October 9, 2023. On the night of Saturday, October 7, 2023, Shakira Villa Centeno, a trans woman and a resident of Santa Marta, was murdered in a hitman attack. The events occurred in the MarĂ­a Eugenia neighborhood, specifically on Carrera 13 and Calle 38. Shakira was walking along the road when she was approached by individuals traveling on a motorcycle, who drew their firearms repeatedly, causing her to die immediately.
