A man charged with killing his grandma went on trial Thursday for an earlier homicide - the erotic asphyxiation death of a Brooklyn cross-dresser.

Larry Davis, 23, is accused of murdering Richard McCoy - whom he knew as "Denise" - during an hours-long pot-fueled romp in August 2010.

The case was unsolved until April 2011, when Davis was busted in Harlem while having sex with a hooker while the body of his grandmother, Cora Davis, 76, was stuffed in a nearby closet.
