HRC Mourns Diamond Kyree Sanders, Black Transgender Woman Killed in Cincinnati
HRC is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Diamond Kyree Sanders, a 23-year-old Black transgender woman who was shot to death in Cincinnati, Ohio on March 3. Her death is at least the 11th violent death of a transgender or non-binary person in 2021. We say “at least” because too often these deaths go unreported or misreported.
Diamond was described by a family member on social media as “beloved.” An obituary shared by her family describes many loving memories. “She valued her family and enjoyed spending time with them. As a child, she would say ‘I love my WHOLE family!’,” the obituary states. “As an adult, Diamond was a traveler, known to be in New York City one week and New Orleans the following week. Diamond was really into fashion… Diamond’s unique style, charm and personality will be greatly missed.”
