In a harrowing incident that has sparked international outrage, 32-year-old trans woman Sara Millerey González tragically drowned in a ravine in Bello, Colombia, while onlookers filmed her pleas for help without intervening.
According to reports, Sara was subjected to a brutal attack—raped, with her limbs broken—before being thrown into the La García ravine. Despite clinging to a branch and crying out for assistance, bystanders chose to record the ordeal on their phones, actively discouraging others from helping.
Sara’s mother, Sandra Borja, arrived at the scene and attempted to rescue her daughter, who was eventually pulled from the water by firefighters. Tragically, Sara succumbed to her injuries the following day, having suffered hypothermia, punctured lungs, and cardiac arrests.
The Colombian government has condemned the act, with President Gustavo Petro labeling it as “fascism” and offering a reward for information leading to the perpetrators. Bello Mayor Lorena González Ospina emphasized the need to combat transphobia and ensure justice for Sara.
