#2 Another Trans* Woman is Shot in Memphis
This makes 5 in Memphis is the past 3 years (four within the past 2). The total number of murdered Trans* women in the US this year is 17 - and we are only half way through.
Venezuela has had a rash of Trans* sex workers murdered this past month (20) - all found with their money and phones, so robbery has been ruled out. As in many places, trans* sex workers in Venezuela work in a specific area (s). On one hand it makes it easier to connect with guys looking for them, but it also makes them easy targets. The authorities don't seem vary pressed about solving any of the murders.
