Juliana Giraldo Díaz, the 38-year-old trans woman who died, according to the first versions, from the shot she received by a soldier, lived with her partner two years ago in Miranda, in northern Cauca.
Francisco Larrañaga, her husband, said that she was an optimistic person and eager to get ahead. She was a stylist and dreamed of setting up a beauty salon in Miranda. He, for his part, is dedicated to the sale of chicken and fish.

He said that because they were together, he had to overcome criticism and accusations from different members of the community and even from his relatives.
The partner of the murdered woman, apparently by soldiers who asked them for documents when they were passing through the Guatemala sector, in Mirada, said that they have no criminal record to have been subject to review at this apparent checkpoint.

Francisco and Juliana helped each other with raising chickens to sell them. Also, he rummages with vehicle fixes
The events occurred around 8:30 in the morning this Thursday on the road that leads from Miranda to the Guatemala village. A car with three occupants was moving through that rural area, on the border between Cauca and the south of the Valley.
The car, white in color, arrived at a military checkpoint on that route. One version would indicate that the car would be reversing, and another indicates that the vehicle passed the checkpoint.
A bullet wound hit the woman, who was traveling in the front seat as a passenger.
