North Carolina Transgender Woman Chanel Scurlock Fatally Shot
-------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, reports emerged Friday of the murder of 23-year-old Chanel
Scurlock, a black transgender woman in North Carolina. She was fatally
shot last Wednesday, and her body was discovered by police in a field.
Friends told local media Scurlock was on her way to meet someone over a
disputed Facebook post and that they feared the encounter could be
dangerous. Scurlock is the ninth known case of deadly violence against
black transgender women in 2019.
