23-year-old trans woman 'burned beyond recognition' [View all]

A 23-year-old South Florida trans woman, Bee Love Slater, became the 18th trans woman to die in the U.S. this year when police found her body “burned beyond recognition” in her car — just days before her 24th birthday.

The murder occurred last Sunday night. It took cops two days to finally identify her charred remains. They have no suspect or motive. No arrests have been made.

WINK News reports, “Although detectives are still investigating what the motives may be, Love’s best friend said he believes the she was targeted because she was transgender.”
