We have lost another family member. 26-year-old, Eyricka Morgan was murdered in New Brunswick, N.J. She was allegedly stabbed to death by Devonte Scott. He was arrested and is currently held in jail on a million bond.
Eyricka was known to be a vibrant person. She was a former student at Rutgers University and involved in social justice issues. She very open about her experiences and active with queer women of color in the area.
We have to stop losing our trans sisters this way.
She will be missed.

The perp was a roommate and allegedly used what I'm guessing was a chef's knife.
ReplyDeleteEven this stuff can happen under our own roof. No wonder I choose not to have a roommate.
Terrible and I'll be surprised if her being trans was not part of the reason but in the stories I read, no motive or reason was given so it is just assumed that she was killed bc she was trans?
