8-year-old Camila was found dead in the La Florida neighborhood. The CCTV footage that was leaked to the public convicted the three perpetrators in the public eye. Residents gathered in front of Ana’s house and demanded her arrest. However, the police did not find the evidence sufficient to make an arrest and when they announced this to the public, a lynching began.

Although police tried to protect Ana, the force of the angry mob was greater. They managed to pull Ana out of the police car by her hair and beat her to death.
