rosas , a trans woman affectionately known to her loved ones as Mama Osa , was murdered on November 21, 2021, inside her own home located in the municipality of Uxpanapa , Veracruz state.
According to local media, the crime occurred around 5:40 am Cesi was inside her house located on Venustiano Carranza street, almost on the corner of Corregidora, when she was shot at . Along with her was killed a man whose identity has not been disclosed. In addition, a woman named Raquel was injured and was taken to a hospital.
The circumstances in which Mama Osa was murdered are symptomatic of transphobic violence in Veracruz. Cesi was just 36 years old. In other words, she was barely 1 year older than the average lifespan of trans people in Latin America, which according to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights is 35 years.
In addition, Cesi Rosas was murdered in Veracruz, a state where in 2021 at least 16 other hate crimes against gay men and trans women are counted . But Cesi is much more than a figure. She is a person who will be loved and remembered in her community. Mama Osa was a hard-working trans woman who struggled to get ahead. She was known in Uxpanapa for taking care of her business , the Las Potras bar . In addition, she was dedicated to the sale of shoes , the quintessential product of the Jáltipan community, where she was originally from.

Gabriela Cabrera ("Gabi")
Age 2313 Nov 2021
San Lorenzo, Central (Paraguay)
Not reported
Gabi's body was found alongside a stream on Thursday 11th November. Eight months earlier she had been kidnapped, tortured and then thrown into the same stream by a group of men.
The 23-year-old transgender girl, Gabriela Cabrera, was found dead on Thursday, November 11, on the banks of the San Lorenzo stream, located on calles Saturio Ríos and Fortín Arce in the city of San Lorenzo. Gabi , as her relatives affectionately called her, was a volunteer at Casa Diversa, the first home in Paraguay for LGBT victims of violence. In March of this year six men had kidnapped her, beat her and tortured her inside a vehicle , and then threw her into the San Lorenzo stream.
Eight months later, the police found her dead in the same place. Her neighbors saw Gabi on the ground with a man crying over her motionless body. At 10:00 in the morning, they notified both the human rights activist, Yren Rotela and the family, and they went together to identify the body of the young transgender woman. According to Rotela, the person who was sleeping next to Gabi's lifeless body is Reinaldo Manuel Fernández Gonzalez, her 25-year-old partner.
The prosecution ordered Reinaldo's arrest and an investigatory statement was taken from him, but he was detained for less than six hours. In communication with Presentes , the prosecutor Gerardo Mosqueira said that they did not detain him because they did not gather enough evidence to do so. "We cannot accuse just to impute, we have to have elements to support an accusation," he said.
However, Reinaldo stated that before finding her dead, they had had an argument. That he left her for ten minutes and that, when he returned, he found her lifeless, with a rope wrapped around her neck very close to a tree. “He told us that Gabi hung herself from the tree. That they were together, then he left the place and that when he returned he already found Gabi hanging by the tree. Then, from the fright, he jumped over it and there the rope was released and they fell to the ground together and fell asleep. That was the scene that we found, ”says Mosqueira.
The prosecutor indicated that the forensic doctor determined in a preliminary way that it could be a case of suicide, but to determine the real cause of death, the body was subjected to an autopsy. "Last Friday the autopsy was carried out and the result will be in two or three weeks, where it will be possible to determine whether it was a suicide or not," adds Mosqueira. Her family and loved ones demanded that the case be thoroughly investigated.
For Yren it is not clear that it is a suicide. He is struck by the fact that everything happened in a period of 10 minutes, that the rope broke when they fell to the ground together and that Gabi's body did not show any signs of blows. Yren saw her for the last time on Tuesday afternoon the 9th. On that occasion, she asked her how she was and Gabi told her that he had injuries, that some men beat her at the weekend. “They humiliated me a lot,” she told Yren, who noticed that Gabi was limping on one leg. She also told her that her head hurt, a fact that Mónica, a health promoter for the Panambí Association, confirmed.
Three days before she died Gabi had been beaten by a group of men ouside a bowling alley.
On Saturday 13, Yren published on her social networks two videos recorded at dawn on Saturday, November 6, [three] days before Gabi's lifeless appearance, in which she is clearly seen being attacked by a group of men at the exit of a bowling alley in San Lorenzo. "On Friday those images come to me," says Yren, "when I make Gabi's death public, the people who recorded the video write to me on my social networks."
Gabi practiced sex work on the corner of one of the nightclubs and frequented that location. One of the people who contacted Yren with the images of that night says that, for fun, they throw a loaded champagne bottle at him and then a glass of chopp directly at her head. "That is the one I see later when we meet days later. Then, she reacts because she felt hurt and starts throwing bottles in the middle of the road. At that moment, one of the bottles crosses and it is said that it was through a windshield ”, he says.
One of the people who shared the video with Yren told her that they desperately called 911 but [the emergency services] never came. She was lying on the ground for more than an hour. In the video, only a woman in a black shirt is seen pushing away the people who beat her and gettingg Gabi out of the way. “She was beaten by more than 10 people for 20 minutes. Those who were inside one of the clubs filmed and gave me the video. And there were security guards who saw everything and did not defend Gabi, ”says the activist.
Gabi liked to dance and act. She was closely involved with Casa Diversa and was part of the artistic cast of Transformando Realidades.
In March she had also been attacked:
Around 11:00 this Monday, a 22-year-old trans woman was found on the banks of the San Lorenzo stream, in the city of the same name. The information was confirmed by activist Yren Rotela, who told TODAY that this person was tied hand and foot and gagged at the time of her rescue. After being transferred to a healthcare center for a medical inspection, it was found that this person had traces of trauma in various parts of the body such as the rib and stomach.
According to the victim's account, she was attacked between 5 and 6 in the morning by a group of unknown men, who beat her when she was on her back and left her unconscious, later placing a bag on her head before taking her into a private vehicle. After several hours disappeared, her attackers left her on the banks of the stream, a place from where she would have crawled until she reached a nearby house, being helped by the owner of the house who was in charge of calling the police, Rotela mentioned.
The trans woman attacked was a sex worker who was making her usual journey to the center of San Lorenzo, as detailed. In addition to having been beaten, it is not ruled out that the victim has also been the subject of a rape, a diagnosis that could not be precisely confirmed.

Haley Gabriella Feldmann was born on November 18, 2002. She was called boy and so we gave her a boy name—now a dead name. We gave her boy clothes, boy toys, boy things. We didn’t know she was our daughter and so we called her son and brother. Haley spent the first several years of her life content, within and without. She knew nothing of judgment or ridicule. She knew nothing but the love of her family, which she gave back in abundance.
During her adolescent years she retreated into herself and we lost her. She became silent . . . distant. She built formidable walls that became impossible to breach, and she stubbornly refused to grant us passage. She had begun to grow afraid of the world as she began to understand herself and who she was, and the reality of her situation became apparent. The more she learned of how the world would judge her for not being who it thought she should be, the more she withdrew. She was an atheist, unable to believe in any religion or deity that taught condemnation of her for not submitting to its beliefs of who she should be. She was a child of God, made perfectly in his image, her body only a vessel for the beautiful soul He created and with which He graced us. She laughed and she loved, and though her humor was dark, her nature was light. Her kindness, her empathy, her hope for others, and her desire to help anyone in need was a blinding light she shone on everyone but herself.
Haley gave us the gift of her truth, trusted us to see beyond her body to her soul, to believe her, and to love her. We will always be grateful for the chance to have her as she was and not who we had thought her to be. Now we call her daughter and sister and we closed ranks around her to protect her and to keep her safe from the willful ignorance that surrounds her. Our daughter Haley spent most days wreaking havoc on the universe, her time spent being “Imperial Empress of the Galaxies, Conqueror of Solar Systems, Creator of Planets and Nations, Destroyer of Stars”, and loving and adoring Lucy, her best friend and the Best Dog Ever, who loved and adored her in equal measure. She created her own language with a full alphabet and rules, spending years revising and perfecting it, and, in typical Haley fashion, did not leave a key. She created her own maps, detailed in geography, and her own countries, rich in their histories. She dropped out of school and then graduated before her peers, which made her immensely proud. She taught herself history, geography, politics, and never hesitated to school anyone on the finer points of each. And she was usually correct.
Haley lived most comfortably in a Discord community of just under six hundred people from all over the world, each of whom loved and adored her. We are just beginning to learn of her profound impact within the community and we are grateful they had her and she was loved by them. Her soul was radiant there, unhindered by its physical representation here which had become a prison, freeing her to breathe and be.
Haley ended her life on November 12, 2021, her pain being too great. She had grown weary of the knowledge of her reality, knowing this country and this world would never stop trying to force her to submit to its ignorance, and her family rages for her. We would’ve burned the whole world down if we’d thought it would keep her safe, and our fury and outrage is eclipsed only by our grief. We struggle against the currents that try to carry us away from love, for those currents only take us further from her. And she is far enough, already.

Helen Brigette Maldonado Maldonado
Age 28 (born 29 Nov 1992)12 Nov 2021
Guayaquil, Guayas (Ecuador)
Murdered
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/12-Nov-2021/Helen Brigette Maldonado
Helen was one of 68 inmates killed during a riot in Penitenciaría del Litoral de Ecuador on the night of Friday 12th November.
The country's prison system has been under a state of emergency since 29th September after the worst prison massacre recorded in the country, which took place in the same prison. A list of those killed in the riot given to their families shows Helen as the 34th victim.
She was 20 years old when she decided to give in to her transformation. Her preference for the feminine and her delicate treatment cost her pain, rejection, loneliness ... Nothing prevented her skin from giving space to the name she chose: Helen.
Each letter was engraved on her arm along with ink-stained stars. That is now one of the few signs to identify her remains . Helen Maldonado was murdered on the violent night of November 12, 2021, in Penitenciaría del Litoral de Ecuador. She died 17 days before her 29th birthday, while serving a 30-month prison sentence after a few grams of H.
Before the massacre, she and other trans-women asked for help. Odalys Cayambe says that they knew that a new bloody attack was being prepared and they begged for their transfer from the Peni to the priority area of ??the Regional prison a few meters away, where serving sentences is a little more bearable for the [LGBT+] population.
“Helen is just the voice of what we have asked the State for years: respect for identity, gender expression, clothing in the prison system. We are and were there - in men's prisons - because we have a penis; the rest don't matter to them ”.
Odalys directs the Trans Community Network of Ecuador Vivir Libre, which since 2017 has supported more than 200 transsexual women who were and are incarcerated for street fights, drug use or because they are accused of robbery by clients seeking sexual services. That is how she met Helen, in ward 6. She still does not know how she got to the transitional area, where she was massacred. The torture, says Odalys, begins much earlier, as soon as they set foot in the cells. “Being inside is a matter of survival, of existing and resisting. One way of resisting is prostitution, they are forced to be slaves of the system, to be mules… ”.
Helen made her living as a hairdresser and sex worker and had been in prison for more than a year, serving a 30 month sentence in a men's prison for possession of a small quantity of heroin.
Diane Rodriguez , national director of the Ecuadorian Federation of LGBTI Organizations, recalls that Helen Maldonado arrived in Guayaquil and worked in a hairdresser and also worked as a sex worker. Helen was arrested for micro-trafficking of drugs and was serving a sentence of two and a half years, according to information published by the digital medium EdicionCientonce , which also indicates that in March 2022, Helen could request a change to the semi-open rehabilitation regime , which consists of to serve the rest of the sentence outside of prison with family, labor, social or community reintegration activities.
Although Helen was not an activist in the LGBTI community, "she knew about and was linked to organizational spaces, but she did not articulate as an activist, " says Diane. Community members who knew her, says Diane, remember that Helen was a shy person and that her arrest was a surprise, because she was not linked to any gang.
When the massacre started, Helen was able to call her mother and tell her what was happening, Diane recalls. Helen's mother and sister lived through the ordeal of families searching for the bodies of their loved ones. Both had to identify Helen's body, first among the remains of those who were dismembered, not finding her there, they were taken with the cremated bodies, where they recognized her body.
According to a report published in Indómita , one day before the massacre, “Helen Brigitte took a photo, in profile, smiling, loose hair, shorts and a red, white and blue striped diver and sent it by WhatsApp to a group of friends with two words: "I'm fine ." Shots had already been heard all week in the Penitentiary.
Despite the fact that Helen was a trans woman, she was being held in a men's prison. Their story is a "voice", Odalys Cayambe , director of the trans organization Vivir Libres, told local media. The mistreatment that Helen received as a person of gender diversity, also happens with 60 other trans women who are in the Penitentiary , according to Cayambe told Indómita .

Angel Naira

Aliquippa, Pennsylvania (USA)
Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/11-Nov-2021/Angel Naira
Angel was found dead from gunshot injuries in her home after police responded to a 911 call seeking a welfare check for her.
On the cusp of the 2021 Trans Day of Remembrance (TDoR), Western Pennsylvania has lost a fourth trans person to the campaign of terror haunting the lives of our trans, nonbinary, and gendernonconforming neighbors.
Angel Naira, 36, was found dead from gunshot injuries in her Aliquippa home in Beaver County. Police responded to a 911 call seeking a welfare check for Angel.
“A female says a [person] is unresponsive. Not breathing. Said the apartment was broken into,” a 911 dispatcher said in audio obtained by KDKA. “The apartment was broken into. Some sort of disturbance there.”
According to her brother, she worked for home health care full time, was a graduate from Aliquippa High School, and graduated from Beaver Falls Beauty Academy. Media reports – all misgendering and deadnaming her – report she was found with gunshot injuries. Online reports suggest she was physically beaten, but that’s unclear. Pennsylvania State Police are leading the investigations.
Once again, a victim’s loved ones have to add setting the record straight with media outlets and law enforcement who are universally reporting inaccurate information. There’s very little follow up reporting on her death, no information on the investigation, nothing. It is an almost deliberate erasure of Angel entirely. I expect so much more from Pittsburgh media.
On Friday 17th February 2023 Pennsylvania State Police announced that they had arrested and charged Darrel Raines, 46, on homicide and weapons charges. In October 2024 he was found guilty of first degree murder.

A 27-year-old young [woman] was found dead in the early hours of the morning of this Monday, November 8, by a group of people walking through a hilly area in the Brisas de Santa Elena sector of Carirubana municipality in Falcón state.
The victim identified as [deadname] Díaz Jiménez, who was known as "Joyi" and lived a few meters from where she was found dead. For several years she had dressed as a woman, but she gradually went down a bad path that led to her death.
On several occasions "Joyi" was arrested for robbery and assault, it also emerged that she had been using drugs since she was a teenager, It is assumed that these could be among the reasons she was murdered.
Neighbors explained that they did not hear shots. “We did not see any injuries on her body and she was face down with blood dripping from one ear. Maybe they killed her with a gun, but if it was with a firearm, no shots were heard, "said one of the people who observed the body.
This case was registered a week after a trans person was murdered in Bella Vista in the same town and for which a 19-year-old young man was detained.

Jenny De Leon
Age 25 (born 8 Dec 1995)2 Nov 2021
Tampa, Florida (USA)
Murdered
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/02-Nov-2021/Jenny De Leon
Jenny was found dead on the morning of Tuesday 2nd November and her death is being treated as homicide. She was homeless and was being supported by PFLAG Tampa.
The death of Jenny De Leon, a 25-year-old Guatemalan trans woman, marks the 46th violent death of a trans person in America reported thus far in 2021, continuing an anti-trans violence epidemic that has already been declared the worst year on record.
Police found De Leon’s body outside of a house in the Sulphur Springs neighborhood in Tampa, Florida on November 2 before 6 a.m., according to local Fox affiliate Fox 13. Little else is known about her death at this time, but the Tampa Police Department noted in a Facebook post that De Leon was experiencing homelessness.
De Leon was able to find placement in a home through two members of PFLAG Tampa, a local chapter of a national LGBTQ+ organization, according to a statement released November 10 on the chapter’s Facebook page. The organization also wrote that it was “devastated” to hear of De Leon’s murder, and that she had attended chapter meetings seeking support at the outset of her transition.
“Jenny was an enigmatic, bright soul with enough energy to fill any room,” the organization wrote.
In March 2022 Damien Marshall was charged with first degree murder. He also allegedly killed a cisgender woman named Linda Harris, 54, on 27th September.
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Tampa police announced first-degree murder charges for a 40-year-old Tampa man in the deaths of two separate women from 2021.
Police said Damien Marshall was named as a person of interest in both homicides using surveillance, DNA, and other techniques. He was originally arrested on Nov. 16 for failure to register as a sex offender, which he is still in jail for. The murder charges were added following an investigation.
The first victim, identified as Linda Harris, was found dead by construction workers in a home set for demolition on East Sligh Avenue on Sept. 27. She suffered from upper-body trauma and her death was eventually ruled a homicide.
The next victim, a 25-year-old homeless woman identified as just “Jenny”, was found by police on Nov. 2 after they were called to the area of 9th Street and Fairbanks Avenue in Sulfur Springs.

Stabbed
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/31-Oct-2021/A. G.
A. G. died after being stabbed in the throat by a customer at the massage centre where she worked. She was a Thai national who had arrived in Georgia only two weeks earlier.
Georgian law enforcers have arrested one individual for stabbing a [Thai] transgender woman in a massage parlor in central Tbilisi late on October 31.
The woman died at the scene, while another employee of the massage centre, who was also stabbed by the same 23-year-old man, is now undergoing treatment in a clinic in Tbilisi. Doctors say that the health condition of the patient is stable.
Massage centre employees told journalists that the deceased woman was a 38-year-old Thai citizen who came to Georgia two weeks ago.
They said that three individuals came to the massage centre on Sunday and left after some time. One of the three individuals, who was allegedly denied a particular service, returned with a knife and stabbed both victims.
Police did not say whether the detainee is a citizen of Georgia, only that he was arrested in Tbilisi. He has been charged with premeditated murder, which is punishable by 7 to 15 years in prison.
The assailant had apparently asked for "additional services" from the victim, which she refused.
New details in the case of the murder in Vera - a 38-year-old transgender woman killed on Akhvlediani Street. The "Courier" exclusively filmed the scene - a massage center where a Thai citizen worked. Another woman was injured. The woman was rushed to a clinic shortly after the accident and was soon discharged due to her health condition. He is already at a Thai massage center, though he has a hard time remembering what happened late last night.
Other employees of the center recall the incident in detail. They say that a confrontation took place between the massage specialist and the customer, after the customer requested additional services in addition to the massage, which he was refused.
"Everything happened very quickly, someone knocked, the girl opened the door, then a man stabbed her in the throat. We did not know this man before, we had not seen him. It happened, we know nothing more. The dead girl had no problem with anyone, she was a very good person." - says one of the employees of the center.

Strangled
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/31-Oct-2021/Huapaya Morales
Huapaya Morales and her friend Pedro Prado Asin (a well known cisgender LGBTIQ activist) were found strangled in Pedro's home. Their bodies showed signs of torture.
Pedro Prado Asin (74 [a trusted source says 68]), was known among his friends, as an activist for the human rights of people with HIV. He and his partner Huapaya Morales (52) were murdered on the last Sunday in October by two suspects who are suspected to be foreigners.
Both victims were in Prado Asin’s house, celebrating the Day of the Creole Song, when in the early hours of the morning, alone and accompanied by two young people who work in their house cleaning.
When neighbors heard screams they thought that it was a domestic fight, but in reality they [Pedro and Huapaya] had been handcuffed and were being tortured. Their assilants were apparently of Venezuelan nationality. In addition to murdering them, the young criminals stole televisions, laptops, a computer among other electronic equipment, leaving the house destroyed.
Police personnel, who reached the 14 block of calle Las Obsidianas, in the Balconcillo urbanization of the La Victoria district, immediately surrounded the house so that investigators could begin. Upon arrival, the prosecutor on duty authorized the removal of the bodies.
At the crime scene, the body of Huapaya Morales was found on the first floor of the building, while the body of Prado Asin was found on the second floor. Due to the cruelty to which they were subjected, it is suspected that it was due to their [gender and sexual orientation] that the killing constitutes a hate crime.

Rikkey Outumuro ("Tru Starlet")
Age 3931 Oct 2021
Centralia, Washington (USA)
Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/31-Oct-2021/Rikkey Outumuro
Rikkey was shot at least 5 times by her 28-year-old boyfriend. Her body was found on their sofa next to their 6-year old son, who survived the attack.
Her name was Rikkey Outumuro, also known by her stage name Tru Starlet. Rikkey was a 39-year-old Latina transgender woman and performer. She was fatally shot in Centralia, Washington, on the night of Oct. 30 or the morning of Oct. 31, 2021.
Rikkey was killed by her 28-year-old boyfriend who shot her at least five times and left her body on their sofa, next to their six-year-old son. The killer is in jail without bail, charged with first degree murder and other charges. He has a history of gun violations. Their son is with Rikkey’s family.
Rikkey died due to domestic violence, a scourge that often is overlooked in the LGBTQ community. According to HRC:
Tragically, interpersonal violence accounts for a significant number of fatalities against transgender and gender non-conforming people. In 2020, approximately seven in ten transgender and gender non-conforming people killed as a result of fatal violence were killed by an acquaintance, friend, family member or intimate partner. Unfortunately, the relationship of the victim to the killer is still unknown for close to one-third (30%) of all known cases. This means that anywhere from 44% to 74% of victims since 2013 were violently killed by someone they knew, including intimate partners, family members, friends, peers and acquaintances.
Rikkey’s friends and loved ones are sharing their fond memories across social media. She is remembered as an active and ardent member of the queer community, a frequent performer at local Pride events, and a vibrant friend.
She was always profoundly herself and a brilliant light for countless loved ones and folx in Centralia and Olympia, WA.
A vigil for Rikkey took place on 5th November in Pine Street Plaza.
The local LGBTQIA+ community is mourning Rikkey Outumuro, who was killed in Centralia this weekend.
Outumuro was a former Miss Gay Lewis County and was an active member of the Lewis County LGBTQIA+ community, performing at Pride events under the name Tru Starlet.
When she was crowned the first Miss Gay Lewis County in 2008, she told The Chronicle, “I think my job is to represent the gay community to Lewis County, and show people that we are real, and we are here, and more out than ever.”
She recently performed at Olympia’s pride festival hosted by Capital City Pride in June. “It was a blessing to have her brighten up our stage,” said Capital City Pride in a Facebook post.
Capital City Pride has started a fundraiser on Facebook to aid Outumuro’s family with funeral expenses.

Suicide
Joey died by suicide. His obituary deadnamed and misgendered him.
This morning I woke up finding out one of my dead trans brothers from Mt. Airy/Low Gap, North Carolina, down by where I used to live, us no longer here. I also saw the funeral home butchered his obituary as well. Deadnaming, misgendering him, and mispronouncing him through the entire article, which is not surprising considering how transphobic they are, but still, I am heart broken beyond words, today is sad day. I'm so fucking sad, hurt, and angry for Joey, he lost his mother, and she was so precious to him. He went through way too much abuse and trauma, alone.
I love you so much, I'm so sorry, you deserved so much better, brother. You were an exceptonal man. Rest in peace, love, power & freedom: Joey (JoJo) Spencer.

Boise, Idaho (USA)
Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/25-Oct-2021/Jo Acker
Jo was in the early stages of her transition. She died after confronting a gunman who attacked the shopping mall where she worked as a security guard.
Her actions undoubtedly saved many lives and she is being remembered as a hero. Robert Padilla Arguelles, a father who was shopping for gifts for his family, was also killed in the attack.
A transgender woman working as a security guard was killed when a gunman opened fire at the Boise Towne Square Mall in Idaho Monday, and her family members say she took actions that undoubtedly saved many lives there.
Jo Acker, 26, confronted the shooter on the first floor of the mall near a department store, according to a police report. The gunman, now identified as Jacob Bergquist, 27, shot Acker, and she died at the scene. Another person at the mall, Roberto Padilla Arguelles, 49, was killed, and at least four people were injured. Bergquist was taken into custody Monday and died the next day; police said there had been an “exchange of gunfire” with him.
Acker’s partner and siblings say she died a hero; she ran toward Bergquist, hoping to stop him. “She was confronting the suspect. She was helping people be safe and get out of the way and they shot at her,” Ray Dawn, Acker’s partner of nearly three years, told the Idaho Statesman. “I was told she was helping people and saving them. ... I know she would have wanted to make everyone else safe. She would have been the first one to go down to confront somebody.”
In the Statesman interview, Dawn noted that Acker “hated bullies more than anything else” and added, “She would see anybody in trouble, no matter how uncomfortable or awkward it would be, she would stop whatever she was doing to make sure that the other person is safe.”
Jo was a parent to a 3-year old daughter, loved video games and was known for her willingness to help others.
Dawn said Acker was “one of the strangest, quirkiest individuals I’ve ever known” and was a “proud nerd” who loved video games such as World of Warcraft. Kevin Goncalves, who served in the Army with Acker in Italy and Latvia, also mentioned her enthusiasm for video games as well as her willingness to help others, such as new recruits. He wasn’t surprised she was a hero, he told the Statesman.
She “always stuck up for people [when] others were being disrespected,” Goncalves said. “Always stood up for the right thing, even if it brought trouble. That was always something I admired about Jo.”
Acker had a 3-year-old daughter, Everay. The family has set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for Everay’s support. (Editor's note: The GoFundMe misgenders Acker.)

Tal Piterbraut-Merx
Age 29 (born 23 Aug 1992)25 Oct 2021
Paris (France)
Suicide
Tal died by suicide. He was an activist, university student and author who was dedicated to progressive causes.
On this day we mourn the loss of our comrade (and for some, our friend) Tal Piterbraut-Merx who passed away on Monday, October 25, 2021.
A dedicated militant, a brilliant university student, prolific author and comrade, Tal identified himself as a gouine and was on all fronts or almost: anti-capitalist fights, fights against adult domination, feminist fights, emancipation fights queer, of course the anti-racist fights.
Tal joined the Revolutionary Jews and Jews collective on shared findings: the violence of anti-Semitism and the absence of organization on the left to oppose it. The one of the deficiencies existing in our social camp in terms of analysis and fighting anti-Semitism. The one of the need to articulate fighting anti-Semitism and fight against all forms of oppression and exploitation. On the need also to positively reinvest justice, through the struggle, but also the rediscovering of Jewish cultural and historical heritage.
Tal brought into the collective his energy, his involvement, his humanity. He participated in building public interventions of the collective. This is how he was found at the stand of the gathering in memory of Ilan Halimi in 2021. Tal was also very involved in the creation and animation of anti-Semitism trainings. As in his fights against child abuse, developing a pedagogy to train anti-racist fights was a fundamental form of action for him. He shared his knowledge, his political views, his ideas.
Many of us recognized ourselves in his, in her journey and in what she was relentlessly fighting against: violence against children, violence of patriarchy, anti-Semitism, racism, capitalism, which translates to everyday da Our lives and in the flesh. His suicide, like the too many before him, reminds us bitterly that this mortal social order must be shot down without a change. Because this is especially the incest of which our comrade died.
His thought, his action and his revolutionary commitment, but also his bright and malicious personality will remain in our memories for a long time. He was undoubtedly an example of what our political camp can give the best.
Our organization and the entire Diaspora can be very proud to have a person like Tal in their ranks. We will honor him by continuing his fight to victory.
Tal Piterbraut-Merx, may your memory be a source of revolution.

23 Oct 2021
Charsadda, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Pakistan)
Shot
Gulalai was shot and killed at her home by her ex son-in-law after a heated argument. Her killer was convicted and sentenced to death.
CHARSADDA: A district and sessions judge here on Friday convicted a man for killing a transgender person last year and awarded him death sentence with a fine of Rs1 million.
Judge Sofia Waqar Khattak pronounced that the evidence on record connected the accused, Shah Faisal, with commission of the offence. The court ruled that in case of non-payment of fine, the convict would undergo additional six months imprisonment.
Faisal, a resident of Paindakhel area here, had killed transgender individual, namely [deadname] alias Gulalai, after exchanging hot words with [her] on Oct 23, 2021. The complainant in the case was Akhter Hussain, a brother of the deceased.
District public prosecutor Javed Ali Mohmand and public prosecutor Mohammadullah Khan appeared before the court and contended that the police had arrested the accused after the occurrence and the weapon used in the offence was also recovered from him.
They contended that the accused was directly charged in the FIR and the prosecution had fully proved its case against him.
A daughter of the deceased, Hayat Gul of Babara area, reported to the Nesata police station that a year ago, she was married to the suspected killer, Qasid. But, she said some days ago, the accused had divorced her on some domestic dispute, and she started living with her father.
She said on the day of the incident, her former husband visited their house and insisted she go with him to his house. She said her father refused, telling him she couldn’t go with him after she was divorced. On which, she said the accused opened fire, killing her father on the spot.
Gulalai's name was not recorded on the official TDoR 2022 memorial list released by Transgender Europe (TGEU) in November 2022.

Dallila's body was found alongside the RS-118 highway with a gunshot wound to the head.
The body of a transsexual woman was found on Friday (10/22), around 12:30 pm, with a shot to the head in Alvorada, in the Metropolitan Region. According to the Civil Police, the corpse was on the banks of RS-118, in the city's Industrial District. Forensics were on the spot, but the victim's identity was not identified.

TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/21-Oct-2021/Name Unknown
The victim was killed by two other inmates of Penitenciária de Segurança Média II (PSME II). Her identity was not reported.
The family of an inmate claims compensation for moral and material damages against the state government for the murder of her daughter, a transgender woman who was serving a sentence in the Medium Security Penitentiary II (PSME II), destined for LGBTI+ prisoners. The victim was killed on Oct. 21 by a cellmate, who had the help of two other inmates to commit the crime.
The family is seeking compensation for moral damages in the amount of R$ 100,000, in addition to material damages in the amount of 1/3 of the minimum wage up to the victim's average life expectancy, which according to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), or until the applicant's death, i.e. that of the mother of the murdered woman.
When the crime occurred, the State Department of Justice (Sejus) announced that the incident had been registered by the Civil Police (PC) as a suicide and that four inmates testified at the Department of Homicides and Protection of Persons (DHPP), which instituted a police inquiry by the Prison Crimes Police Station to investigate. The inquiry states that "a notice of arrest in flagrante delicto" was issued against the three detainees who participated in the crime. The family's lawyer, Antonio Fernando Moreira, defends, in the compensation claim, that no action was taken to guarantee the victim's survival, "just a prison opening, supposedly for only LGBTI+ inmates, for [the public] to see."
The statement is based on the fact that one of the killers declares himself to be cisgender in the National Prison Information Survey (Infopen) and that he does not belong to the LGBT+ community. According to the account given in the indemnity claim, he fired a "narrow bang" against the victim and held her neck for some time. Then another detainee placed his legs over the woman's legs so that she would stop struggling and making noise.
Then, the inmate who gave the "narrow-naked choke", still holding the victim's neck, asked a third party to take a sheet to hang her, a request that was complied with. The attacks ended only when death was confirmed. As stated in the indemnity claim, the detainee who started the violence practices martial arts and said he was motivated by the food debt. He had also tried to kill another cellmate the night before, as his intention with the crimes was to be transferred to another prison. This is not the first murder committed by the criminal, as, according to the document, in December 2019, according to a complaint filed by the Public Ministry of Espírito Santo (MPES), he beat another inmate to death at the Vila Velha II State Penitentiary (PEVV II – Xuri).
The Medium Security Penitentiary II (PSME II) was inaugurated on May 26 of this year and is the first exclusive and reference prison unit for the LGBTI+ population in Espírito Santo. It has a capacity for 296 custodians and works in the Viana complex. Its purpose is to ensure that there are no rights violations to this group.

Murdered
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/17-Oct-2021/Jessi Hart
Jessi's body was found in the woods outside the town of Banks on 17th October 2021. Detectives suspect foul play and believe she died at least two weeks earlier.
The body of Jessi Hart was found Oct. 17 in the woods outside Banks, a small town 25 miles west of Portland, according to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. Detectives suspect foul play and believe Hart died at least two weeks before her body was found.
Hart, 42, was one of several Portlanders profiled by WW for a cover story about living in motel rooms at the edges of the city as a last resort before homelessness (“Limbo Inn,” June 16, 2021). Hart’s housing insecurity started in 2016, when she began to transition from male to female.
In June, Hart was staying at a Ramada Inn next to Mall 205 in outer Southeast Portland with her 13-year-old son Caleb. They had bounced from a women’s shelter and a friend’s apartment into motels. “I’m hopeful that Caleb will make it through this,” she told WW at the time. “I don’t have much hope for myself. It’s been four years and I’m exhausted.”
Hart told WW that transitioning to a woman had cost her everything: her construction company in Hillsboro, her family and her house. (The story of how she lost her business could not be independently verified, and her family has not returned calls from WW.) Hart said her transition soured her family to her and Caleb both—now, they were on their own.

Tayda Lebón
14 Oct 2021
New York (USA)
Suicide
Tayda was an artist and musician. She died by suicide, reportedly after being thrown out of her home by her mother, who did not accept her transition.
On Thursday, the tragic death of Tayda, the daughter of David Lebón, the Argentine rock guitarist musician, was announced. The news was communicated by the panelist Franco Torchia, who had contact with her and shocked everyone, but the stupor grew in the last hours because it transpired that he had committed suicide after a bad family moment.
"Tayda Lebón died in New York, where she had lived for many years. She was an artist at all times, intelligent at full volume and the architect of her own survival. Daughter of David Lebón. She had been asking for help for months. Even without further details. Much sadness" , wrote the journalist in a social network post. Minutes later, the same journalist gave a shocking detail in another tweet: "Tayda committed suicide," he detailed.
Tayda was an artist who, like her father, chose music and later settled in the United States to live as a tattoo artist. By then she had chosen to be a trans woman.
An artist, musician and tattoo artist, she came to New York in the mid-2000s, the city where her mother Liliana lived, trying to escape the label that the media imposed on her as 'daughter of'. "I wanted to go to a place where nobody knew me and that what I managed to do was for myself," she said in an interview with La Nación in 2017.
But there his life was not easy either, since family problems appeared. “Having the family that I have, I imagined that my transition was going to be much easier, that I was going to be a good example for other families, because it is good to have the positive stories of people who were able to make a transition with the support of his family. There are a lot of people who are that lucky. "
"With my family, I thought I was going to be a good example. But hey, one is constantly surprised by things: half of my family did not like it. They did not write or say anything to me. I have been very surprised by many people I know that, possibly, I do not feel that they support me , ”Tayda said, without specifically mentioning her mother, who was the one who had not accepted her transition.
Tayda rented an apartment in a complex owned by her mother's husband, and she lived one floor above where they lived. According to what they say, David's daughter said she felt trapped, judged, insulted and manipulated by her mother.
Torchia had also publicly told a few years ago that Liliana not only did not accept her daughter's changes, but that she had thrown her out of her house. However, despite the distance her father was a great pillar for her and with her all the way.
Tayda had transitioned in 2017. She had a great relationship with her father, but not with her mother.
Tayda was a tattoo artist and also a musician, like her father and mother, Lili Lagarde. In 2017, she decided to finally begin the process to transform her body by perceiving herself as a woman and defining herself as pansexual. As she had commented in an interview, she had always considered herself a woman.
In another interview, she expressed his affection for her father. " My dad was, is and will be my best friend. With his strengths and weaknesses, as we all have. I am who I am thanks to him. I can be free because I have been allowed to be free. And that is something that I never lacked from my dad. I feel loved, always listened to. He is proud of me. Respect is what I learned from him. Tanguito was not stupid. Love is stronger! The rest is bullshit. "
However, she had publicly stated that she did not have a good relationship with her mother, who like her lived in New York. On the Facebook page of Abolitionist Transfeminism, a post by Tayda was found which suggested that things had not been going well for her for months.
Tayda's Facebook, Instagram and Twitter profiles are https://www.facebook.com/tayda.lebon, https://www.instagram.com/tlebon and https://twitter.com/taydalebon. Her music is available via her Soundcloud profile at https://soundcloud.com/user-933898580.

Zehava
Age 2210 Oct 2021
Haifa (Israel)
Suicide
Zehava died in hospital two days after trying to take her own life. She had fled the West Bank to escape abuse and prostitution but was denied even basic rights in Israel.
Zehava’s body was found by police in a public park in Haifa on Friday, October 8. The 22-year-old transgender woman was found hanging, in grave condition, and was rushed to the hospital. She died two days later. The police believe she [died by] suicide.
Zehava’s life and tragic death have turned a spotlight on the hard lives of members of the LGBTQ+ community who lack permanent residency status in Israel. Life as a transgender woman in Israel is full of difficulties in any case, and there is a shortage of frameworks where members of the community can find support. But for those who lack residency status, life is nearly impossible, given the lack basic rights such as work permits, health insurance or the ability to open a bank account. All of these concerns, compounded by the fear that her residency status would not be renewed, brought Zehava to the edge of the abyss, welfare activists say.
“The state of Palestinian LGBTQ+ asylum seekers is shocking,” says Nina Halevy, an activist in the Gila project for transgender empowerment in Israel, who was working with Zehava. “The state allows them to stay here grudgingly and under impossible conditions, but they have no way to live. They’re allowed to be in the country, but they have no rights. What can they do? How can they survive? It’s the government that pushes them into prostitution. They deliberately provide insufficient aid.”
Zehava was already living in the street as a child. As a teenager she was sexually abused and exploited several times. A field worker who aided her recounted that Zehava had been forced into prostitution at a young age and had been blackmailed and threatened when she tried to object. In 2018, when she was 19-years-old, Zehava fled from a Palestinian city to Israel, and asked to be recognized as a victim of human trafficking. She was arrested several times for illegal residency and indicted four times. She was deported back to the Palestinian Authority, returned to Israel and was arrested again. A social worker attempted to get her a residency permit given her at-risk status as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.
“I want a permit to work in Israel. I’ve asked everyone, the police, the court – three times – but no one will help me,” Zehava said in court in January 2020, after being charged with living in Israel illegally. “I can’t go back to the [Palestinian] territories. If I go to prison, I’ll stay there for several months. When I’m released I’ll go back. I want to enter Israel. Nobody can give me a permit, everyone says they can’t help me, so who can help?” Her plea went unheeded, and the court sentenced her to three months in prison.
Zehava is gone. A few days ago, phones and messages started going around in the small group that surrounded her, and had tried to accompany and assist her in her difficult way of life over the past year.
In her short life, Zehava managed to experience infinite difficulties: a poor and dysfunctional family, violence, abuse and street life, numerous attempts to escape and find refuge on the so-called enlightened side of the wall, which repeatedly ended in Abu Kabir arrest and deportation back to her trauma districts in Tulkarm.
Confirmation of who she was? Hardly achieved, and before any recurrence of depression, anxiety, alcohol and suicide.
Shelter? At times, with great difficulty, with a lot of despair on the way (well-being? Your transphobia screams to heaven, most of all, a sham on your part)
Medical rights? No.
Work permit? No way?
She did not give up, she fought. In our last conversation, she was optimistic, she had found a job, earns some money, maybe she will save and rent an apartment - but not really, as she is also not allowed to open a bank account ...
Despite all this, Zehava was a rare flower: a very special young woman, open-eyed and dreamy, sensitive, curious, undecided, wondering about life and its meaning, wanted to study psychology, philosophy, religions and spirituality, find meaning and do good in the world. She was proud and noble-minded, and smart enough to experience in full force the understanding that the world simply does not want her, and does not assign her any place under the sun
How awful that she was eventually broken, and in order to stifle the pain and despair that filled her, she turned towards her body is the violence that the world directed at her
How terrible, how sad, how angry and frustrating !!!!
We can never be defeated,
Let her remembrance be a revolution.

El's remains were found on 9th October after they had been missing since 28th June. They were nonbinary but every single mainstream news outlet misgendered and deadnamed them.
Authorities have confirmed that they have located the remains of El Cho. My deepest condolences to their chosen family and their family of origin ?

TW: at link, deadnaming, misgendering
just feel the need to point out how aggressively they have been misegendered and deadnamed in the press. If you're cis and don't see why this is a problem please consider how fucked it is to erase someone's actual lived identity when they are in no position to defend themselves
It hurts our entire community to watch as people literally erase us after death. Knowing that even in death we're disrespected. Knowing that the minute our voices stop, people will come in and over write our literal existance for their own cis comfort. It's disgusting.
Seriously, cis people go look at the articles for their missing persons case. There's not even any acknowledgment that they were non-binary, and only cursory hat tips to the name El, which they treated as a nickname.
I only know because another researcher hunted down El's social media, and read comments from their chosen family and was alarmed at the erasure and contacted me. This is an extremely common occurrence. Erasing that people are LGBTQ+ in media when they go missing is gross as hell
It also makes it much harder for our community to support them and their chosen families, and to assist in finding them. And frankly, no one is going to look for our own as hard as we will ourselves.

Gabriella Irente ("Hanna")
Age 24 (born 3 Oct 1997)3 Oct 2021
Suzano, São Paulo (Brazil)
Not reported
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/03-Oct-2021/Gabriella Irente
Gabriella was a well known nightclub performer and artist whose body was found on Sunday 3rd October - her birthday. Her case has been registered as a suspicious death.
Prior to her death she had been preparing to record a CD of her own music.
A 24-year-old transsexual woman was found dead on Sunday night (3), around 19:00, on Avenida Senador Roberto Simonsen, in the Cidade Cruzeiro do Sul neighborhood, in Suzano.
According to information from the State Secretariat for Public Security (SSP), military police were called to attend to the occurrence and, at the indicated address, they located the victim. The Fire Department was called and certified the death. The case was registered as a suspicious death by the city's police station, which requested expert investigators.
Fórum Mogiano LGBT published a press released in which it states that the victim is the young Gabriella Irente, “Hanna”, who was found on her birthday, October 3rd. The forum expressed deep regret for the death. According to the note, Hanna, as she was known on stage, shone as an artist in a nightclub in Mogi, was Miss Drag Revelation in 2019, special attraction at the LGBT Parade in Mogi das Cruzes, at Bloco Mogi das Queens and other events.
“She was found lifeless near Lagoa Azul in Suzano, with no apparent signs of violence, awaiting analysis by the Legal Medical Institute (IML). We express our solidarity and feelings to all family and friends, for this sad loss”, highlighted the note.
In January 2021 Gabriella has been interviewed by [[altotietedigital.com.br]]:
Gabriella Irente, 23, is a singer and was born in Suzano. Her family is of Italian and Spanish descendants. Her transition started after she finished her studies because, according to her, it would be more difficult to start while she was studying because of the problems she would face at school. “It was a phase of self-knowledge and acceptance. In the beginning, it was very complicated by the lack of knowledge and not knowing what was happening to me”, says the singer. But something helped her a lot: the appearance of drag [performers] and trans [people] in the media. “It became much easier to understand myself,” she says.
For Suzanense, the issue of work is very complicated: “When companies discover that you are trans, the vacancy magically disappears or they say that they don't need you anymore” she says. She says that the biggest difficulty is acceptance with other employees and the board. “The vast majority of companies still have a very conservative body of directors” comments the singer.
Regarding prejudice, she told of one experience: “Three years ago when I started the process of transition I was prevented from using a women's dressing room in a store in the city because, at the time, I didn't have a very “feminine” appearance. Security pulled me out of the dressing room and publicly humiliated me in front of a store full of people. I don't buy anything at that store anymore”
The singer is emphatic in saying what needs to be improved for trans and the entire LGBTQI+ community: “The acceptance and understanding of people about us. We are human beings like everyone else. In addition, we also need more visibility on a daily basis” said Gabriella.

Royal Poetical Starz
Age 26 (born 26 May 1995)2 Oct 2021
Miami Gardens, Florida (USA)
Shot
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/02-Oct-2021/Royal Poetical Starz
Poetical was shot inside her vehicle late on the morning of Saturday 2nd October. As a result of police misgendering her murder did not come to light until nearly two weeks later.
A 26-year-old Black transgender woman from Pompano Beach was gunned down and killed late morning Saturday, Oct. 2, inside her Hummer on a residential Miami Gardens street.
Royal Poetical Starz is believed to be one of at least 40 trans, nonbinary or gender-nonconforming people reported slain this year in the United States, according to queer blogger Sue Kerr, who tracks these killings for her website, Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents.
Kerr and South Florida trans activists, including Morgan and Ashley Mayfaire of TransSOCIAL, were stunned to learn from a reporter on Tuesday that a trans woman had been shot to death the week before in Northwest Miami-Dade County.
A prime reason they didn’t know: Miami Gardens police on Oct. 4 issued a news release stating that a 26-year-old “Black male” had been slain — alongside a photo of Poetical presenting herself as a woman.
Investigators haven’t said much about Poetical’s death, except it “occurred at the 4600 Block of NW 185th Street, in Miami Gardens” about 11:26 a.m., according to the police news release.

Stabbed
TDoR list ref: tgeu/tdor2022/01-Oct-2021/La Pocha
A homeless #trans woman was found with two stab wounds - allegedly inflicted by a man she had a relationship with. She identified only by the alias "La Pocha".
A 34-year-old transgender woman received two stab wounds next to the bridge that connects avendas José María Velasco and 17, near a section of the Salado estuary boardwalk, in western Guayaquil.
On the morning of this Friday 1, the victim was identified by the residents as alias La Pocha, who allegedly had a sentimental relationship with the man who attacked her with a knife after an argument.
The body, which has two wounds on the neck, was picked up by Legal Medicine and transferred to the Criminalistics and Forensic Sciences Laboratory, on Rodríguez Bonín Avenue.
Neighbors commented that La Pocha apparently had consumption problems and lived on the street with her partner, who is main suspect. The Police are looking for the subject.
According to figures from the Center for the Promotion and Action of Women (Cepam-Guayaquil), at least seven crimes of this type, considered transfemicides, have been registered this year at the national level.
A 30-year-old man was stabbed to death on the streets of Medardo Ángel Silva and 7ª, in the suburb, last Thursday night. The attack would have occurred in the middle of an argument with another person, police agents said.
At the scene, personnel from Criminalistics and the Directorate of Violent Deaths (Dinased) collected evidence to carry out the removal of the body.
