Monica Roberts, 58, died in Houston on Oct. 5. Her body was found in the parking lot of an apartment complex in west Houston and wasn’t identified until two days later.

The medical examiner found that she died of an unspecified “medical emergency.” Roberts was known for the blog TransGriot which gained national attention for identifying murders of transgender people, especially trans women of color, around the country.
