• Police suspect a drug overdose, but Garcia’s friends and family have doubts and the case remains open pending toxicology results.
  
• Garcia’s death comes amid and an increase in assaults against trans people recorded last year in Los Angeles.

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.

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...

That cannot be! Obviously, some homophobe must have murdered him/her/it.

No justice, no peace!

there are a lot of machos that do not want a fantasy girl kissing on them, happens a lot in the Philippines and Thailand

The way the leftist/delusional media write these we’re forced to ponder whether the deceased was a man or a woman.

[PGR88]

If an LGBT/Tranny/Sexual deviant is a victim of violence, 99.9% of the time, its another sexual deviant, known to them, who did it.

[Olog-hai]

When they say “trans woman”, it’s a man.

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

The way I remember it; “trans” = “fake”.

No monetary settlement in a drug overdose.

The spirit of antichrist at work. An open rebellion im the streets against Almighty God.

All according to SATAN'S plan.

Rainbow White House happened on June 26, 2015

[Biblebelter]

Always the victim.

Probably an illegal invader as well as a confirmed drug addict and pervert.

Hardly an innocent.

But if the SAME PROFILE was a perp in a murder, the LA Times would still portray “it” as the victim.

[Bonemaker]

Unexpectedly finding a BIG SURPRISE when going for home probably doesn’t sit well with machismo.😎
