Tony Saffore, known to friends as T.T., was found dead with his throat slit Sunday night in the West Garfield Park neighborhood, according to authorities.
The body was discovered with a neck laceration about 8:45 p.m. in the 4500 block of West Monroe, according to Chicago Police. A knife was found nearby.
The victim was identified as the 28-year-old Saffore, of the 7100 block of South Yates, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. An autopsy found he died of multiple stab and incise wounds, and his death was ruled a homicide.
Police and medical examiner's office identified the victim as a man, but friends said Saffore was a transgender woman, known as T.T., who was homeless.
No one was in custody as of Thursday morning.
