On April 22, Allen Andrade, an unemployed 32-year-old who had spent
time in prison for a string of non-violent crimes, was convicted of
first-degree murder for beating to death eighteen-year-old Angie
Zapata of Greeley. A striking beauty, Angie was born a boy named
Justin David Zapata but had been living as a woman for several years.
She and Andrade had met sometime before the murder on the social
networking website MocoSpace and spent three days together before he
killed her.
