Daniella Analee Escobedo
Age 3412 Apr 2026
Las Vegas, Nevada (USA)
Not reported
Daniela was reportedly murdered. No mainstream news outlets have covered her story and information is scarce.
The femicide of Daniela is particularly insidious. She was a s*x worker. Absolutely nothing about it has been made public. I wonder how many murders of trans people go unreported, so that we don't even know the names of our murdered brothers and sisters.
Her name was Daniella Analee Escobedo. She was a 34 year old Latina trans woman, living in Las Vegas. To clarify, I have seen her name spelled Daniela and Daniella. I’m going to use Daniella because that is a name I’ve confirmed is attached to a social media account she controlled. I realize that may not be correct and will update if needed.
Reports of her death circulated on TikTok, but there’s not very many details. We can’t find reports of incidents that might have been her. Then another researcher found an obituary. Again, details are sparse. But the tribute video is beautiful. Someone clearly loved Daniella very much. The wake will be held at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier, California on May 11, 2026, from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
In previous posts, I’ve shared my concerns about the changing nature of media coverage of these acts of violence targeting trans folx. I’ve reached out to multiple sources and hope to learn more about Daniella’s life and the details of her death.
I’m sharing this in hopes of connecting with someone who knew Daniella or has more information about her death. She deserves to have her life honored so confirming the social media accounts and the details about her life are important. Of course, understanding the circumstances of her death is vitally important.
Coming on the heels of the atypical reporting in the shooting death of Lucas Redbeard Knapp, I’m uneasy about the lack of reporting about Daniella. Reports are that Daniella may have been a sex worker, a detail that might explain some of the lack of reporting. The media has a well-established bias against sex workers.
I’m concerned the media are eliminating trans people from even their own violent deaths. That’s troubling.
So we turn to the community for help. We know Daniella was 34 and most recently living in Las Vegas. She may have been born somewhere in the Greater Los Angeles area. Her date of death is listed as April 12, 2026. All reports of homicides or suspicious deaths in Las Vegas have been tied to other victims. Searching for that information in Los Angeles is very difficult.
