“I’m getting tired of the heartbreak. Tired of needing to organize to convince people that our lives matter.” Furthermore, “To the killer…I will NOT say your name. To Nia…we will shout yours from the rooftops!!!”

Both Common and Elis Ross showed support by retweeting a tribute video, originally shared by Chicago rapper Chika Oranika.

Songstress Janelle Monáe also chimed in on the movement with an Instagram post featuring an illustration of the slain woman. The caption read “Your name means something to us and we won’t stop saying it.”

Kehlani joined the movement taking to Twitter she wrote:

“Sending so much love to people born and raised in the bay area before this new wave of hate, racism, and gentrification… shits almost unrecognizable sometimes. Can’t afford to live here anymore THEN risk being murdered by racist white folks who ain’t from here to begin with?”

With her accused killer in custody, the process of justice is now underway.
