Remembering Our Dead

Cinnamon Broadus

Cinnamon was shot multiple times. Her killers were thought to have used anti-gay slurs.

Reports say that Cinnamon was a prostitute who identified as gay and 'sometimes dressed as a woman.' Cinnamon presented as a woman when she was murdered.

Broadus died along Northwest 21st Avenue wearing a blond weave in an elaborate up-do that he had someone style the night of his death, Calloway said. A man driving a gray or silver Honda Accord cruised Sistrunk, waving over a couple women and then motioning them away when he saw Broadus, police said.

Broadus, about six feet tall and 200 pounds, strutted up to the car, put [her] arm up the roof and ducked down to the window. The driver fired a .38-caliber gun, and the bullet pierced Broadus under [her] arm, traveling through to [her] chest, Calloway said.

Broadus fell dead in the street, [her] purse and cash scattered behind [her], police said.
