Williams, 35, who performed under the name Koko Da Doll, was killed on Tuesday evening at a shopping center in the south-west of the city. It was the third fatal shooting of a transgender woman in the city since the beginning of the year, Atlanta police said in a statement.

While the Atlanta police have not publicly identified Williams, her identity was confirmed by D Smith, the director of Kokomo City, the documentary that chronicled the lives of Williams and other trans women.

In an interview with Variety, Smith, who is transgender and a Grammy-winning music producer for artists like Lil Wayne, André 3000 and Billy Porter, said she was grateful to see the reception to her film and the lives it documents.
