manicholic 3,694 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Ally Steinfeld, 17, is the 21st transgender person killed this year in the U.S. Trio Charged With Murdering Trans Teen, Gouging Her Eyes And Burning The Body Three suspects have been arrested in conjunction with the brutal murder of a transgender teenager in Texas County, Missouri. The body of Ally Steinfeld, 17, was discovered near a mobile home belonging to 24-year-old Briana Calderas, who was arrested along with Isis Schauer and Andrew Vrba, both 18. Steinfeld is believed to be the 21st trans person killed in the U.S. since the start of the year. Vrba told police he repeatedly stabbed Steinfeld, gouging out her eyes and genitals. The women then helped him wrap her body, take it outside, and set it on fire. (Schauer and Calderas reportedly traveled to Walmart to buy items to for the fire.) After the trio burned Steinfeld’s body, they placed some of the bones in a garbage bag, which was stowed in a chicken coop near the house. According to police records, Steinfeld’s cellphone and a knife were recovered from the scene. All three have been charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action, and abandonment of a corpse. Another suspect, James T. Grigsby, was charged today abandonment of a corpse and tampering with evidence. After she disappeared at the start of the month, Steinfeld’s family began searching for her, using tips from friends and chatter on social media. Vrba messaged Schauer on Facebook on September 3, telling her to “stick to the story” and “quit talking.” A GoFundMe campaign has been launched for the Steinfelds. http://www.newnownext.com/trio-charged-with-murdering-trans-teen-gouging-her-eyes-and-burning-the-body/09/2017/ There's nothing harder for people to do than admit they were fooled.

Ziggy 14,042 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Holy balls. If they were living with this person I wonder what prompted such a vile and disgusting attack. It couldn't have *solely* been bigotry, ya know? You wouldn't be living with someone who hates you so I wonder what was the inciting action here because I can't think of one.

GoldenPonyboy 2,434 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 The gouging of the genitals makes this seem like a hate crime. It needs to be called what it is (if in fact the victim being trans being the motivation behind it). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
