Tributes To Tavahn Ashton

Across social media users’ timelines are statements that show respect, admiration, and gratitude towards Ashton as people mourn the passing.

National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC)

The National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC) mourns the loss of Tavahn Ashton, a 20-year-old Black transgender woman. Known as Taya by friends and loved ones, Ashton was shot and killed in her apartment on Saturday, July 17, 2021. Although motives for the shooting are currently unknown, police do not believe that Ashton’s killing was random and are searching for a suspect. This Wednesday, July 21, friends, family, and community members will hold a vigil and release balloons in Taya Ashton’s honor. “It is disheartening to see the life of another Black transgender woman stolen from us too early and without any reasonable explanation. At just 20 years young, Taya Ashton was just beginning her life,” said NBJC’s Executive Director, David J. Johns. “Not enough has been done to address the epidemic of violence facing the transgender community. In fact, there have been more policy attacks and physical incidents of violence in recent months. Like Ashton, most Black trans women victims have been killed by a firearm–a problem we have yet to address through policy or in practice.
