Authorities in Mexico said at least three transgender people were killed in the first two weeks of 2024, and rights groups were investigating two additional such cases.

Over the past six years, the rights group Letra S has documented at least 513 targeted killings of LGBTQ+ people in Mexico. Just last year, the violent death of one of the most recognizable LGBTQ+ figures in Mexico, Ociel Baena, sparked a similar wave of outrage and protests.

...around 99% of crimes in Mexico go unsolved.
