Dozens gathered in Andersonville Sunday evening to pay tribute to Elise Malary, a 31-year-old trans activist who was found dead along the Evanston lakefront after being reported missing a week earlier.
“Her love shines through,” said Nat Vikitsreth, a friend of Malary’s. “She is community, she is love embodiment; she always brings people together and lights up the room with her smile. She’s just so fierce.”
