"The alleged shooting death of a transgender woman in Richmond, Virginia, has her heartbroken family joining with police in a search for answers.

Chae’Meshia Simms died from an apparent gunshot and was pronounced dead at the scene after a call reporting that a car had crashed into an alleyway just before 6 a.m. on Nov. 23, police said.

A family member said Simms, who was in her 30s, was found behind the wheel of her mother's rental vehicle, reports WTVR.

Police have not identified a motive, and an official determination of Simms' cause and manner of death is pending the results of an autopsy.

Whoever pulled the trigger, "I ask 'em to turn yourself in," Simms' father said at a vigil Friday, according to WTVR. "We're never going to stop looking."

Ok, I'm not knocking on the death of the lady, but if you are going to change your life, your gender and lastly your name, so you aren't called by your "dead name", I honestly think I would come up with something other than Chae'Meshia.
How in the hell do you even pronounce that?
