(via Celine Walker, 36, is the 4th Trans Woman Murdered in the US in 2018)
Celine Walker was 36 years old when she died in a Florida motel room from a gunshot wound. She died on Sunday, February 4, 2018.
She is the 4th transgender woman, the 3rd trans woman of color, and the second Black trans woman that we know of to be killed in 2018 in the United States. She is also the second Black trans woman who was killed THIS WEEK.
Misgendering and deadnaming by the local police and local media delayed notification of the community by nearly a week. These are frequent choices by law enforcement and journalists – to use inaccurate information. It is reprehensible practice.
