Tragically, #VenusPellagattiXtravaganza was #murdered at the age of 23, and her murder remains #unsolved. Despite her untimely #death, her #legacy as a #trans #icon and her #impact on the #BallroomCulture have endured. Efforts have been made to honor her memory, including designating her childhood home in Jersey City as a historic landmark and developing a #documentary about her life.

#Venus was here.
