Kendrell Lavar Lyles has also been charged with killing two unnamed victims and is a 'person of interest' in the murder of another transgender woman, police said.
A 34-year-old man has been arrested in Dallas in connection with the high-profile murder of Muhlaysia Booker, a 23-year-old transgender woman.
Kendrell Lavar Lyles was arrested June 5 and subsequently charged with three counts of murder, including Booker’s, Maj. Max Geron of the Dallas Police Department said Wednesday. Lyles was originally apprehended after a tipster told authorities that he’d shot a woman, who has not been publicly identified, on May 22.
As investigators probed these two slayings, they discovered that Lyles drove the same type of car that’s believed to have picked up Booker before her killing.
