Transgender Documentary Star Koko Da Doll Fatally Shot in Atlanta

Rasheeda Williams, a transgender woman featured in a documentary about Black transgender sex workers, was fatally shot in Atlanta this week. Williams, who performed under the name Koko Da Doll, was the third transgender woman to be killed in the city this year. While investigators have not indicated that the homicides were related to gender identity, advocacy groups have called for greater safety and acceptance for transgender people. The documentary, Kokomo City, has received praise for its unapologetic approach to the subject.
