Felycya Harris was 33 when she was found dead in Meadowbrook Park in Augusta, Georgia, on the afternoon of Saturday, October 3, 2020. She had sustained a fatal gunshot wound, and the Richmond County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide. Early reports from the sheriff’s office misgendered her, a painful error noted by friends and advocates.

Harris was a Black transgender woman who worked as an interior decorator and ran her own business. Friends remembered her for an infectious laugh, love of dance and a bright, humorous spirit. Her death prompted calls for justice from the local community, which also highlighted the broader pattern of fatal violence against transgender and gender non-conforming women of color.

Does anyone have information about Harris, her work, or what happened in Meadowbrook Park that afternoon?
