A judge in Mexico City determined on Friday that the assassination of Paola Buenrostro, recognized as the first transfemicide in Mexico, would be processed as aggravated femicide instead of homicide. ^[1] The Fiscalía General de Justicia de la Ciudad de México (FGJ CDMX) announced that Arturo 'N' was linked to the process for the alleged femicide of Paola Buenrostro, a trans woman, and that the crime was reclassified as the first transfeminicide in the country. ^[2] The Fiscalía de la Ciudad de México stated that the legal classification of the case will change from qualified homicide to aggravated femicide, which is a crime committed for reasons of gender. ^[3] The presumed responsible party, identified as Arturo 'N', was processed for femicide and will remain in preventive detention. ^[4] After the first judicial hearing, trans activists denounced that Paola Buenrostro's crime was processed as homicide and that the victim was identified as a man during the initial hearing, prompting hours of protests at the Fiscalía's facilities. ^[5] Kenya Cuevas, a trans activist and friend of Paola Buenrostro who has led the fight for justice, celebrated the reclassification 'with gender perspective' and declared 'Today is a historic day for trans women in Mexico.' ^[6] The reclassification to aggravated femicide allows Paola Buenrostro's death to be investigated and judged with a gender perspective, considering the context and gender-related reasons of the facts. ^[7] Trans activists protested for several hours at the Fiscalía facilities after the initial judicial hearing identified the victim as male, alleging the crime was processed as homicide rather than transfemicide. ^[8]
