Transgender woman shot, killed in US weeks after assault

A transgender woman has died after being fatally shot in Dallas, Texas.

23-year-old Muhlaysia Booker was found dead on a street and police are investigating the case as homicidal violence.

It is unclear if her shooting was a hate crime or motivated by retaliation.

Last month, Ms Booker was assaulted during a traffic accident which was filmed and shared on social media.

Dallas police have decline to comment on whether she received any death threats before the shooting.
