CLEVELAND, Ohio — The person found dead in a Cleveland parking lot early Saturday morning has been identified as a transgender woman.

The owner of Ecclesiastic Granite Fab found Skye Mockabee, 26, dead about 8 a.m. in the parking lot his business on West 130th Street in the city’s Puritas-Longmead neighborhood.

Mockabee was lying face down next to a tow truck. She was bleeding from the mouth, according to a police report.

Cleveland EMS and firefighters got to the scene and said Mockabee’s injuries were suspicious. She was pronounced dead about 8:30 a.m., the report says.

Cleveland police originally identified the victim as a man. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office on Monday identified Mockabee by her birth name.
