Virginia Gomez, a 37-year-old transgender woman, who was best friends and roommates with Diaz Cordova, has been speaking out on the case.Gomez, who also appears in media reports as Virginia Flores, started her quest to find out what happened to her friend in late January 2019 when she first discovered that Diaz Cordova didn't come home.
A little more than a week later, she found her body at the morgue."The Salvadoran government owes a lot to all of these families who have lost a loved one who was part of the LGBTI community or specifically a trans woman," Gomez told the Washington Blade leading up to the conviction.
