WAR AGAINST TRANSGENDER
Dallas police are investigating whether the
killing of two transgender women and the assault of third over the past seven
months are connected, authorities said Tuesday.
The most recent victim, Muhlaysia Booker, 22, was found fatally shot on Saturday,
according to police. The victims are all African-American.
A 29 year-old transgender woman was fatally
shot in a vehicle on October 21, 2018, according to police. A 26-year-old
transgender woman was stabbed multiple times on April 13 but survived and gave
police a description of a suspect, Dallas police Maj. Vincent Weddington told
reporters.
"At this time, the department is
actively looking into whether or not these assaults, murders have any
connection to one another," Weddington said. "At this time, we have
not been able to draw an affirmative link between these offenses. We're working
to see if there is any link."
