The Murder of Jazz Alford (SOLVED)

Jazz Alford was a thirty-year old transgender woman who was killed on September 23, 2016 at the Kings Inn, in Birmingham, Alabama. She pulled into the motel after car trouble forced her to stay in the city for the night, as she was traveling to meet a transgender friend, Toya Milan. Toya believes that prostitution played a role in Jazz's death; implying Alford was an escort, however reports state that Alford worked as a reservation agent for U.S. Airways.

Jazz was found dead on the floor in her motel room, shot multiple times. On May 5, 2017 twenty-two-year old, Denzell Thomas was indicted for the murder of Alford as well as attempted murder and first-degree robbery in another case, most likely of another transgender victim, who survived.

According to an anonymous friend, Jazz traveled a lot; enjoying visiting Atlanta, Georgia and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania the most. She was also a very spiritual person who enjoyed to sing.
