"A transgender woman was found shot to death in late September in Birmingham, Ala., and the number of known murders of transgender people this year is officially the highest ever.

The victim, initially misgendered by police and media, was found dead at the Kings Inn in Birmingham September 23. Her sister identified her as Jazz Alford, 30, of High Point, N.C. Like many trans murder victims, she was African-American."
