36-year-old Quetzalcóatl Leija Herrera was found murdered in the central square, a half-block from city hall. He had apparently been beaten in the face with a rock.
Leija Herrera was president of the Centre for Study and Projects on Integrated Human Development (CEPRODEHI) and was an outspoken LGBT rights activist.
As part of his work, he organized six Pride marches in the state, reported several homophobic crimes to police and lobbied for legislative change.
His murder was reportedly followed in quick succession by three similar murders of gay men under similar circumstances in the same city.
