Samuel Luiz Muñiz, a 24-year-old nursing assistant, was beaten to death in A Coruña, Galicia, Spain, on 3 July 2021. In November 2024, three men were found guilty of his murder, one man as an accomplice, and one woman was acquitted. It was accepted by the jury that one murderer, Diego Montaña, was motivated by homophobia. The three murderers were sentenced to over 20 years in prison each, and the accomplice to 10. The murder was followed by country-wide demonstrations in Samuel Luiz's memory, and in defence of LGBT community.
