ezs note: Sadly, yet another transgender woman has been murdered. Her name was Ciara McElveen. While I have no doubt that members of the New Orleans Police Department do their work very hard, it all seems so bootless. Transgender women do have a right to attend concert, go to a bar, restaurant, or coffeeshop, or just enjoy an evening stroll without suffering the, ahem, annoyance of being raped or murdered. Can we see what might be done more proactively? Thanks.

ezs note: New Orleans police caught a break by capturing a picture of the vehicle involved in the killing of Chyna Gibson. However, the person remains at large. Please, look at the car carefully. It's a black sedan, (possibly a Camaro). It's hard to tell from the angle, but the car might have tinted windows. If you see it, please call the New Orleans Police Department at 504-658-5300. C'mon, let's put this vermin behind bars!
