The body of a trans woman was found decapitated in Chihuahua, Mexico. Her body was found a kilometer away from her head. Authorities believe she was still alive during the decapitation because fear was frozen on her face.

I think you have to prove a hate crime, particularly in Chihuahua, Mexico - where, those of you who pay attention know a HUGE drug war is raging.  Far more likely its the second, not the first.

Extremely upsetting in any sense of the reasoning behind such a brutal murder

Drug cartels specialize in very brutal murders, it's a warning.

Yes, I am aware of that...Chihuahua has been on the news quite a few times... Probably she worked for a rival cartel

It's still rather upsetting
