transgender killing

She is at least the 19th transgender person killed this year.

Ebony Morgan, 28. died after being shot multiple times early Sunday morning.

At 17, she’s the youngest transgender murder victim this year.

The young, black trans woman was remembered as a loyal friend with a big personality and a love of singing.

Police initially identified Imer Alvarado as a transgender woman, but friends say they knew Alvarado as a gay man.

Kenneth Bostick is the 10th transgender person murdered this year in the United States alone.

A friend remembered her as “a light” who was “always trying to make everyone around her happy.”

After vanishing without a trace more than four years ago, authorities are now investigating the possibility that Sage Smith was murdered.

“If everyone in the U.S. were murdered at the rate young black trans women and femmes are, there’s no doubt that the public would consider this a crisis of massive proportions.”
