Amia was found with gunshot injuries in the Shades Motel on Airline Highway. She died at the scene, and local media misgendered her.

TransGriot reader jade Lenore has informed of another trans sister who has been violently taken from us in Baton Rouge, LA.

Her name is Amia Tyrae Berryman, and she was 28 years old. Her body was found at 1:15 AM in the Shades Motel on Airline Highway with gunshot injuries. She died at the murder scene, and the East Baton Rouge Parish coroner will be conducting an autopsy tomorrow

And as you probably guessed, local media stating WBRZ-TV 2 misgendered her.
