A 45-year-old transgender woman shot and killed Friday will be remembered for her devotion to hair styling and being a loving and caring partner and friend, despite battling drug addiction for most of her life, her longtime partner said.
Phylicia Mitchell died Friday after being shot in the chest about 6 p.m. outside her home on West 112th Street near Detroit Avenue, in the city's Edgewater neighborhood.
She is the first transgender person killed in Cleveland since Brandi Bledsoe in October 2016. There were 23 transgender people killed that year in the U.S. and 28 in 2017, according to the Human Rights Campaign.
