'Abducted' 21-year-old trans man Alex Franco found shot dead in Utah desert

The body of a 21-year-old trans man, Alex Franco, has been found in a remote part of the Utah desert. He was reportedly abducted on 18 March

The body of a 21-year-old transgender man, Alex Franco, has been found in a “remote desert area in Utah County,” close to the city of Lehi. It’s believed that Franco died from a single gunshot, however police say they are waiting on a coroner’s report. Taylorsville Police, who are investigating, said that two teenagers aged 15 and 17 have been arrested and charged with “multiple felony charges” in relation to what they are treating as a possible homicide.

Despite being properly gendered and named by his family, some news reports seem to be using his deadname.

His family described him as "an athletic, cheerful man with a big heart." Pgh Lesbian Correspondents has more information on his life. You can donate to the family here to help them pay for his funeral.
