In the new Netflix documentary “The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson” the trans trailblazer’s friends and allies secure her place in history and re-investigate her mysterious death, which police ruled as a suicide. 

Nettles, a Black trans woman, was just 21 years old when Davis fatally assaulted her.

James Dixon will likely be sentenced to 12 years in exchange for admitting that he fatally assaulted the trans woman.

James Dixon told detectives in 2013 that he doesn’t “go around gay bashing people.” He pleaded not guilty to first- and second-degree manslaughter charges and a first-degree assault charge in the death of the trans woman.
