MILWAUKEE — Cashay Henderson, a Black transgender woman fatally shot in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is remembered by her family as"a jokester,""independent,""unapologetic," and someone who"walks to the beat of her own drum."
Henderson, 31, was found dead on Sunday when the Milwaukee Fire Department responded to a fire at the building.
