BOGOTÁ DC, COLOMBIA (JAN 4, 2026) – A violent crime that occurred early Thursday morning has caused outrage and dismay in the Engativá district, in northwestern Bogotá. A transgender woman was beaten to death by two men in the Florida Blanca neighborhood, a few meters from the intersection of Carrera 91 and Calle 68.
The victim, whose identity has not yet been established by authorities, was with a friend and, according to witnesses, was attacked with a blunt object by two men who arrived on a motorcycle. The attack was direct and brutal. After beating her, the assailants fled the scene, leaving her lying on the sidewalk, where she died from the severity of her injuries.
According to preliminary reports, the trans woman had been at a nearby bar hours earlier, and minutes before the attack she was talking with her companion on a platform when the attackers arrived without warning.
Testimonies gathered by local media indicate that the victim was approximately 20 years old, short in stature, and was wearing a red top. It was also mentioned that she worked in the area and was known to some residents, although the reasons for the attack are still under investigation.
