PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia Police said Monday they have arrested one man for the murder of transgender woman Kiesha Jenkins, and the investigation’s lead officer tells The Daily Beast that three more arrests are “imminent.”

 
Last Tuesday, Jenkins was shot to death in north Philadelphia after being assaulted by a group of four men. Police say Jenkins, 22, was a “high-earner” prostitute who sought clients in the area she was killed. Jenkins is the second transgender woman murdered in the city this year and by some counts the 20th murdered nationwide. According to the Philadelphia Police Department, there have been 212 homicides in the city this year as of October 11.
