September 1, 1980 - Raúl Osiel Marroquín Reyes
Operating in Mexico City in the early 2000s, Marroquín Reyes targeted gay men in a series of kidnappings that resulted in four murders, driven by a hatred that was methodical rather than impulsive. The organized nature of his crimes, combined with their explicit targeting of a vulnerable population, drew sustained attention to anti-gay violence in Mexico and cemented his case as a reference point in discussions of homophobia-motivated crime.
