1. Sporatic Local Coverage... Brief Mentions On TV News Here In The DC Area
Then, Saturday morning, Elvys Augusto Perez, a well-known drag performer who went by the name "Bella Evangelista," was shot and killed on Allison Street NW. Police arrested a 22-year-old man and said he had paid Perez for oral sex and then returned in anger after he learned that Perez was a man. With the arrest, police classified the shooting a hate crime.

Friends said that Marshall was always upfront about being a man and that they didn't believe that the killer could have been a sexual partner who felt deceived.

The site is near the center of transgender prostitution in Washington, Fifth and K streets NW, but police said they were unsure whether the shooting was connected to the sex trade.

==========

OH COME ON! Of course it was connected to the "sex trade". The DC Police department needs to get a clue.
