Colo. — Angie Zapata began living as a woman six years ago
even though she was born male and named Justin.
While Ms. Zapata, 18, was accepted by her many friends and five
siblings, she was bullied in school and at times was lonely and
troubled, an older sister, Monica, said. Eventually, Ms. Zapata
dropped out of school and got her own apartment here in Greeley.
It was in that apartment that Ms. Zapata's badly beaten body was found
on July 17.
