La’Daijah Walters Murdered This Morning In Mobile, Alabama

While the nation celebrates Pride, party goers are recovering from the weekend and organizers are preparing for the upcoming weekend’s festivities- a bruised and battered Trans community is waking up to learn yet another Black Trans woman has lost her life to violence all too soon. News WKRG5 in Alabama reported early this morning about a shooting that happened around 6:35 a.m. inside an apartment unit at 5725 Old Pascagoula Road in Mobile. The story was updated to reflect by 10AM that the victim had passed and was being investigated as a homicide. Although local news stations have not yet identified the victim by name, Blaque/OUT Magazine was unfortunately able to confirm through Alabama advocates and a friend of the victim that she was being misgendered in reports and is in fact, La’Daijah Walters of Mobile.
