The trial of Dwight DeLee for the murder of Lateisha Green will begin in Syracuse, NY on Monday, July 13. Teish, who was a trans woman, was murdered at a party in 2008 by a gunman who is said to have made a number of hateful remarks about her gender identity and presentation and perceived sexual orientation. Her brother was also injured in the attack. The alleged murderer, DeLee, is being tried for second degree murder, with added hate crime charges.
