Crystal Edmonds, a 32-year-old Black transgender woman, was found with a gunshot wound to the back of her head on a sidewalk in the 3600 block of Fairview Avenue in Baltimore in the early morning hours of September 16, 2016. Police received the call at about 3:18 a.m.; she was taken to a hospital but died a few hours later. The Baltimore Police Department canvassed the neighborhood and offered a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment.

Investigators noted the area where she was found was known for sex work and said it was unclear whether Edmonds’ transgender identity was a factor in the killing. Metro Crime Stoppers publicized the case and community groups held vigils, calling attention to violence against transgender women of color. No suspects or arrests have been publicly reported.

If anyone knew Crystal, saw activity on Fairview Avenue that night, or has information that could help, please come forward to authorities.
