  "account": "Arturo Felipe Delgadillo Olvera has been arrested in Mexico for the murder of trans woman Paola Buenrostro, authorities announced on Monday. The case, which occurred almost a decade ago on September 30, 2016, was the first recognized as a transfemicide by the Mexico City Human Rights Commission. This led to the creation of the \"Paola Buenrostro Law\" in 2024, making transfemicide a crime punishable by up to 70 years in prison.\n\nBuenrostro, a sex worker, was shot dead in an inner-city Mexico City neighborhood. Delgadillo, who allegedly picked her up, was detained in the municipality of Nicolás Romero on Monday. He was initially arrested for homicide based on evidence from 2016, but the Mexico City Attorney General's Office (Fiscalía CDMX) stated that a reclassification to femicide could be made in later stages of the legal process.\n\nTrans activists, including Kenya Cuevas, protested the use of Paola Buenrostro's previous male name and other trans women's male names in court, arguing for a reclassification of the crime to femicide. Fiscalía CDMX acknowledged the pain and anger of activists and vowed to keep channels of dialogue open.",
