Aniya Knee Parker, a 47-year-old transgender woman, was shot and killed in East Hollywood, Los Angeles, on October 2, 2014. She was walking on North Kenmore Avenue around 3 a.m. when she encountered three men; surveillance footage shows a struggle over Parker’s purse and Parker attempting to flee before being shot. She was taken to hospital and pronounced dead at 5:05 a.m. The purse, with $24 inside, was left at the scene, suggesting a robbery gone wrong.

The LAPD opened a homicide investigation and offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to arrest and conviction. Investigators said the killing arose from a narcotics transaction and robbery rather than from Parker’s gender identity, though members of the LGBT community expressed concern that she may have been targeted because she was transgender. Two suspects were arrested; Ulises Carcamo was convicted of first-degree murder, second-degree robbery and being a felon in possession of a firearm and sentenced to 50 years to life, and Eric Carreon Carrillo, then 17, was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and received a nine-year sentence after testifying against Carcamo under a plea deal.

Did anyone in the area see anything that night or have information about the narcotics transaction linked to the attack?
