Note- This is the most recent development in the ongoing Inquiry concerning the Death of Transgendered Woman Nizah Morris and the involvement of the Philadelphia Police Dept, on the night of December 22, 2002. Almost 9-1/2 years later, there remains many unanswered questions concerning a traumatic blow to her head shortly after being dropped off by the PPD that night. She died on December 24, 2002 after being taken off of life support. I have included links to several articles that have covered the sequence of events in this case, to give the readers "the big picture".

In the next several weeks, the city's Police Advisory Commission is expected to issue its final report on the Nizah Morris incident.
Morris was a transgender woman found with a fatal head wound shortly after she received a courtesy ride from Philadelphia police in 2002.
Her death was ruled a homicide on Dec. 25, 2002, but the case remains unsolved.
While the PAC is not expected to solve the homicide, the hope is that the Morris report will address lingering concerns about missing and redacted evidence, questionable police paperwork and conflicts between witness and police testimony.
