And 'At least I sent the last love you to my brother.'

Police have not identified any suspects or established a motive, and they don't know yet whether there's any connection to the slaying of another transgender woman last month.

Cops are still searching for the person who murdered Kandy Hall, who was stabbed to death in early June.

Investigators also say they are looking back at cases that are several years old to see if there are any similarities with this latest murder, but they aren't saying how Henderson was murdered. 

'We do know that there was trauma to the body to indicate that there was a homicide,' Major Dennis Smith of the Baltimore City police told WJZ.

A broken necklace and a pool of blood remain in the alley where police found Henderson's body.

Bullock is heading into his second season with the Clippers. He was a first-round draft pick last year out of the University of North Carolina.

What sad story :| Why on Earth would someone rage like that over another person's choice to live their life the way they see fit? Violent people just need to be euthanized. This world has no room for them.
