EAST HOLLYWOOD (CBSLA.com) Newly obtained security camera footage is providing detectives with new leads into the killing of a transgender woman in East Hollywood.
The footage, obtained from an auto body shop, shows the three suspects, whom police described as three Latino men in their 20s, walking on Melrose near Kenmore avenues around 3 a.m. Thursday.
Moments later, the victim is seen heading in the same direction. She was described as a transgender woman in her mid-40s.
The suspects are then seen confronting the woman before allegedly taking her purse. As the woman runs across the street, she is shot in the head, according to KCAL9s Peter Daut.
The victim, clearly wounded, stumbles across the street and collapses on the sidewalk. Minutes later and after the suspects took off, a bystander stops to help, but its too late...
