Luan was a 17-year-old trans boy. When authorities recovered his body, injuries to his neck and face, blood, burns and preliminary forensic observations pointed to severe violence before his death.

Firefighters had extinguished flames in the field before Luan was discovered face down and partially undressed. Police documented possible drag marks and tire marks nearby and collected a sandal, necklace and phone-charger cable from the area. Those physical traces became part of the homicide investigation, but the available record did not determine whether Luan died at that location or was brought there afterward.

In the days that followed, Civil Police sought surveillance footage and information about vehicles that may have traveled near the area. Rain had affected portions of the scene, adding another obstacle to efforts to preserve and examine potential evidence. No suspect had emerged in the latest verified reporting.

    All of these religious people who say horrible shit about trans people and make their lives hell embolden and enable this sort of violence, then try to wash their hands of it: “Oh, well, we just didn’t want them to use certain bathrooms or read stories, we love Jesus and didn’t want this.” Fucking hypocritical assholes. All of Christianity is a cesspool of uncompassionate illogical dross.
