Transgender woman Laura Schuler, 47, was shot and killed in Evanston, Ohio, on Saturday morning.

Police say that Schuler was found dead at the scene after responding to a report of a shooting that came in at approximately 6:50 a.m. from the 1500 block of Jonathan Avenue.

Family and friends held a candle light vigil in her memory Satuday night. They described her as a beloved member of the community and hoped the person who murdered her would be brought to justice quickly.

"I'm hurt, I'm devastated," Curtis Johnson, a friend of Schuler's, said. "This has to stop, I'm almost 50, and I go to more funerals for LGBTQIA+ people, more than I ever imagined in my life."

"With her being a trans woman, I just feel like this is crazy during Pride Month. No time is right, but it hurts even more for it to be during pride time," Tyson Carter, another friend of Schuler's, said at the vigil.

Laura Schuler is the 11th trans person murdered in the US this year.
