ATLANTA — A teenager has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a Black transgender woman in Atlanta, police said.
Officers responded to reports of a woman suffering from a gunshot wound at a shopping plaza on April 18. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
Williams, aka Koko Da Doll, was also featured in"Kokomo City," a documentary about Black transgender sex workers in Georgia and New York that won awards at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Jernigan turned himself in to police on Wednesday and was later transported to the Fulton County Jail and taken into their custody without incident, the Atlanta Police Department said. It is unclear if he has an attorney who can speak on his behalf.
The fatal shooting is one of three"violent crimes" against transgender women that Atlanta police said they are currently investigating.
