Nikki Nicholas was 19 when her body was found on February 21, 2003, in an abandoned farmhouse in Green Oak Township, Michigan, between M-36 and Spicer Road. She had been fatally shot and her death was classified as a homicide.

Nikki, born Anthony Lionel Nicholas, lived as a woman and performed as a female impersonator in Detroit-area bars. Her family last heard from her on February 15, 2003, when she said she was going to a party somewhere between Detroit and Ann Arbor. Witnesses reported seeing her picked up by one or two unidentified men in Detroit before she disappeared. The Livingston County Major Case Task Force assisted the Green Oak Township Police on the investigation, but the case went cold and no arrests have been announced.

The possibility that the killing was a hate crime has been raised in the community, but investigators have not declared a motive. If anyone knew Nikki, saw her between February 15 and 21, 2003, or has information about those who picked her up, please share what you know with investigators.
