As I understand it, the victim wasn’t necessarily an activist but they were dressed as a woman when found dead. They might actually be a trans woman or perhaps someone who’s gay/gender variant like Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado in Puerto Rico who was dressing as a woman while doing sexwork.

Probably killed by police. Homosexuality is a crime in Jamaica.
