LARGO — A transgender man whose court case made national headlines two years ago died early Wednesday when he stepped into the path of a car on Roosevelt Boulevard.

Julio Silverwolf, born a woman and formerly known as Julia Roach, was pronounced dead at the scene of the 1:45 a.m. crash near St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport.

Silverwolf, 57, of Clearwater had been arrested Tuesday afternoon on a charge of driving under the influence after he was involved in an accident in a parking lot in Clearwater. He was taken to the Pinellas County Jail and released at 12:48 a.m. — roughly an hour before the deadly accident.
