Transgender woman found shot to death in car at Arlington apartment complex, police say

A transgender woman was found fatally shot Thursday night at an Arlington apartment complex, police said.

Arlington police said in a news release that officers found the 21-year-old transgender woman in a car, and homicide detectives did not believe the victim lived at the apartment complex.

Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office records identified the victim as Kier Laprice Solomon, with a home address in Dallas.

Arlington police have no suspect information and have not determined a motive for the killing.

Police responded to a call at the complex shortly after 9:30 p.m. Thursday in the 1100 block of Stonetrail Circle in Arlington.

A resident reported finding an unresponsive person in a car that was parked at the complex.

When they arrived, police found the victim with a gunshot wound. She was taken to a local hospital and was pronounced dead.

Detectives are canvassing the neighborhood seeking witnesses and surveillance video, and speaking to friends and family of the victim.

Anyone with information should call Arlington police at 817-459-6466. Tipsters can also remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers of Tarrant County at 817-469-8477.
