RIP Jazz Alford, Black Trans Woman Murdered in Alabama
Jazz Alford was 30 years old and a native of North Carolina. She was also a black trans woman discovered dead in a Birmingham, Alabama motel in late September. Alford was deliberately misgendered by police (and the media) as part of their investigation process.
Alford’s sister, Toya Milan, who is also a trans woman reached out to media to clarify Jazz’ true identity.
Police have arrested a 23-year-old man, Denzell Thomas for another shooting of a trans woman and he is now a suspect in the Alford case. The other victim survived and is hospitalized as she recovers from her injuries.
