A public memorial and candlelight vigil will be held on Monday, January 25 at 6 pm to honor Myra Ical, whose body was found last Monday in the 4300 block of Garrott St near Richmond Avenue.

The memorial will include two moments of silence, one for Ms. Ical and another for other transgender Houstonians who have been murdered whose crimes remain unsolved, as well as a moment of noise-making to recognize that it is silence that allows the perpetrators of crime to go unpunished.

Gennee, I was not there.  But Cristan Williams posted a video which has multiple photos of the memorial.  The turnout was large, far exceeding expectations.

A local news crew attended, and this is what aired on the local Fox station:

Thank yu, Allamakee. The video was wonderful. It's wonderful that more people came to the vigil than they expected.
