"Today Equality Michigan reported on the murder of Ashton O'Hara, a Black transgender and genderfluid person of color who was murdered in Detroit on July 14th. O'Hara's murder makes him (he was using he/him pronouns at the time of his murder) the 14th confirmed murder of a trans person this year, and the 12th of a trans person of color. If we include Mya Hall, a black trans woman who was shot by NSA Security, each of those numbers goes up by one. We're only eight months into the year and we've already seen more trans women murdered than all of last year."
