HRC Mourns Shantee Tucker, a Trans Woman Killed in Philadelphia<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n

HRC mourns the senseless loss of Shantee Tucker, a Black transgender woman<\/a> who was killed Wednesday morning in Philadelphia in the 19th known case of deadly violence against the transgender community this year, and the third known case of deadly gun violence against Black trans<\/a> women<\/a> in the past seven days.<\/strong> Sixteen of the known victims of deadly violence against transgender people in 2018 have been women<\/a> of color. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The deaths this past week of Tucker, Dejanay Stanton<\/a> in Chicago and Vontashia Bell<\/a> in Louisiana — all Black transgender women<\/a> — underscore the urgent need to address the epidemic of violence against the transgender community.<\/p>\n

According to a local news outlet<\/a>, Tucker, 30, was found on a highway in Philadelphia after being shot in the back. She was taken to Temple University Hospital where she was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n

Tucker had just celebrated her 30th birthday. Friends and family honored her life and mourned her death on Facebook<\/a>, recalling that she was like \u201canother big sister\u201d to them and remembering her \u201cbeautiful spirit and fun aura.\u201d Her cousin said that Tucker was now \u201cwaiting in line to get her halo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Violence against transgender people, particularly against trans<\/a> women<\/a> of color, is an epidemic that urgently needs to be addressed by our communities, elected officials and institutions.<\/p>\n

Last fall, the HRC Foundation and the Trans People of Color Coalition released a comprehensive report<\/a> detailing this tragic epidemic that made 2017 the deadliest year on record for transgender people. If this disturbing trend continues, 2018 may soon see more reported lives lost than in the previous year.<\/p>\n
