Hailie "Spot" Singleton
Age 295 May 2026
Dunnellon, Florida (USA)
Shot
Hailie's body was found on a dirt road. Media reporting of their murder was almost nonexistant and failed to recognise the reality of their nuanced and complex trans identity.
Hailey Singleton had multiple names. Their trans identity was nuanced and complex. In fact, all identities are, a reality that terrifies some people.
On May 5, 2026, Hailey’s body was found along again a dirt road in Dunnellon, Florida. A call was made to 911 around 4 PM. They died from gunshot injuries. No suspect has been identified.
Initial reporting misgendered and deadnamed Hailey. This was not a nuanced response to complex identity. It was the typical binary lens law enforcement clings to in spite of the facts. The media follows suit.
They were born in Tucson, Arizona. Hailey attended Palo Verde High School in a career and technical education program. They moved to Florida around 2020. Some social media posts indicate they were considering moving to another city.
According to their socials, Hailey was a fan of cars and art. They followed several social media influencers.
They are described in loving terms by friends and family as someone who would give the shirt off their back to help someone.
Hailey used the name Mommie Spotsie King. Several media outlets have published their assigned name, but we have chosen not to do so.
Hailey’s whole identity should be celebrated and acknowledged.
