Police are investigating the murder of a transgender woman overnight in Philadelphia.
Police say 22-year-old Kiesha Jenkins, of North Philadelphia, was dropped off on the 1300 block of Wingohocking Street around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday. As she got out of the vehicle she was approached by at least five men who began to attack and beat her, according to investigators. After Jenkins fell to the ground, one of the men pulled out a gun and fired two shots, police said.
Jenkins was struck twice in the back as the suspects fled the scene. She was taken to the hospital where she was later pronounced dead.
Police say it's too early to determine whether or not the incident was a hate crime.
