Transgender woman seen brutally attacked in a widely circulated video last month was shot to death in Dallas over the weekend.
A transgender woman seen brutally attacked in a widely circulated video last month was shot to death in Dallas over the weekend.
"We recognize that hate crimes, if you will, are a serious topic," Assistant Dallas Police Chief Avery Moore said at a press conference Sunday."We at the Dallas Police Department take them serious." Video of the encounter showed a man in a white, long-sleeved T-shirt and white shorts as he ran up to her and threw her down. He then pinned her to the ground and started raining punches on the woman's head. Several other men join in the assault, stomping and kicking her as she struggled, until a group of women intervened.
"This has been a rough week for myself, the transgender community and also the city of Dallas," Booker said an April press conference."This time, I can stand before you … whereas in other scenarios, we are at a memorial."
