Ashanti Carmon was a 27-year-old transgender woman of color. On March 30th, 2019 she was shot multiple times in Fairmount Heights and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Ashanti’s fiance, Philip Williams said, “Until I leave this Earth, I’m going to continue on loving her in my heart, body, and soul.”
