Pebbles LaDime ‘Dime” Doe was 24 years old. She was born in 1994 and raised in Allendale, South Carolina. On August 4, she was murdered in her hometown less than 100 miles from the place where Denali Stuckey, another Black trans woman, was killed in late July.

Details are sketchy right now and the limited media is misgendering and deadnaming Pebbles. She made her identity quite clear on her Facebook page where posts also implied she had strong relationships with people in her family of origin. Family members say Dime’s body was found inside of a car in a driveway off of Concord Church Road in Allendale County. But there are not other details available.
Doe was found Sunday by a passerby, slumped over the steering wheel of her car in the area of Concord Church and Barnwell roads in Allendale County, according to the State Law Enforcement Division. She had been shot. This is per the Post and Courier.

Planettransgender has more information on how local media are trying to pursue this story with law enforcement and her family.

Her death has not gone unnoticed by friends and family with tributes and outrage over her untimely death filling Facebook. Funeral arrangements are incomplete (note – the obituary deadnames LaDime.) There’s a hint in some posts that perhaps the person who killed was known to her and that information might be in her social media history. That must be damningly frustrating to her family and friends looking for any shred of information on how their 24-year-old loved one was found dead in a car in what appears to be a suspicious death.

LaDime’s Facebook feed is filled with the content you might expect from any 24-year-old young woman – back and forth banter with friends, commentary on social issues, lots of cute pics with Snapchat filters, updates on her plans with family and friends. And then it just ends almost as if she might log back on at any minute to share what she’s been up to these past few days.

Rest in power, LaDime. You were so clearly loved and valued by many people who will work collectively to see justice in your death. You deserved a life filled with everything you sought and so much magic. I’m so sorry and sorry that the investigation into your death is causing pain for your loved ones.

I will update this story as more information becomes available.

  • Fourteen *Black* Transgender women have been murdered. None were white.

    White Trans people need to admit we have privilege and need to stand up and be heard. Counting dead People of Colour as statistics while only worrying only about ourselves is part of the problem.
