A young man dressed as a woman was fatally shot in a Fort Lauderdale neighborhood known for transvestite prostitution early Friday.
Simmie L. Williams spent much of Thursday looking after his 1-year-old nephew, Jamar. He cooked dinner for his mom and told her he was going out to meet some friends.
Denise King said goodbye to her son – for the last time.
Shortly after 1 a.m. Friday, King’s daughter received a call from the hospital.
Williams, 17, had been shot dead at the corner of Sistrunk Boulevard (Northwest Sixth Street) and 10th Avenue.
