Notes: 25-year-old Emonie Kiera Spaulding was from Massachusetts and North Carolina, and had been living in D.C. for about two years. According to her Uncle, Spaulding loved music as a child and sang in a church choir. Her partially nude body was discovered by police in a field. She had been shot but also had severe head wounds. Another transgendered woman was brutally attacked the same evening as Spaulding, and a memorial to the recently-murdered Bella Evangelista was also destroyed that night. It is unknown if these are connected with Spaulding’s death
