A 26-year-old Black trans woman was found dead over the weekend in White Rock Lake near Dallas, Texas.

The victim, identified as Chynal Lindsey, was discovered by a passerby June 1, according to Dallas Police. CBS News reports that the Texas woman's body showed "obvious signs of homicidal violence." A report from The Washington Post states the woman's body was floating when a game warden pulled her from the waters.

“We are concerned,” Dallas Police Chief U. Reneé Hall told reporters on Monday. “We are actively and aggressively investigating this case, and we have reached out to our federal partners to assist in these efforts.”  

At the moment, there is very little information regarding the victim's killing. No suspects have been named and there is no evidence suggesting the act was motivated by hate. Furthermore, there is no timeline for Lindsey's death.

Lindsey's murder is the third of a recent string of attacks on Black trans women.

Dating back to October of last year, three trans women were murdered in Dallas. The victim of the Oct. 21 fatal shooting was 29-year-old Brittany White. She was fatally shot in a parked car in somewhere near southeast Dallas.

Muhlaysia Booker, 23, was killed in late May. Booker was the victim of a brutal mob attack caught on video in April, just weeks before her death.

Activists in the Dallas area speculate the murders could be connected in a possible murder spree. However, police are not convinced.

Activist Carmarion D. Anderson of Black Transwomen, Inc., told WFAA that the continued murder of trans women indicates trans women are not safe to be themselves.

“My heart is heavy. Who is going to be next?” Anderson said. "We're in a crisis right now, and the crisis is are we safe to walk the block to the park? To walk our animals? To go to the store? To get gas? It's very scary."

Family members are working with investigators to track down the culprit. They told local outlets they can't understand why someone would kill such a loving, peaceful person.

"It's devastating,” a cousin told WFAA. "This was a person that I had never seen mad … I just can't see anyone hurting [her]."

“[She] was just smiling, smiling, smiling ‘cause [she] was so excited to see us,” another cousin told CBS 11 of the last time she saw Lindsey.

Dallas Police will work with the FBI to see if the recent slayings of Black trans women are connected. The FBI will also assist if any federal civil rights violations are determined.

The Human Rights Campaign reported there were approximately 26 trans women murders. Tragically, the majority of the crimes involved Black trans women.
