Police in Dallas have arrested a suspect in connection with a string of murders targeting black transgender women.
Lyles was also named as a person of interest in the death of another black transgender woman, 26-year-old Chynal Lindsay, whose body was found in a Dallas lake less than a month after Booker’s murder. Police are also looking to see if he could be linked to the deaths of other transgender women in the city.
Booker was found"lying face down" on a Dallas road on May 18, police said, adding to a fast-growing number of national homicides targeting transgender women. Booker gained national attention earlier this year when a video circulated online showing a brutal beating by several men in the parking lot of an apartment complex as a crowd cheered.
She told police that the incident occurred after a minor traffic accident and that the men yelled homophobic and transphobic slurs at her. The Dallas Police department currently has four active murder investigations involving black transgender victims, with the oldest unsolved case dating back to 2015. Brittany White, 29, was fatally shot inside her car in southeast Dallas in October 2018 and another transgender woman was nearly stabbed to death in April.
