Prefect Octavio Romero was brutally murdered in 2011, but the justice system did not investigate it as a hate crime. To this day, it remains unpunished.
Octavio Romero was to be the first openly gay prefect in the Armed Forces to enter into a same-sex marriage. Months before the wedding, he disappeared and was found dead in the Río de la Plata with signs of having been beaten. Since then, his partner has been seeking justice.
Octavio Romero, after the Equal Marriage Law was passed, was going to be the first member of a federal force to marry a person of the same sex. But he was found dead six months earlier, on June 17, 2011.
