Vanessa was homeless. She was murdered on a football field near her improvised home.

Note that initial reports gave her name as "Evelyn" and subsequent reports "Vanessa". It is possible that she used both names.

A transsexual woman was found dead on some llanero soccer fields, the perimeter of the Renovación neighborhood, in the Iztapalapa mayor's office. They beat her and then shot her.

According to information provided by the authorities, apparently while the victim was in the space intended for sports practice, located on the side of Cuitláhuac Park, she was intercepted by her attacker.

Said woman, between 35 and 40 years old, identified as Evelyn , received several blows, mainly to the face, before she was wounded with a firearm at the level of the abdomen.

There the female was lying face up on the loose brown sand, a few meters from a goal without a net, painted white and blue, next to a mound of earth and gravel, near the intersection between Luis Méndez and Guelatao avenues.

Residents of the area who noticed the presence of the body approached her and upon noticing that her arms were already rigid and extended to the sides, they notified the police.

Near the place of discovery, there are some improvised houses, made with wood, stones and canvas, where apparently said person had lived for a long period of time.

"I saw her very calm, she lived there and suddenly she would get involved with her friends. Then she would collect pets and start separating them. She had no problems with anyone," commented a woman who approached the place accompanied by two children.

A suspect was arrested in June 2024. Initial investigations suggested that he shot Vanessa because "she did not want to work for him".
