Serenity Hollis, a 24-year-old black trans woman, is the 25th known trans or gender diverse person to have been killed in the US this year after she was found dead in Albany, Georgia on May 8.

According to the Human Rights Campaign (HCR), Hollis was shot in the early hours of the morning on Highland Avenue, with local police confirming that her death is being investigated as a potential hate crime.

Although police have not yet identified any suspects, Hollis’s mother, Robyn Osberry, said: “The person that’s responsible has no idea what they took from us…I absolutely want to see that justice is served.” Hollis’s death comes four days after the murders of Danny Henson and Sophie Vasquez, who were both trans women of colour.
