UNITED STATES: Trans Woman Fatally Attacks Man After Being Mocked For Using Women’s Bathroom
A transgender woman fatally attacked a man after being mocked for using a women’s bathroom at McDonald’s.
Kelly Day, 32, was with her partner and 7-year-old stepson when she allegedly launched the brutal assault on 50-year-old Larry Young last Wednesday, October 7, after being mocked for using a women’s bathroom at McDonald’s earlier that day, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Young was not among the separate group of strangers who allegedly insulted Day hours before Wednesday’s deadly stabbing on Chicago’s Far South Side, Assistant State’s Attorney Sara Grgurovic told the judge during a Saturday hearing at Central Bond Court.
However, he reportedly made comments about her gender when he approached her in the street, leading Day to become “extremely angry” and begin arguing with Young, while her partner tried to pull her away, Grgurovic said.
Young reportedly pushed Day before walking away toward a nearby gas station across the street, authorities said.
Surveillance footage shows Day holding a knife above Young as he lay on the ground, before allegedly attacking him 13 times in the head, neck and upper shoulders, the Tribune reported.
An autopsy found Young lost his life after multiple sharp force injuries, with the tip of the metal knife later recovered from his skull, according to prosecutors and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
