Thirty-five-year-old Kelly Stough was
fatally shot in Detroit by former pastor Albert Weathers, the 24th killing of a transgender person in America this year.
Weathers,
46, appeared in court Monday, where his bond was set at $1 million. He
was arraigned on charges of open murder and the use of a firearm in the
commission of a felony.
On
Dec. 7, police say Stough, 36, and Weathers came into contact with
another, though details remain unclear. Stough was found dead the
morning after. Weathers, who was listed a pastor at a nearby church from
1997 to 1999 and rented space in a local church for a small
congregation until his arrest, fled the scene shortly thereafter.
Investigators have yet to reveal a motive or any other details. A source
told local
ABC affiliate WXYZ that Weathers fled the scene and clocked into work
before alerting police that he had shot a would-be thief.
