On March 3, 2021, 23-year-old Diamond Kyree Sanders, a transgender woman of color, was found shot in a parking lot on Morrison Avenue in Clifton, Cincinnati, Ohio. She was taken to a hospital but later died of her injuries. Cincinnati police determined the killing arose from a robbery and said it was not a hate crime.

Authorities arrested three people in connection with the shooting: 33-year-old Franchez Rivers, 28-year-old Christopher Hisle, and 29-year-old Kiara Davis. All three were charged with murder, aggravated robbery, and felonious assault; Rivers was arraigned with bond set at $2 million. Investigators did not release additional details about the motive beyond the robbery finding.

Sanders’ obituary described her as a vibrant person who loved fashion, travel, and spending time with family. Her death drew national attention and discussion about the safety of transgender women of color. Does anyone have information about Sanders, her routine, or the area around Morrison Avenue that could help clarify what happened?
