> Investigators in San Francisco are still trying to figure out whether the
> killing of a transgender woman was a hate crime.
>
> People living in the Bayview neighborhood joined the transgender community
> to remember Toni Green.
>
> The 45-year-old was found beaten to death more than a week ago at the
> Franciscan Motel.
>
> Green was born male but lived as a woman. Friends and relatives believe
> that's why she was killed.
>
> Dede Knighten is a transgender advocate, "I was Toni's friend. I'm
> transgender as Toni was and I don't feel it's right for anyone to have to
> end their life the way he/she did," said Knighten.
>
> Police haven't identified any suspects in the case.
