Dee Whigham is her name, and the 25 year old registered nurse was found stabbed to death Saturday in a hotel room in St Martin. MS. She was just starting her career in the medical field and worked for a hospital in Hattiesburg.
And once again, another Black trans woman who won't make it to her 30th birthday.
Whigham had traveled to the South Mississippi area with several friends in order to attend the Gulf Coast Black Rodeo in Biloxi, and she and her friends were staying in Room 127 at the Best Western Plus Cypress Creek Hotel just north of I-10 near the Ocean Springs exit
There is a person of interest in the murder that Jackson County sheriffs are looking for. A man was spotted by the hotel security cameras around 8:35 PM wearing a green shirt and carrying a backpack, but at 8:58 PM showing the same man leaving with his shirt off and hanging around his neck.
Rest in power and peace sis. We won't rest until your killer is brought to justice.
TransGriot Update: An arrest has been made in the Dee Whigham murder. 20 year old Dwanya Hickerson has been charged with her murder.
