**Cassidy Karakorn, director of consumer marketing at the Human Rights Campaign**, was killed in a scooter crash on Florida Avenue in Northeast Washington on Saturday night.

“Cassidy was a vibrant and energetic force for change in the world. Her talents were boundless. Her creative genius and passion were unmatched,” the Human Rights Campaign said in a statement.

“She was definitely a bright star among H Street, Trinidad and our surrounding neighborhoods,” friend Jason Skipworth said. “We’ll definitely miss her, and we give our prayers to her family.”
