Description

A non-binary Mexican magistrate whose death sparked protests and anger among the LGBTQ community appears to have been the victim of a murder-suicide committed by their partner, investigators said Tuesday.
The body of Jesus Ociel Baena -- the first Mexican citizen to be granted a non-binary passport -- was found with that of another person at Baena's home in Aguascalientes state on Monday, the prosecutor's office said.
Despite prosecutors ruling out the presence of a third person at the scene, protesters gathered in Mexico City insisting Baena was the victim of a hate crime.
