![A family photo was released of Aniya Parker, who was fatally shot in the head as she tried to run away from three men in East Hollywood.](https://tribktla.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/transgender-woman-slain-east-hollywood-reward.jpg?w=300&h=166)
As the search for her killers continues, family and friends have launched a GoFundMe page to help raise money for Parker’s funeral expenses, describing her as a woman with “a heart of gold.”
The reward was announced during an emotional October 10 press conference. While the LAPD continues to investigate the case as a 'robbery gone wrong', the LA LGBT community continues to insist it was a hate crime.
Aniya Parker's distraught family members just want to know why she was killed.
“I don’t understand how you young people could do such a mean and cruel thing,” said Adrian Parker. “We just want to know why. We didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. … Our family is in deep emotional stress.”
As usual TransGriot readers, will keep you posted on the updates and developments in this case as I receive them.
