These tragic deaths, including Hollis, have been Hollis, Sophie Vasquez, Bianca ‘Muffin’ Bankz, Bonaire ‘Bonnie’ Black, and Kimberly Patricia Cope.
Hollis’ death occurred on May 8 after the Orlando native was violently shot and killed at point-blank range in the back of the head.
Serenity’s mother, Robyn Osberry, commented on her daughter’s passing: “The person that’s responsible has no idea what they took from us…I absolutely want to see that justice is served.”
