David, a Black transgender woman, was shot and tragically killed earlier this month (December 4) in Oakland, California. The 33-year-old had recently celebrated her birthday a week before her unfortunate death.
David had hopes of becoming a social media influencer and owning a fashion line. Police officers responded to news of a shooting on Castro Street in West Oakland.
David was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and succumbed to her injuries at the scene. David’s death is believed to be at least the 50th violent killing of a transgender or gender non-conforming person in 2021, according to the Human Rights Campaign.
