The murder of trans people has served as an impetus to the establishment of the Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR).[1][2]

In 2019, the American Medical Association called the violence against trans people an "epidemic".[3][4][5]

In 2020, ABC News "independently confirmed 34 violent deaths of transgender and gender non-conforming people in 2020 at the time of publication." This was published by Good Morning America.[6] According to the Human Rights Campaign, at least 57 transgender and gender non-conforming people were killed in 2021, surpassing the total from 2020 of 44 people.[7]

Before 1990

Nazi Germany

The Nazi Regime targeted, imprisoned, and killed an indeterminate number of transgender people, especially trans women.[8] Like many sent to concentration camps, the ultimate fates of specific transgender prisoners are usually uncertain, but records exist of a small number of known victims.

Indonesia

The Indonesian 1960s Islamic New Order regime also targeted transgender individuals for violent persecution. Long home to a variety of transgender and third-gender identities, the new government cracked down on ceremonies and rituals of the non-binary bissu community. Individuals were subjected to public head-shaving, while some were tortured and murdered; reports from the time indicate bissu were given the choice of detransition or death. In Bone, the bissu Sanro Makgangke was decapitated, and their head was displayed publicly as a threat to others.[11][12]

1990s

[edit]

  • 1991 – Sonia Rescalvo Zafra, a 45-year-old transgender woman, was killed in the Parc de la Ciutadella in Barcelona by six neo-Nazi skinheads who kicked her and her friend Dori repeatedly in the head while they were lying on the floor. Her death spurred the LGBT community to publicly fight against violence.[13][14]
  • 1993 – Brandon Teena, a 21-year-old transgender man, was raped and murdered in Falls City, Nebraska on 31 December.[15] Two men were convicted of first-degree murder in the incident, one of whom was sentenced to death. The crime became the subject of the Academy Award-winning film Boys Don't Cry.[15]
  • 1995 – Chanelle Pickett, a 23-year-old transgender woman, was strangled on 20 November after spending the night over at a man's apartment. The defendant, William C. Palmer, originally pled what may be the earliest known legal use of the trans panic defense.[16][17][18] However, Palmer abandoned this story after the victim's sister revealed that he had known Pickett and been aware of her trans status.[19] Her death was cited as part of the impetus behind the establishment of Transgender Day of Remembrance.[20]
  • 1996 – Deborah "Debbie" Forte was a 56-year-old transgender woman whose body was discovered on 15 May, having been strangled, beaten severely, and stabbed repeatedly in the breasts and chest.[21] Her killer, Michael Thompson, was found guilty of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. Thompson's coworker testified that after the murder, Thompson had come to work and confessed that he had gone home with Forte and begun "messing around", before killing her after realizing she had a penis.[22]

2000s

[edit]
  • 2000 – Amanda Milan, a 25-year-old transgender woman, was walking by Times Square, Manhattan, New York City, when Dwayne McCuller walked up and began to harass and threaten her.[23] Milan stood up to him and asked him if he wanted to fight.[24] Witnesses said he declined.[23] As he walked away, another young man, Eugene Celestine, told McCuller he had a knife. McCuller grabbed it, and stabbed Milan in the neck.[24] A man named David Anderson reportedly helped McCuller escape from the scene.[23] Milan died soon after at St. Vincent's Hospital.[23] Transgender activist Sylvia Rivera worked towards seeing that Milan's death was investigated, and organized Milan's political funeral along with demonstrations claiming a disconnection of transgender rights from the larger LGBT communities.[25] After Milan's murder, Rivera reformed a transgender activist group, Street Trans Activist Revolutionaries (STAR).[26] Rivera cited the crime among the reasons to add a broad definition of gender to the New York City Human Rights Law.[27]
  • 2001 – Fred Martinez Jr., a transgender 16-year old American from Cortez, Colorado was bludgeoned to death in June 2001 with a rock by an 18-year old man.[28] Martinez' killer was sentenced in 2002 to serve between 4 and 48 years for the murder, and was paroled in 2019.[29]
  • 2002 – Gwen Araujo of Newark, California, a Hispanic teenage transgender woman, was killed by four men, two of whom she had had sexual relations with, who beat and strangled her after discovering she was transgender.[30][31][32] Two defendants were convicted of second-degree murder,[33] but not convicted on the requested hate crime enhancements. The other two defendants pleaded guilty or no contest to voluntary manslaughter. In at least one of the trials, a trans panic defense – an extension of the gay panic defense – was employed.[33][34]
  • 2003 – Nireah Johnson was a 17-year-old African American transgender girl who was murdered along with her friend Brandie Coleman in Indianapolis, Indiana by Paul Moore. Paul Moore was initially sexually attracted to Johnson, and then discovered that she was transgender. This led him to light her car on fire while she and Coleman were inside. Moore was sentenced to 120 years in prison for the murders while his half-brother, Clarence McGee, received a 10-year sentence as an accomplice.[35][unreliable source?]
  • 2003 – Janice Roberts was an American transgender woman who was kidnapped by serial killer William Devin Howell on 18 June. Howell later told an informant that he tried to engage Roberts in a sexual act, and strangled her when he realized that she was transgender.[36]
  • 2003 – Shelby Tracy Tom was a Canadian transgender woman working as a sex worker in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, who was killed by Jatin Patel on 27 May 2003.[37] According to Patel, while having sex with her, she noticed Tom's surgery scars, and she panicked as a result and strangled her. The prosecutor attempted to classify Tom's death as a hate crime, but Supreme Court of British Columbia Justice Patrick Dohm ruled that the crime was not motivated by hate, because Patel did not know of Tom's transgender identity when meeting her, and thus could not have targeted her for it.[38] Patel's defense attorney used a gay panic defense on her behalf. She pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter, and was sentenced to nine years in jail.[39] Patel subsequently came out as a transgender woman.[40]
  • 2006 – Gisberta Salce Júnior, a Brazilian homeless transgender woman, was murdered in Oporto, Portugal, by a group of 14 youths between 12 and 16 years old, who tortured and raped her for three days, and finally threw her, still alive, into a well over 15 meters deep, where she drowned. Eleven of the minors received minimal sentences of under 13 months in a semi-open education center of the Instituto de Reinserção Social, and two received sentences of additional education.[41][42] Her death became a symbol of violence against women and the LGBT community, and shortly after, laws protecting trans women were introduced in Portugal.[43]
  • 2007 – Roberto González Onrubia, a transgender man, was killed by two women who had found refuge in his apartment, in Madrid, Spain. Both women had been mistreating Roberto physically and psychologically for a year, before they killed him on 29 August 2007 with a brutal hit on the head. Both women were condemned to 19 years in prison.[44][45][46]
  • 2008 – Angie Zapata was a transgender woman who was murdered on 17 July 2008, in Greeley, Colorado. Her death was the first case involving a transgender victim to be ruled a hate crime.[47] Colorado is one of eleven states that protect transgender victims under hate crime laws in the United States. Allen Andrade, who learned eighteen-year-old Angie was transgender after meeting her and spending several days with her, beat her to death with a fire extinguisher. In his arrest affidavit, Andrade called Zapata "it",[48] and during his trial, a tape was played of a phone conversation in which he told his girlfriend "gay things need to die".[49] Andrade's attorneys used a gay panic defense. On 22 April 2009, Andrade was found guilty of first degree murder, hate crimes, and car/ID theft. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.[50]

Alrashim Chambers was brought to trial for her death, but he was acquitted; he blamed another man, Marquise Foster, for the murder.

  • 2011 – Dee Dee Pearson, an African American transgender woman, was murdered in Kansas City, Missouri, US, on 24 December 2011. Kenyon Jones confessed to the murder, telling police that he had paid Pierson for sex, and after he found out she was transgender, he killed her in anger.[52][53] He was convicted of second degree murder and armed criminal action, and was sentenced to 30 years in jail.[54]

After he realized she was transgender, he struck her. After falling down, Dixon proceeded to beat her. She died of head injuries in hospital. Her death prompted a number of protests.

Vallum was convicted of both state murder charges, for which he received life imprisonment without parole,[67] and federal charges of hate crimes under the Hate Crimes Prevention Act, for which he was sentenced to forty-nine years imprisonment; prosecutors chose not to seek life imprisonment on the federal charges, owing to Vallum's childhood abuse.[68]
  • 2016 – Paola Ledezma, a 27-year-old transgender woman who was rejected by her family and left her birthplace to become a sex worker in Mexico City, was shot on 30 September by client Arturo Felipe Delgadillo Olvera, who became angry after he found out that she was transgender.

  • 2018 – Following a false rumor that transgender women were kidnapping children for sex trafficking in Hyderabad, India, four transgender women were attacked by a mob on 26 May 2018. One of the women died.

  • 2019 – Nikki Kuhnhausen, a 17-year-old transgender girl, was murdered by David Y. Bogdanov.[89][90] Her body was identified from decayed human remains on Saturday, 7 December, in the Larch Mountain area near Vancouver, Washington. Authorities were able to identify the body as Kuhnhausen from personal effects; subsequent examination showed she died from strangulation. Kuhnhausen had previously been missing since 5 June (reported 10 June) when she left with David Y. Bogdanov, a 25-year-old male, who has since been charged with second degree murder. Authorities believe the suspect, looking for a sexual encounter, became enraged upon learning of her transgender status. On 26 February 2020, the Washington State Legislature passed the Nikki Kuhnhausen Act, outlawing the use of panic defenses based on gender and sexual identities. The act preempts the trial of Kuhnhausen's alleged killer, and thus prevents the use of that defense.[91][92][93]
