| Aldophus Simmons Murdered January 21, 2008 |
Adolphus Simmons, 18, North Charleston, SC
That Adolphus Simmons dressed like a woman was of no
consequence to his neighbors at the Bradford Apartments in
North Charleston. To them, his shooting death Monday night was
a senseless loss of a beloved friend. The effeminate 18-year-old
charmed them with his always jovial and sometimes flamboyant
personality, they said. Police were working on leads in the case
late Tuesday. There was no indication that his slaying was a
hate crime, said Spencer Pryor, police public information officer.
