Police arrested two suspects in Charlotte, North Carolina on Friday that are believed to be connected to two shooting deaths of Black transgender women.
Jaida Peterson, 29, was found dead on April 4 at a Quality Inn & Suites Airport hotel, just a little over a week before Remy Fennell, 28, was discovered dead at the Sleep Inn University Place on April 15. The striking similarities in the two separate incidents led investigators to suspect a transphobic serial killer may have been at large.
