Family honors life of transgender woman killed in shooting

A Milwaukee family is honoring the life of a transgender woman killed over the weekend in a shooting on the city's northwest side.

The shooting happened Sunday morning near 89th and Dogwood.

Family identified the victim as 30-year-old Chyna Long. Investigators continue to search for a suspect and have not named a motive in the homicide.

On Thursday, family and friends of Chyna huddled under hoods and umbrellas to honor what they call her infectious energy.

“To know this was done to her, they truly don’t understand what they've done to our family,” said Long’s aunt, Alissa Davenport. “They took a piece of our joy.”
