Authorities in Mexico’s Aguascalientes state on Monday found Latin America’s first nonbinary judge dead in their home. The Associated Press reported Jesús Ociel Baena’s body was discovered next to another person who media reports and an LGBTQ rights group identified as their partner.

State prosecutor Jesús Figueroa Ortega told reporters during a press conference the two victims showed signs they had been stabbed.
