Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado, 19, was found burned, decapitated and dismembered on Nov. 14 in Cayey, a city only a few miles away from his hometown in Caguas, PR. The teen is said to be well-known in the LGBT community. The investigating officer is being criticized for saying “people who lead this type of lifestyle need to be aware that this will happen.” A call for another officer to replace him is underway.
