Transgender Woman brutally Murdered
Family Requests Community attendance at her Vigil
An African-American transgender woman, who went by the name Delicious, but whose family knew as Tony Green, who was 46 years old, who was born June 24, 1959, was murdered on Friday August 13, 2004 in the Franciscan Motel - 6600 3rd Street. Currently the murder is under investigation and anti-transgender bias is being looked at as a motive. Delicious' family is holding a community vigil for her on Sunday, August 22, 2004, at 7pm, at 27 Garlington Court (cross street: La Salle) in Bay View Hunter's Point.
There will be a reception following the vigil in the same neighborhood at Comma Court. Friends, family members, and the community are welcome to come & remember Delicious and support her family. Participants are welcome to bring flowers, cards & food for the reception.
We at BACW encourage the community to honor her memory and support her family by attending the vigil this Sunday.
If anyone has questions about the vigil please contact Tina D'Elia or Norma Garcia at CUAV (Community United Against Violence). If anyone has information regarding this case please contact Investigator Mike Mahoney at the Homicide Unit of the SFPD.
