On September 28, 2020, 29-year-old Black transgender woman Tracy Mia Green was fatally shot during what began as a traffic stop in West Philadelphia. Officers pulled over a Jeep Wrangler after the driver ran a stop sign at 41st Street and Westminster Avenue; the driver, 28-year-old Abdullah lbn El-Amin Jaamia, told police his passenger had been shot. Green was found in the front passenger seat with a gunshot wound to her neck and was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where she died shortly after arrival.

Investigators say an argument between Jaamia and Green preceded the shooting. Jaamia reportedly grabbed a gun kept between the driver’s seat and center console and fired three times; Green suffered wounds to the back of her neck and left arm, and a third bullet grazed her side. Jaamia was arrested, charged with murder and related offenses, and later identified as the shooter.

Does anyone have information about Mia’s life in West Philadelphia or about people who might help fill gaps in the timeline before that traffic stop?
