Redd's death highlights the ongoing violence against transgender individuals. 'I do feel like it was a hate crime,' her cousin said, emphasizing the targeted nature of these attacks.
'We all just started crying,' said Redd's friend Michelle Lee, recalling the moment Redd was shot. Her tragic death symbolizes a disturbing trend in violence against the trans community.
Despite the violent nature of the attack, authorities have not classified the murder as a hate crime, prompting Redd's family to seek justice and raise awareness.
Redd is the first trans woman to die by violence in Chicago this year, with her case adding to the staggering number of similar tragedies across the country.
