There's nothing sadder than a young talent being lost too soon. Unfortunately for all of us, Puerto Rican singer, Kevin Fret, was murdered at the age of just 24. In addition to being a top Latin music artist, Fret was openly gay, gender nonconforming, and an advocate for up and coming LGBT stars. He also used his extensive social media platform to speak out against bullying.
Sadly, Fret was no stranger to homophobic violence and was charged in 2018 after fighting with a man he claims attacked him because of his sexuality. On January 10, 2019, Fret was shot at eight times while riding his motorbike in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He was transported to a medical center, where he was pronounced dead. His death has been labeled a homicide, but many activist groups claim it was also a hate crime.
