Jacksonville, FL — A man has been arrested for shooting of a transgender woman in the Moncrief area early last month.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office says 35-year-old Cory Fisher-Thompson is charged with attempted murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. We’re working to learn more about those charges.

JSO says Fisher-Thompson and the victim knew each other, and had been in an on again-off again relationship for two years. Police say they had a dispute, which led to the shooting.

The shooting happened on W 29th Street on June 8th. The victim’s injuries were not life threatening.

This year alone, there have been three transgender women fatally shot in Jacksonville, and this incident marked the fourth attack overall on transgender victims.
