A trans woman, Jesusa Fidel Ventura Reyes, known locally as Chucha, was found murdered on Monday night (18 May). She had been beheaded, with her head placed in a cooler on the steps of the local town hall.
Her body had been dumped several streets away. Her murder was the second murder of a trans person in less than a month in the Mexican state of Veracruz after Becky Reyna had been shot and killed at a family reunion in April.
