Suspect named in shooting death of transgender female

Police have identified a suspect in the November shooting death of a transgender female who was found on a Nashville driveway.

Mallory Antoine Porter, 18, of Brookway Drive is wanted for the shooting of 'Gizzy' Fowler, 24.

Fowler identified as a transgender female known as Gizzy, according to a statement from the Tennessee Transgender Political Coalition after the shooting. Fowler was found beside her Buick Lacrosse in the driveway of an unoccupied home in the 3900 block of Lunn Drive on Nov. 12.

Phone records revealed Fowler had traveled to the area to meet an individual, which police believe was Porter based on forensic evidence.

Detectives believe Porter lied about his involvement when he was interviewed about the murder during the course of the investigation. A warrant charging Porter with criminal homicide has been issued.
