Skyler Gilmore, a 25-year-old Black transgender woman, was killed in her Stone Mountain, Georgia, apartment in the early hours of June 4, 2021. Gilmore was on the phone with a friend when she got another call to let someone in at the complex gate; she later called back in distress saying she had been shot. Police found her unresponsive in her bedroom with a single gunshot wound to the torso; she was taken to a hospital where she died.

Investigators tied the killing to two members of a local gang, JaQuan Brooks, 25, and Davonte Fore, 26. Cell phone data and apartment surveillance placed both men at the scene; video shows a white Nissan Rogue driven by Brooks with Fore in the passenger seat entering the gate around the time of the call.

A jury later convicted Brooks and Fore of Malice Murder, two counts of Felony Murder, Aggravated Assault, Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon, and Possession of a Firearm during the Commission of a Felony. Brooks was taken into custody after the verdict. Fore had been released on bond earlier in the case, fled during the trial before the verdict, and was sentenced in absentia; authorities consider him a fugitive and a danger to the community. If anyone has information about Fore’s whereabouts or knew Skyler, please share what you know.
