A 25-year-old transgender woman was found
beaten to death on Tuesday morning outside of the University Area community
center in Tampa Bay, Florida,
in an incident officials are calling a
murder. The death of the young woman, India Clarke, who
was described by family as a “very loving person”, is the 10th transgender
homicide in the US this year, according to the National Anti-Violence Programs
(NCAVP), and is being seen as more evidence of what many are calling an
“epidemic of violence”. A park employee found
Clarke’s body just before 9am, and according to investigators, she died due to
blunt force trauma.
Investigators say Clarke’s body suffered from blunt force trauma
and the case is now a murder investigation.
