I discovered this was Lovely’sdaughter Ke Ke reached out to me on Facebook
I came across an article you did I just wanted to say thank you so much and the update is the detective finally got the state to charge the person and he is now in jail bond court was yesterday.
She also said “grief is a long journey that you somehow try to find healing along the way you be so helpless when it comes to grief.”
I’m glad this murderous son of a bitch was caught. Justice for Lovely and her family. But also justice for other potential victims. Encouragement for the survivors of those whose deaths we’ve reported without closure. We need more closure. Justice requires us to more aggressively hold all anti-trans offenders accountable for the harm they cause.
Rest in power, Lovely.
