Debarione Seals, 26, was shot multiple times and killed on December 14, 2017, in the Sunnyside neighborhood of Houston, Texas. Also known as Brandi Seals, she was found around 6 a.m. lying in the driveway of an unfinished home after witnesses reported hearing several gunshots. Law enforcement and medical personnel responded, but Seals succumbed to her injuries.

Investigators said the attack may have been motivated by her gender identity, with the possibility that someone realized she was transgender and targeted her. Her death was noted as part of a wave of violence against transgender women of color in 2017; community members spoke of grief and demanded justice while noting the need for greater protections.

If anyone has information about what happened that morning in Sunnyside, please come forward to assist the investigation.
