The former Pittsfield resident and transgender activist was murdered Sunday in Boston. The vigil is being organized by Berkshire Pride, her former workplace the Elizabeth Freeman Center, and Christopher Liljeholm, who has been involved in Berkshire Pride events. Jahaira was a one of a kind, and just so special, said Helen Moon, the center s development and communications coordinator and Ward 1 councilor. The Berkshire community and the LGBTQ-plus community, we re not the only ones that have a significant loss, I really believe that just the community at large, we are all at a loss for having lost Jahaira. DeAlto, 42, and Fatima Yasin, 27, were reportedly stabbed to death in DeAlto s Dorchester home. Yasin s husband, Marcus Chavis, 34, was arrested in the murders.
