The man yelled homophobic slurs at the woman before shooting her, according to the arrest affidavit.

Dallas police have identified the man they think is responsible for the Friday night shooting of a transgender woman in northwest Dallas.

Police say that Friday night, 29-year-old Domingo Ramirez-Cavente was driving when he saw Rony Calderon walking along the 11000 block of Dennis Road shortly after 11 o'clock. Ramirez-Cavente "began speaking derogatorily of gay and transgender people," according to the affidavit.

Calderon walked away and headed to a bus stop to wait for a bus, the affidavit says. Then Ramirez-Cavente drove his truck to the bus stop and shot Calderon multiple times, according to the affidavit.

Calderon was taken to a local hospital and underwent surgery. She is still in the hospital.

On Sunday, Dallas police said they would be investigating the shooting as a hate crime and put out an alert for Ramirez-Cavente's late-model four-door, red Chevrolet truck with large aftermarket rims.

Dallas police found Ramirez-Cavente and arrested him on traffic charges. During his interview, he waived his Miranda rights and admitted to shooting Calderon.

Ramirez-Cavente has been charged with aggravated assault. He is currently in jail and awaits a bond to be set by the magistrate.
