The victim is conscious and breathing, according to D.C. Police spokesperson Alice Kim. While police are investigating the crime, it is unclear whether the victim’s gender identity was a motive.

In mid-July, 22-year-old Deeniquia Dodds, a transgender woman shot on the 4th of July, died of her injuries. Advocates accused D.C. Police of waiting too long to disclose Dodds’ shooting.

She was the first transgender murder victim in the District since 2012, when Deoni Jones was stabbed at a Metro bus stop in Northeast.

An estimated 14,550 people in D.C. identify as transgender, or 2.77 percent of the population, a study by UCLA’s Williams Institute found.
