Baltimore police say 26-year-old Mia Henderson was found dead early Wednesday morning in an alley in northwest Baltimore.

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.

“We do know that there was trauma to the body to indicate that there was a homicide,” said Major Dennis Smith of the Baltimore City police, reported WJZ-TV.

Bullock tweeted about the loss of his sibling, whom he referred to as his “brother”.
