Doski Azad, a 23-year-old trans woman, was found dead on Monday in Iraqi Kurdistan, police said.
Her estranged brother was the only suspect in the alleged honor killing, police said.
Family members had previously threatened to kill Azad for being trans, a close friend told Insider.

Doski Azad didn't turn up to a scheduled meeting, which was out of character, one of her friends told Insider.
The 23-year-old transgender woman, a makeup artist in Iraq's Kurdistan Region, was usually very reliable, she said.
The friend knew something was up, but she couldn't have anticipated the shocking call she received two days later.
"I found out Doski was brutally murdered," she said.

Azad's body was found on Monday afternoon in a village on the outskirts of Duhok. She had been shot in the head and chest, a day or two before the corpse was discovered, Dohuk police said.
An image reviewed by Insider showed that Azad's hands had been tied together, and her body had been left in a shallow ditch.
Police became aware of the body's whereabouts after a tipoff from a relative, the Kurdish media outlet Rudaw reported.
The same relative told police that it was a sibling who had killed her, the report said.
Her estranged brother Chakdar, who spent the past eight years living in western Europe, is the only suspect in the murder, police said on Kurdish television.
People familiar with the matter told Insider that he traveled to the Kurdistan Region in Iraq with the sole intent of murdering his sister.
The murder is being described as an "honor killing," and discrimination was "undoubtedly" at the root of it, the US Consulate General in Erbil said on Thursday.
