“Detectives are out there right now following up on leads that have been coming in since then,” he said.
It is not currently clear what the motive was behind Dangerfield’s murder and whether or not she was targeted because she is transgender.
“At this time we don’t have anything that’s telling us that, but we’re not ruling out any possible motive,” Patterson said.
Thus far, at least 16 transgender people have been murdered in the United States alone this year.
