Investigation continues in shooting of Phoenix transgender woman

Police are continuing to investigate the shooting of a Phoenix transgender woman earlier this month.

Kandis Capri, 35, was found by police with a gunshot wound near an apartment complex parking lot near 45th Avenue and Thomas Road the night of Aug. 11.

Capri was transported to a local hospital where she later died of her injuries, police said.

The motive of the shooting is still "unclear," according to police, but Capri's vehicle was towed from the complex a few minutes before the shooting occurred.

Witnesses said they saw a Black man leave the area on foot, but no other suspect information was available.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call Phoenix Police Department's Violent Crimes Bureau at 602-262-6141 or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS.
