BREAKING 🚨🏳️‍🌈

Marlow Trottie, a 35-year-old Black transgender woman from Louisiana, was found fatally shot in Alexandria just weeks before her 36th birthday. Authorities are investigating the case as a homicide, but many in the LGBTQ+ community are also raising concerns over how she has been identified in official statements.

Friends and advocates say Marlow should be remembered by her chosen name and identity, describing her as a kind, caring person whose life mattered. They are urging local media and officials to correct reports that misgendered her and to ensure she is treated with dignity and respect.

As the investigation continues, there has been no public announcement of a suspect, motive, or hate crime designation. Community members are organizing vigils, sharing her story, and calling for accountability and justice.

Marlow Trottie was more than a headline. She was a daughter, a friend, and a member of the community whose life deserves to be honored.

Say her name: Marlow Trottie.
