New Orleans Police responded to a call Saturday night around 8:26 PM CST in the 4300 block of Downman Road and found the body of the 31 year old Gibson lying in the parking lot of the Bella Plaza shopping center in New Orleans East between two vehicles in front of a clothing store.
And as usual, at least one NOLA news station, WWL-TV misgendered her.
She had been shot multiple times and was pronounced dead on the scene. Gibson is now the fifth US trans woman murdered in 2017, all women of color.
NOPD Homicide Detective Robert Barrere is in charge of the investigation, and can be reached at 504- 658-1111 if you have any information concerning this murder.
The Orleans Parish coroner will be releasing further details about this case.
What also has me upset about hearing about this latest murder just down I-10 east is that last month a YouTube video surfaced of two cisgender males harassing and hunting trans women in the New Orleans area.
You can also call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or 1-877-903-STOP if you have information that will lead to the apprehension of the person or persons who committed this crime.
Rest in power and peace, Chyna. We will not rest until the person who did this is brought to justice and rotting in a jail cell.
