CoCo Chanel Wortham, 44, was fatally shot in a Dallas homeless encampment on the night of August 7, 2021. Known as Miss CoCo, she was a visible member of the downtown encampment community and described by friends as a master cosmetologist who was giving and kind. She was originally from Kansas City, Kansas.

Officers responded about 10:08 p.m. to a shooting in the 500 block of Park Avenue. Wortham was found with gunshot wounds, taken to a hospital, and later died. A silver sedan was seen fleeing westbound on Marilla Street, and police have released surveillance images of that vehicle while investigating the death as a potential hate crime. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced.

Her death was one of many violent deaths of transgender or gender non-conforming people in 2021 and drew attention from LGBTQ and homelessness advocates. Does anyone with information about the silver sedan, the encampment that night, or Miss CoCo’s movements that evening have details to share?
