Family, friends, and the LGBTQ+ community are mourning Marlow Trottie, a 35-year-old Black trans woman who was found dead in Alexandria, Louisiana, on 8 June.
Police have confirmed in an Alexandria Police Department press release that her death is being investigated as a homicide, though authorities have not yet released details about how she was killed or whether any suspects have been identified.
Friends, family members and former classmates have remembered Trottie as a kind-hearted person who could make anyone laugh. One classmate described her in a Facebook comment as “literally the sweetest person I’ve ever met,” while others recalled her constant smile and positive spirit.
While some people who knew Trottie refer to her with “he/him” pronouns online, across several of her social media profiles, Trottie publicly identified as female and frequently shared uplifting messages about resilience, authenticity, and self-acceptance.
“I am me,” one post read. “I don’t pretend to be everyone else. I don’t want to be like everyone else. And I will not change who I am just to fit in.”
