Remembering Our Dead

Keymori Shatoya Johnson

Keymori was shot dead in her home on the morning of 6th December 2014. Kuyaunnis James, 25, was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter.

Police have arrested and charged a man with involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of 24-year-old Keymori Shatoya Johnson, a trans woman of color from Albany, Ga., reports the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs.

Johnson was shot to death in her home on West Gordon St. in the early morning hours of December 6, but police have revealed little else to media about the crime. Officials arrested 25-year-old Kuyaunnis James the same day that Johnson was killed, and have also charged him with soliciting prostitution and possession of a firearm during a crime.
