Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner was among a group of LGBTQ activists who spoke about a troubling trend of deadly violence against trans women in the city over the recent years.
In Philadelphia alone, authorities say seven transwomen have been killed in recent years. Krasner argued that violence against the trans community is an ugly outgrowth of hateful speech that comes from a history of discrimination against the LGBTQ community.
They believe the trend of deadly violence against transwomen is targeted and often at the hands of people the victim knew. "I met Diamond at a candlelight march I organized for Shantee Tucker, another Trans woman who was killed back in 2018," Tatyana K. Woodard from the Mazzoni Center said. "Tragically, here we are some years later at a press conference because she has now been murdered."
