MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Miami-Dade police are searching for a killer in what they say is the "violent and vicious" death of a transgender woman.

The body of 45-year old Lenoris Marlowe was found Feb. 4 inside her condominium at the Carmel at the California Condominiums located at 915 NE 199th Street, Miami-Dade police Detective Juan Segovia said in a video posted on Twitter.

"The family was left with no closure, and they're suffering tremendously because of the death and the manner in which our victim passed away, was murdered," Segovia said.

Police are talking to residents in the complex and the surrounding area because "we always believe that somebody saw something that they may not even realize that's going to be able to help us on this case," said Det. Segovia.
