Trans woman shot dead in Guyana
A transgender woman was gunned down last week in Guyana.
Nephi Luthers was shot in the chest at around 2.35am on Wednesday (22 July) morning in the capital Georgetown.
According to the Guyana Chronicle, Luthers was a sex worker and had refused to give a refund to an unsatisfied client earlier that night.
He later returned with another man and a heated row erupted, during which one of them shot Luthers before they sped away in an SUV.
Other sex workers rushed to Luthers to hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
Police said they were reviewing video footage and pursuing the two suspects, although no arrests have yet been made.
The Guyana Trans United group said it was saddened and in shock to hear ‘another member has been gunned down.’
Two nights before the shooting, the group held a candlelight vigil in remembrance of two other transgender sex workers who were murdered on 20 July 2014.
