Puerto Rican activists call for investigation of three suspicious deaths possibly involving LGBTQ victims
Metro.Police initially described the victim as a woman. But later, family members, friends, and local LGBTQ activists, including the group Puerto Rico Para Tod@s identified the victim as Samuel Edmund Damián Valentín, a transgender man.“One of the most serious problems we have with the Police and the Department of Justice is that they do not identify LGBTTIQ+ people in their incident reports,” Pedro Julio Serrano, a spokesperson for Puerto Rico Para Tod@s, said in a statement.
