The two men were part of a gang noted for killing transgender persons.  At the Day of Rememberence event here I noted the high numbers of deaths in Brazil, far more than even in the United States.

God bless him!  Truly a hero; he deserved much better than to die in that way.  This is so heartbreaking and I can only hope that I would have the immense courage to do the same.
