A West Price Hill man was indicted Wednesday for murder in the killing of a transgender person.

Quamar Edwards, 25, is accused of the June 26 fatal shooting of Deandre Edwards.

A sanitation worker found Deandre Edwards' body near Tuxedo Place and May Street in Walnut Hills. Deandre Edwards was pronounced dead at the scene.

Edwards admitted to picking up the victim for sex, but backed out, according to a police report. The two then argued and Quamar shot the victim before leaving with Deandre Edwards' purse, police said.

Edwards also was indicted in the same case for aggravated robbery, felonious assault, tampering with evidence and a weapons charge.
