Damarion Bible will spend more than 30 years in prison for the murder of Savannah Ryan Williams, a well-known woman in Minneapolis' transgender community. KARE's Kiya Edwards reports.
A Minneapolis man was sentenced to more than three decades in prison for killing a transgender woman in November, though prosecutors said they couldn’t prove the crime was bias-motivated.
Trans people are four times more likely than cisgender people to be the victims of violent crimes, according to a 2021 report from the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law. Since 2013, the Human Rights Campaign, a national LGBTQ rights group, has identified 335 trans and gender-nonconforming people who were violently killed, and 85% of them were trans people of color. So far this year, at least 25 trans and gender-expansive people have been violently killed, according to the HRC.
