Tiara Richmond, known as Keke Collier, was a 24-year-old Black transgender woman who was fatally shot on February 21, 2017, in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago. She was sitting in a vehicle with a man about 6:15 a.m. when a gunman fired; the shooter fled in a red vehicle. Richmond suffered multiple gunshot wounds to her chest, arm, and hand and was pronounced dead at Christ Medical Center shortly after the attack.

Initial media reports misgendered Richmond and used her birth name, but her identity as a transgender woman was later acknowledged. Her family — including two sisters and a brother — accepted her gender identity and mourned her loss; friends remembered her as vibrant and fond of dancing. The killing came amid a troubling pattern of fatal violence against transgender people, and it was the second killing of a transgender woman in Chicago within six months.

No arrests or suspects have been identified and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Tiara, remembers the vehicle or the 6:15 a.m. scene in Englewood, or has information that could help, please come forward.
