“Furious. Heartbroken. Livid. We will fight for justice and we will fight to find her killer.”
“The Philadelphia Office of LGBT Affairs is heartbroken by the loss of Shantee Tucker, a Black transgender woman who was murdered last night. Our deepest sympathies are with her loved ones and members of our LGBTQ community who have been affected by this tragedy. Acts of violence like this continue to steal the lives of transgender individuals, especially transgender women of color, at a horrific rate.
While our hearts are heavy with the searing pain of grief and loss, we remain committed to working tirelessly to ensure that transgender people are valued, respected, and free from victimization in our city and beyond. As more information of this incident becomes available, we will continue to offer support and resources to anyone who is in need.”
