Case of trans woman found dead in Hollywood leaves family seeking answers
Los Angeles Times ^ | December 26, 2024 3 AM PT | Libor Jany

Santa Tecum wept softly as she hugged the clear plastic folder of photos to her chest.

The snapshots of her daughter, Emily Garcia, were the way Tecum wanted to remember her: Laughing, smiling, dancing to banda music, her makeup immaculate as ever. Not lying in a casket at a public viewing after her sudden death this year — the last time she laid eyes on Garcia.

“It’s been very hard, I’ve been very, very sad,” Tecum said in a recent interview with The Times, speaking through a Spanish interpreter. “Emily would always hug me when she would see me. She was always loving in that manner.”

Garcia, 25, was found dead on a Tuesday in mid-October, in a truck parked outside the Hollywood shelter in the 1200 block of Lodi Place where she lived. Another person was also found dead in the vehicle.

Los Angeles police have said that preliminary investigation indicates Garcia died of a drug overdose and that no foul play is suspected, but the case remains open and her family and friends are still seeking answers.

Their pleas have been raised at City Council meetings and on social media, with supporters saying too often the deaths of trans people are overlooked by elected officials and the media. Tecum and two of her other daughters stood beside Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez at City Hall last month, as he honored Garcia on Trans Day of Remembrance.

She came to the U.S. as an “unaccompanied...

Friend of mine visited New Zealand in the 1980s.

Apparently they went to some clubs (his group)

They were down in such an area and overheard some guy finding out that the “girl” he was with wasn’t actually a girl.

He told me that he actually heard bones breaking. Yikes 😳😳😳

I can’t imagine why someone goes out misrepresenting themselves with that potential.

If it was one person in the vehicle I would say foul play, but with two, I suspect both were getting high. An illegal alien, likely killed by drugs brought over by an illegal.

Interesting, no info on the other person killed.

The guy is dead. No need to keep playing into HIS mental illness by calling HIM a she. Call HIM what HE is, a mentally ill dead man.

Exactly

I found this:

John MacArthur said it very well:

Exactly.

I don’t believe there’s an increase in violence against trans people. They just want there to be. So like in this case, which is likely a drug overdose, they’ll claim foul play anyways.

death comes amid and an increase in assaults against trans people recorded last year in Los Angeles.

Did it occur to them that when you make your state a transgender sanctuary state, the base number of transgenders will go up dramatically, but the percentage of trans people assaulted might stay the same, or even get lower?

Trans, so "she". OD suspected, so drug use. I'm going to go with mental illness.

Um...

How do people KNOW they are dealing with a tranny and not just an ugly woman?

Gotta know what you’re looking at to attack it.

Besides, everyone there is so enlightened, who would attack them?

Besides hispanic gang members who are bored.

If she loved her daughter so much why was her daughter living in a shelter?


The “daughter” was her son.

You did not want to have a son so you convinced him he was a "girl trapped in a boy body". Which is nonsense. And because of what you did your son became a drug addicted prostitute.

That is all very sad.

But it is also all on you.

How many times have we seen a mixed group addressed as, “Hi Guys”?

Here comes the pity campaign. These freaks always put themselves in harm’s way (prostitution, drug abuse, violent relationships with other queers) and then scream persecution when the inevitable happens.

These freaks just don't live very long. Between the constant body abuse, high-risk lifestyles, seething hatred WITHIN the GerBiL community and their high penchant for suicide, their lifespans are greatly diminished.

The pathologist will most certainly treat him as a man, if he wants to keep his job.
