24-year-old model found dead, strangled and stabbed, after disappearing on the way to a friend's party

The brutally beaten half-naked body of Thayla Aylla, a 24-year-old trans model, was discovered in a vacant lot in Várzea Grande, Amazonas, Brazil, days after her disappearance. The circumstances of her death remain unclear, as authorities investigate whether she was stabbed or strangled.

Aylla disappeared on December 20, 2024, after going to a friend’s party. When he did not return or communicate, his family reported him missing to Brazilian authorities, prompting a search. Tragically, his body was found three days later, on December 23, in an advanced state of decomposition.

The Civil Police of Mato Grosso (PC-MG) reported stab wounds and “marks of violent death.” While the exact cause of death has yet to be confirmed, Nilson Farías, the police chief who oversaw the case, suggested that Aylla’s murder could have been committed by a “client after a sexual relationship.”

In statements to local media, he noted that the area where Aylla was found is known for prostitution. “We have identified the main possibility of a stab wound,” Farias said. “However, we must wait for the autopsy to confirm this. Clients often exploit vulnerable people in this area, leading to crimes like this.”

The investigation is ongoing and reports from forensic teams suggest that strangulation may also have played a role in his death. No suspect has yet been identified, according to immediate reported.

Aylla, originally from Manaus, moved to Amazonas in 2020. Her death has sparked outrage within Brazil’s LGBTQ+ community, which continues to call for action against violence directed at trans women. Activists have called out the lack of safety for trans people and other marginalized groups, emphasizing the urgent need for systemic change.

Friends and loved ones have taken to social media to mourn Aylla’s death and share heartfelt tributes. A close friend described her as a beacon of positivity: “Your life was a passage of love and light in the lives of everyone around you. You illuminated, captivated and made everything a celebration. I miss you forever! I will love you forever.”

Another reflected on his trusting nature and expressed sadness at his untimely death. “You were always a good person and you trusted anyone who hugged you and today what I always warned you about happened,” the friend wrote.

Aylla’s tragic death underscores the persistent violence faced by the trans community and highlights the urgent need for justice and protection for all marginalized people.
