Walker, who was from Brandon, FL , was found shot to death in a room at the Extended Stay America on Skinner Lake Drive near St John Town Center. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office was called to the location after Walker's body was found at 8 PM EST Sunday.
The reason the media has misgendered her is because it started with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, who is claiming they have a policy that does not refer to victims as transgender.
Well Jacksonville Sheriff's Department, y'all need to deal with the reality that trans people exists, because it was not only disrespectful to refer to Celine as a man, not stating from the outset that a transgender female was murdered (see how easy that was Jacksonville Sheriff's Office) has delayed your investigation
Many of us in the trans community who know her don't know, don't want to know or don't care to know a trans person's dead name. If you tell us what your name is, we respect that.
And her Black trans life mattered
As of yet no word about a memorial service for Celine, but when I find out I'll pass that info to you as soon as I receive it.
Rest in power and peace, Celine. Everyone who loved you will not rest until the person who killed you is brought to justice.
