ATLANTA — A transgender woman was found shot and killed at an apartment complex on Fairburn Road Tuesday morning, according to Atlanta Police.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office identified the person killed as a 37-year-old.
Right now, details are very limited. The police captain did, however, confirm that this was a domestic-related shooting.
Officers said they were called to City Park Apartments just before 4:30 a.m. and found the victim in the breezeway.
In addition, the words "Get Well King Rick" were seen freshly spray painted on the building police tapped off. However, it is not yet known if that is related to the homicide.
