CHARLOTTE — After news spread of the shooting death of a transgender Charlottean in early April (see "Info sought in Charlotte transgender murder" and "CMPD liaison conversations are needed), some community members raised concerns regarding the resulting media coverage and relationship with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police.

Roberta Dunn, who is transgender, first heard of Toni Alston's death after local news reports of a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) press conference regarding the investigation made it into her inbox. Some of the first reports were vague on details.
