Camila was found brutally murdered in her Harlem apartment on August 1 and as you probably guessed, the tabloids and the news media there are exhibiting their usual sterling journalism in reporting this story.
"Camila's friends and the transgender community overall are not happy with her portrayal in the news. As transgender people, we feel alone and like we're invisible targets for violence," said Ruby Teresa Chavez, friend of Camila Guzman. "We deserve respect and increased advocacy around the prevention of anti-transgender violence."
