MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee police are still looking for who shot and killed a 23-year-old on Friday morning, Feb. 21.
It happened around 12:30 a.m. near 95th and Brown Deer.
No arrests have been made.
Family members identify her as Amyri Dior. They said she was transgender. And while no one is in custody, they think that had something to do with her death.
"No matter who she came in contact with, she was always a good soul. I just don’t understand why," cousin Jakiala Jenkins said. "She was always truthful with her life. She was just too loving."
One person is dead following a shooting in Milwaukee on Friday morning. Feb. 21.
It's not clear what led up to that shooting. That's why Dior's friends, cousins and family are sharing a message of love on Sunday night.
"Live in the truth y’all," said Dior’s mother. "I just want to tell everybody to live in the truth. It doesn’t matter who you are, just open up, be an open book, so your family can know who you are and be able to love you for who you are."
Loved ones say Dior loved to dance and sing. But most of all, she was herself.
"We just need some type of understanding, of closure," [her mother] said. "We just want all trans [people] to stay safe. Know that you are loved."
