Around 100 members of the Black Pink Triangle Association in Izmir, Turkey, staged a candlelight vigil April 28 following the killing of transgender member Azra.
Azra "was murdered by a gunshot to the back of her head...in what seems to be a serial murder," said Hossein Alizadeh of the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission.
"Turkish authorities believe that the murder weapon used in this case was the same that took the lives of two other transgender people in Izmir," he said.
