Kiesha Jenkins, a 22-year-old African-American transgender woman, was shot and killed on October 6, 2015, at about 2:30 a.m. after being attacked at the intersection of 13th and Wingohocking streets in Philadelphia. Witnesses say she was set upon by a group of men after exiting a vehicle; she was shot twice in the back, taken to a hospital, and later died of her injuries.

Police investigated the killing as a robbery rather than a hate crime, saying the attackers may have believed Jenkins was carrying money. Philadelphia authorities arrested 24-year-old Pedro Redding and charged him with murder, conspiracy, and weapons offenses; investigators reported Redding admitted to participating in the plan as a lookout and identified three other people he said were involved, while denying he fired the shots.

Did anyone in the Philadelphia area who knew Kiesha or saw activity near 13th and Wingohocking that night come forward with information?
