"Fatally shot"??? Murdered. She was murdered. Wtf is that headline?

Liability. He hasn't been convicted so they are being as factually correct as they can be.

On the other hand, if the headline read, "Boyfriend accused of murdering transgender performer Quanesha 'Cocoa' Shantel", that would also be OK as long as he was charged with it -- which, in this case, he was.
