Laly's body was found by a neighbour lying in the street at dawn on Sunday 3rd February. She had been shot 8 times.

Her body was found outside a hotel at the intersection of Avenida Monseñor Bufano and Arribeños, Camino de Cintura. According to police she had been killed between 3am and 7am.

She was 36 years old and had come from Lima (Peru) to Argentina 10 years earlier. She lived in Morón (province of Buenos Aires), in a house she rented with Emanuel Ferraro, a bricklayer. "We have been together for 9 years. She left home on Saturday at midnight, she had told me she was coming back at 5, but she never came. I found out what happened through the networks."

Yesterday, when the photo of Lali began to circulate on Facebook, Ferraro and one of Lali's sisters who lives in Argentina (the rest of the family lives in Lima), went to the police station and in the fourth of Los Pinos they recognized the body .

"From what the police told me, they killed her at about 3 in the morning. She was working, when she was approached by a man asking for (sexual) services, and there she was executed in one, at the door of a hotel on Camino de Cintura. We think she died between 3 and 7 in the morning. Nobody helped her."

Laly was one of four trans women who were killed after accusing several high-grade police officers of people trafficking.

All of them were killed along the Way. Two of them were witnesses in a cause of trafficking network where Buenos Aires police chiefs were involved and had already declared. The other two had been threatened with death for not wanting to pay the police.
