"Just hours after writing about the murder of Ashton O'Hara, reports are emerging on social media that Kandis Capri, a trans woman of color from Phoenix, Arizona, has also been killed. If true, she will be the sixteenth trans person killed in 2015.
While there have yet to be any official details via the Phoenix police or local news outlets, those close to Kandis Capri say that she was killed, most likely in the past few days.
Facebook user Beverly Spencer posted "RIP Kandis Capri you will be missed!" at 9:50am yesterday. While on August 12th, Shan Price wrote, "My whole day just got messed up. I can't believe this my heart is broken...RIP Kandis Capri love you always.""

"On Tuesday 11 August, at around 11.30pm, gunshots were heard outside an apartment complex in Phoenix. A transgender woman was killed and no one knows why.
According to the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (NCAVP), Kandis Capri, 35, was one of 16 transgender people to be murdered in the US this year.

"The only thing I know [for sure] is that my son was murdered," Andria Gaines, Capri's mother, told the Guardian. "[Kandis] was shot and I don't know all the circumstances."

This is totally creepy, it happened a few miles from my West Phoenix home. This is why I don't present, openly identify as trans, or support forced RLE. If I did, that could have been me.
