MILWAUKEE — Cashay Henderson, a Black transgender woman fatally shot in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is remembered by her family as"a jokester,""independent,""unapologetic," and someone who"walks to the beat of her own drum."
Henderson, 31, was found dead on Sunday when the Milwaukee Fire Department responded to a fire at the building. Her death is being investigated as a homicide, officials say, after she was found with a fatal gunshot injury.

"The continued attacks by right-wing elected officials to remove safety and rights for trans people are causing an increase in vitriol and hatred toward people of Trans experience. We call for an immediate halt to the hateful rhetoric and the dangerous bills that are written as a result of transphobia and lies," the statement read.Henderson's hometown of Chicago has also long been plagued by violence against transgender people, activists have told ABC News.
