Tracy Mia Green, a 29-year-old Black transgender woman, was shot and killed on September 28, 2020, in Philadelphia. She was in the passenger seat of a car driven by Abdullah El-Amin, 40, when officers pulled the vehicle over for allegedly running a stop sign. El-Amin told police his passenger had been shot; investigators found Mia shot multiple times at close range in the passenger seat. She was pronounced dead at Penn-Presbyterian Hospital.

Prosecutors charged Abdullah El-Amin with third-degree murder and possession of an instrument of crime. Mia’s killing occurred amid a surge of attacks on transgender people in 2020; her death was one of at least 37 reported killings of transgender individuals in the United States that year. Friends and community members remember Mia for her vibrant personality and her smile and continue to advocate for safety and justice for transgender people.
