Tyra Hunter [SEP] manner of death
Tyra Hunter
Tyra Hunter (1970 – August 7, 1995) was an African-American transgender woman who died after being injured as a passenger in a car accident and being refused emergency medical care. Emergency medical technicians at the scene of the accident uttered derogatory epithets and withdrew medical care after cutting open Tyra's pants and
discovering that she had a penis, and ER staff at DC General Hospital subsequently provided dilatory and inadequate care.
On December 11, 1998, a jury awarded Hunter's mother, Margie,
of Tyra Hunter.
