A trans woman of color was shot and killed in New Orleans on Saturday night, the fifth reported homicide of a trans woman this year.

Chyna Doll Dupree—who was also known as Chyna Gibson—was found dead in the parking lot outside of a clothing store around 8:30 p.m. reports The Times-Picayune. Neighbors told the police they heard between eight and ten gunshots.

Dupree was a popular drag performer who toured around the country. She was currently living in California, but she came home to New Orleans to celebrate Mardi Gras with her family. "She was just a really good person," said her friend. "Everyone loved her. This is unnecessary."

Another woman who asked to remain anonymous told the New Orleans newspaper that Dupree was her niece and that she identified as a trans woman. "A very loving person," the woman said. "She didn't do nothing to nobody."

Friends took to Facebook to share their grief over her passing:

“I remember when I 1st met her at Bayou City, she embraced me with a hug & from that day on, when I was out and she saw me, she would stop me and ask ‘Oh, so you’re not hugging the doll tonight?’ I can’t begin to say how much this hurts to know u were taken so tragically. My heart breaks as this community must find a way to honor you in death and begin to move forward.”

Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson also released a statement:

"The senseless murder of our trans sisters and brothers is something we simply cannot continue to ignore. I offer my deepest condolences to her friends and family. We say your name #ChynaGibson. In times like this it is important to remember that we are each other’s keeper and if we don’t protect and celebrate each other it becomes a disservice to us all. Your lives matter."

A candlelight vigil will be held for Dupree in Dallas, TX on Feb 27.

"We send our heartfelt condolences to her biological family and chosen family throughout Texas and around the country," organizers of the event wrote on Facebook. "In times like this it is important to remember that we are each other’s keeper and if we don’t protect and celebrate each other it becomes a disservice to us all."
