Two Trans Women Detained for Homicide in Cali, Colombia

Two trans women identified as Almendra and La Madre were detained by CTI servers with support from the Army and National Police on April 20 in Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, for their alleged involvement in a February 6 homicide. The two individuals attacked two people with a stabbing weapon in a vacant lot, stealing their belongings; one victim died and the other was injured. A prosecutor from the Seccional Cali charged both with homicide, attempted homicide, and aggravated theft—charges they did not accept. A judge ordered preventive detention in a correctional facility.
