Black- and copper-colored beads lay around a puddle of blood in a Northwest Baltimore alley where police said a transgender woman was killed early Wednesday in a crime that bore similarities to the slaying of another transgender woman last month.

Baltimore police are investigating whether the death of Mia Henderson, 26, is connected to the killing of Kandy, whose body was found June 3 in a field in Northeast Baltimore.

Both were found during the early morning, and police have no suspects in either case.

This spirit is what makes us who we are, and by following that spirit as it manifests outwardly, and inwardly, you are benefiting us all." -Andrew WK

Follow up: ESPN reports that Henderson was the sister of NBA player Reggie Bullock, so expect some mainstream media coverage.

Distressed that The Sun insisted on publishing their former names.

By the fact that Bullock called her "my brother" not clear that he accepted her gender.

I hope these are both random and unrelated to their gender. The idea that some crazy in my state is systematically bashing transwomen to death is terrifying and all too believable.
