Over three years after Pebbles LaDime "Dime" Doe was found dead, the Department of Justice unsealed charges against two men involved in her murder.
The five-count federal indictment alleges that Daqua Ritter, 26, shot Doe on Aug. 4, 2019, "because of her actual and perceived gender identity." Ritter faces the maximum penalty of life imprisonment for the hate crime count alone. He also faces charges related to lying about his whereabouts on the day of the murder to federal investigators.
According to the Human Rights Campaign, Doe's death marked the second murder of a transgender woman in South Carolina within a month that summer. On July 20, 2019, Denali Berries Stuckey was killed in North Charleston. Both Stuckey and Doe were black transgender women.
