Jean Powell

Jean was shot in the back. She was one of several trans women killed in Atlanta that year.

In 1991, Woodrow "Jean" Powell, 33, a chemist, was found shot in the back in the 300 block of Ashby Street; Hurriell Lockett, 28, was found shot near Ash- by Street; and Ronnie Dean Lyles, 30, a well-known female impersonator, was found shot in the head beside Interstate 85 in DeKalb County.

As of last month, police had not solved any of the cases or confirmed any connection be tween them. A different caliber weapon was used in each of the first four slayings. https://indystar.newspapers.com/article/the-atlanta-journal-derry-glenn-anthony/136529517/
