Thousands of people marched in Mexico City to demand justice for Jesús Ociel Baena, an influential LGBTQ+ figure who was found dead in his home after receiving death threats. Baena was a nonbinary magistrate in the Aguascalientes state electoral court and was the first openly nonbinary person to hold a judicial post in Mexico. The state prosecutor confirmed Baena's death, along with the death of his partner, and is investigating the cause of their deaths. LGBTQ+ groups expressed outrage at the suggestion that it was a suicide and called for a thorough investigation into the deaths.
