Killing of Fernando Rios
On September 28, 1958, Fernando Rios, a 26-year-old Mexican tour guide and gay man, died due to injuries sustained during an assault he experienced the previous night in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. The assault was perpetrated by John Farrell, a 20-year-old student at Tulane University, who was accompanied by fellow students Alberto Calvo and David Drennan.
Earlier in the night, Farrell had recommended to Calvo and Drennan that they rob a gay man, with Farrell targeting Rios at the Cafe Lafitte in Exile, a gay bar.
