Her body was found four days later, shoved under a hotel bed. Īccording to the Human Rights Campaign, as of November 2021, at least 45 transgender and gender non-conforming people have been killed, surpassing the total from 2020. In 2020, ABC News 'independently confirmed 34 violent deaths of transgender and gender non-conforming people in 2020 at the time of publication.' This was published by Good Morning America. In 2019, the American Medical Association called the violence against trans people an 'epidemic'.
The murder of trans people has served as an impetus to the establishment of the Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR).
