Duanna Johnson

Posted by helenboyd – November 11, 2008

Duanna Johnson was murdered Sunday night.

You may remember her as the woman who pressed charges after dealing with harassment by Memphis police.

She was shot execution style while on her “usual corner.”

I’m tired of this.

I want there to be no reason for the Transgender Day of Remembrance. I want there to be no new names on that goddamn list.

I hope her mother, and her family, and her friends, find peace, and that she has too.

    I’m stunned, outraged, and deeply saddened; fuck this.
