A transgender woman was found fatally shot at an apartment complex in southwest Atlanta.
37-year-old Ashley Burton was found at the Elite at City Park apartments on Fairburn Road on Tuesday morning, according to 11 Alive. Officers said they were called at 4:22am and found the victim on the breezeway outside the unit. Police believe the victim was shot inside an apartment and collapsed where she was found.
Police believe it was a domestic-related shooting.
“She ran out of the house, hollering and screaming, beating on doors,” Burton’s cousin, Ivory Carter, told 11 Alive. “This got to be personal. You shot her in her house, then you followed her outside and shot her.”
Burton was reportedly a hairstylist and makeup artist. Carter remembers her a “sweetheart.”
“She was a very sweet young lady,” Burton’s best friend told Fox 5. “She was very full of life really. It was always smiles and laughs with us whenever we work together.”
Anyone with information that could help the investigation is urged to call the Atlanta Police Department at 404-577-8477. Homicide detectives are investigating the murder, but no suspects have yet been identified by police. Carter told 11 Alive that she hopes Burton receives justice.
“I’m tired of all these incidents with transgender women just being pushed up under the rug,” she said. “We are human beings.”

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Perhaps one of the biggest surprises in film and television last year was Liam Neeson’s cameo appearance on “Atlanta.” The actor appeared in the fourth season episode “New Jazz” and poked fun at his 2019 racism controversy. The actor ignited outrage on his “Cold Pursuit” press tour in February 2019 after revealing his past reaction to a friend’s sexual assault. Neeson’s friend was sexually assaulted by a Black man, so Neeson took to the streets with a weapon and hoped a “Black bastard” would “come out of a pub and have a go at me…so that I could, kill him.” In a new interview with GQ magazine, “Atlanta” creator Donald Glover opened up for the first time about recruiting Neeson for an episode that mocked the actor’s racism controversy. Glover wrote the episode himself.
