Song lived with their partner and codefendant, Joy Gibson (Rowan). They had four cats, who have since been housed with family and friends.
Champagne gave themselves fully to their community with love, duty, and devotion. They fed the unhoused population of Oak Cliff and provided training in first aid. They also taught a weekly queer self defense class.
Song had steady, full-time employment but has since lost their job and their apartment.
Their bond is set at $15 million.
