KC Man Charged in June Death of Transgender Woman

By Associated Press

Kansas City, MO (AP) Officials say a 41-year-old Kansas City man has been charged in the fatal shooting last month of a transgender woman. Marcus Lewis is charged with second-degree murder, armed criminal action and unlawful possession of a firearm in the June 25 death of 32-year-old Brooklyn Lindsey. Police say she was found dead on the porch of a home in northeast Kansas City. She had been shot several times. Court records say DNA testing of the shell casings at the scene led detectives to Lewis and that Lewis admitted to shooting Lindsey. Police say Lewis told investigators he and Lindsey were engaged in a physical fight when Lewis pulled out a gun and shot her. Lindsey was the 11th black transgender woman to be murdered in 2019.
