And with the November 20 TDOR date looming, it is my sad duty to inform you that we've lost another transsister to anti-trans violence.
This time we go to Nashville, TN and its north side Bordeaux neighborhood for the latest sister we will be memorializing on November 20. Her name was Gizzy Fowler, and the 24 year was found shot to death in a private driveway at 3904 Lunn Drive.
Fowler's body was lying next to the open door of her car, a white 2006 Buick LaCrosse on November 12. Neighbors reported to Nashville PD hearing a gunshot around 4 or 5 AM CST, and were prompted to call the police because the homeowner had recently passed away due to natural causes..
Fowler is now the eleventh trans woman of color since June to be murdered in the US, with the most recent one being Ashley Sherman in Indianapolis. And as you probably guessed, the Nashville media did a piss poor job in initially covering the story.
Anyone with
information concerning this killing has been asked to call Crime Stoppers at 74-CRIME, or
through an electronic tip by texting the word “CASH” along with the
message to 274637 (CRIMES) or online at www.nashvillecrimestoppers.com
Rest in Peace Gizzy! Know that your trans brothers and trans sisters, and all who loved you will not rest until the person who committed this crime is captured and swiftly brought to justice.
