A transgender woman was found fatally shot at an apartment complex in southwest Atlanta. 37-year-old Ashley Burton was found at the Elite at City Park apartments on Fairburn Road on Tuesday morning, according to 11 Alive.
Officers said they were called at 4:22am and found the victim on the breezeway outside the unit. Police believe the victim was shot inside an apartment and collapsed where she was found.
Police believe it was a domestic-related shooting. “She ran out of the house, hollering and screaming, beating on doors,” Burton’s cousin, Ivory Carter, told 11 Alive. “This got to be personal.
You shot her in her house, then you followed her outside and shot her.” Burton was reportedly a hairstylist and makeup artist.
