It is reported that the Jacksonville Police Department were on the scene in the early hours of Wednesday afternoon (February 24). Franks’ body was found murdered on a bike trail close to Ellis Boulevard and her death is being treated as a homicide. In the police reporting and media coverage of Jenna’s death, she has been frequently misgendered. Serena Sonoma, GLAAD’s Communications Coordinator, addressed the deadnaming occurring in media publications: “It’s unfortunate that North Carolina’s local media has failed transgender North Carolinians at a time when accuracy and representation are needed the most,” she said.
