The family of a transgender woman who was murdered in Tijuana last month has sharply criticized the way that local authorities have handled the case.
Local media reports indicate Jeanine Huerta López’s best friend found her dead in her apartment in Tijuana’s Francisco Villa neighborhood on Aug.
28. Her sister, Diana Jiménez López, on Tuesday told the Washington Blade during a telephone interview from California that Huerta had stab wounds throughout her body.
Huerta was reportedly last seen at a Birthday party on Aug. 24. Jiménez told the Blade her sister was born in Puerto Vallarta, but grew up in San Bernardino County.
