Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea discussed the horrific loss of Los Angeles Lakers star Reggie Bullock’s transgender sister.
Flea said, “Tell ‘ em Reggie.”
Reggie said, “My sister was the backbone of my family. … My sister was the one that pretty much was my guardian.”
Following the tragic murder of his transgender sister, Mia Henderson, Reggie Bullock has dedicated his life and his platform to standing up for LGBTQ+ rights.
The Huffington Post reported in 2014:
Police found the body of Mia Henderson, 26, at about 6 a.m. Wednesday in an alley known as “a hot spot for prostitution” in northeast Baltimore, according to the Baltimore Sun. They say she died of “severe trauma.”
“We do know that there was trauma to the body to indicate that there was a homicide,” Major Dennis Smith with Baltimore City police said, per CBS affiliate WJZ.
A neighbor told the Baltimore Sun she believes she saw the victim and her killer go down the alleyway together, the Baltimore Sun reports. She said the man had offered Henderson $10 for a “date,” but Henderson declined.
WJZ confirmed Henderson was related to Los Angeles Clippers player Reggie Bullock.
Police have not identified a suspect or a motive in the case, according to the Associated Press. They do not know if Henderson’s murder is connected with the murder of another transgender woman who was killed in Baltimore in June.
