Mya died from gunshot wounds. Before she died she was able to tell police where she met her killer and what kind of vehicle he drives.

Clayton Hubbird, 31, has been charged with reckless homicide and is being sought by police.

MILWAUKEE - Regina Allen, 35, of Milwaukee, known by friends as Mya, was fatally shot Aug. 29 near 26th and Wells. Police are looking for the man they say killed the transgender woman.

A friend described Allen as full of laughter and joy. Through Facebook, Allen's friend said she will be missed, and loved ones can't believe this happened. A growing memorial sits at 26th and Wells as police search for her killer. Police say that man is Clayton Hubbird, 31.

On Aug. 29, according to prosecutors, Hubbird went into a gas station off 19th and National. Surveillance video shows Hubbird and Allen had a brief conversation inside before Hubbird got back into his Chevy Tahoe. Eventually, according to police, Allen hopped into the passenger's seat.

Things took a turn when Hubbird and Allen reached her apartment near 26th and Wells. A witness told police he saw a black SUV and two people arguing, heard a gunshot and Allen screamed, "I'm shot."

Allen called 911. Police say before Allen died, she told an officer she met the man who shot her at a gas station, and he drove a Chevy Tahoe. A criminal complaint says security video from the gas station, a witness and police checking the Tahoe's license plate linked Hubbird to the crime.

The SUV was found in Wauwatosa Aug. 30. Prosecutors say someone at the home where it was found identified it as Hubbird's vehicle. A search of Hubbird's bedroom revealed ammunition and firearm magazines. Allen's friend said she would've celebrated her 36th birthday on Sept. 20.

Hubbird was subsequently arrested and charged with first degree reckless homicide.

Mya was a member of Sisters Helping Each Other Battle Adversity (SHEBA), a local advocacy, empowerment, and support group for Black transgender women. She was a also a fan of professional basketball and football, and a Christian. Her Facebook profile is https://www.facebook.com/mya.allen.14.
