I’m horrified about Kokomo City star Koko Da Doll, 35, having been shot and killed last Tuesday in Atlanta. Variety‘s Angelique Jackson reported her death last night (4.20).
The immediate assumption, of course, is that Koko (aka Rasheeda Williams) may have been killed by a hate-crimer, but no one seems to know what actually happened so let’s see how the story unfolds. Obviously a terrible tragedy. Hugs and condolences to friends, fans, colleagues.
Atlanta cops are saying Koko was found with a gunshot wound in Southwest Atlanta shortly before 11 p.m. eastern on Tuesday.
Directed by D. Smith, Kokomo City is a feature-length doc about four trans sex workers living in Atlanta and New York City — Koko, Daniella Carter, Liyah Mitchell and Dominique Silver — as they confront the dichotomy between the Black community and themselves, as well as the persistent threat of violence they face each day.”
