Remembering Our Dead

Hayden Nevah Davis

Hayden's body was found wrapped in a blanket on a pavement. She had been shot multiple times.

Police have said that a trans woman found on the pavement in Detroit, Michigan, was fatally shot, in what is thought to be the 22nd tragic murder of a trans person in the US this year.

The woman, who has not yet been identified, was found on Monday (25 July) after a neighbour reportedly discovered a body on the pavement near his home. Click On Detroit reported that the woman was found wrapped in a blanket at around 11pm and that police determined the woman was shot multiple times.

Witnesses reportedly told the outlet that they believe the woman jumped out of a vehicle and was chased while being shot at. The investigation is ongoing and the woman cannot yet be identified ahead of her autopsy being completed.

Hayden was interested in fashion, the Kardashians, skincare, and makeup. She was the 24th transgender victim of fatal violence reported in the USA in 2022.

Rest in power, Hayden. Your spirit and joy for the things that you loved were infectious. You deserved so many more years to enjoy your life and the world around you. I am sorry we did not keep you safe.
