Memphis Police say 20-year-old Rodney Whitaker may have been murdered because of his sexuality, but caution they are exploring every possible motive.
Friends say Whitaker worked as a transgendered prostitute. He was dressed as a woman when he was found shot to death Tuesday near Lamar and Old Getwell. Police believe Whitaker had been working in the area Monday night.
Local activists say they would not be at all surprised if Whitaker was targeted because he was transgendered.
