{ Monica Roberts’ post on the murder of Kyra Kruz }

If anyone has any information of who she may have been with, or recent information that may help with solving this case, please contact Detective Pitts of The Philadelphia Police Department at 215-686-3334.

The sooner you do so, the sooner the wastes of DNA who committed this crime can be brought to justice.

A candlelight vigil is currently being organized for her to take place on Thursday, September 13 starting at 8 PM EDT at the William Way Center, 1315 Spruce St in Philadelphia.

An organizational meeting to plan the vigil will be taking place on Wednesday at the William Way Center starting at 6:30 PM EDT.  

Anyone in the Philadelphia area interested in speaking, performing or even donating candles and snacks for the vigil is asked to contact Jaden.  BLITZJaden@gmail.com is the contact e-mail address.

The plan for the vigil is to start at the William Way Center and walk throughout the nearby Philly gayborhood, sharing stories and remembering this young woman who is gone too soon. .

But it’s sad and aggravating that once again the rainbow community will have to gather together to remember a person who was violently taken away from us far too soon.

Rest in peace, Kyra.   Know that you are loved and missed by all who loved you.  They won’t rest until the perpetrators of this crime are expeditiously brought to justice.

I, the trans community and our allies are also not happy with the fact that the list of names we’re going to be reading at TDOR 2012 in November is getting unacceptably longer.
