Huffington Post: Shouting Disrupts Vigil For Murdered Transgender Woman Islan Nettles Posted: 28 Aug 2013 03:02 PM PDT NEW YORK -- On Tuesday night, hundreds turned out for a vigil in honor of Islan Nettles, a 21-year-old transgender woman who died after an attack just blocks from the park where family, friends and LGBT advocates gathered in her memory. Nettles, who was pursuing a career in fashion, was walking Aug. 17 with a transgender friend when they encountered several men who shouted transphobic and homophobic slurs, and beat them. Nettles died in the hospital several days later. The police are currently investigating the case as a hate crime, according to The New York Times. Before the vigil, old friends met up and gathered before the stage. Some knew Nettles personally, but many others were there because they felt as though they knew her. Tamara Williams, a 24-year old transgender woman with long braids, said she'd never met Nettles, but they were "in the same scene." Read More... More on Civil Rights

The project was vandalized either late Thursday or early Friday, the Daily Tar Heel reports. University employees discovered the vandalism around 5 a.m. Friday, Pino told HuffPost. Senior Associate Director of the Carolina Union Scott Hudson filed a police report later that morning. Read More... More on University Of North Carolina
