Family and friends of Michelle Avan plan to rally in front of the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office in a last-ditch effort for justice against her killer
On the morning of August 5, 2021, the body of Michelle Avan was found in her home by her son brutally beaten to death. What Trevon and Nyah Avan, would soon come to know is their mother died at the hands of an intimate partner. The family of Michelle Avan will host the 1st Annual Michelle Movement Walk in Your Light 5K Walk/Run to honor her legacy and shine a light on Intimate Partner Homicide. In addition, the Michelle Movement is increasing public awareness of District Attorney George Gascóns blanket policies that undermine the ability of the DA’s office to prosecute perpetrators of Intimate Partner Homicide to the full extent of the law.
Death is tragic, but when it is someone you know it is even more devastating. I along with many others are still in shock after hearing about the senseless murder of Michelle Avan. This shining light and rising star was murdered.
