A recent rash of shootings — and the mysterious death of a man dressed in women's clothes — has the transgender community on edge, with at least one activist describing the situation as a "crisis."
In the most recent incident, detectives with the D.C. police Homicide Branch have identified a man found dead early Saturday morning, Sept. 10, on the 2600 block of 11th Street, N.W. that investigators initially believed to be a transgender person.
