A 19 year old transgender University of Washington student, Juniper Blessing, was brutally murdered inside a laundry room at UW’s Nordheim Court student housing in Seattle on May 10. According to investigators, she suffered more than 40 stab wounds. After police released surveillance photos, the suspect later turned himself in and was booked into King County Jail on suspicion of murder.

The killing has devastated students, the LGBTQ+ community, and people across Washington state. Memorials have grown outside campus housing as many speak out about the fear and violence trans people continue to face nationwide.

Police say the investigation is ongoing and a motive has not yet been officially confirmed. But regardless, a young trans student lost her life in an act of horrific violence that should never have happened.
