Hate Crime: April 13, 2023 Louis, Missouri Hate Crime on Transgender Person

Around 3:30 p.m. on April 13, 2023, an unknown man would get on the MetroBus at Chippewa Street and Grand Boulevard in the northern edge of the Dutchtown neighborhood in St. Louis, Missouri. He would take a seat in the back of the bus. There were already a few people on the bus including a transgender person (gender unstated). This person was sitting closest to him and he spoke to them. Minutes later the man would get up from his seat and start attacking the victim. He would kick and punch the victim almost two dozen times and then pointed a gun at the victim.

It's believed that this was a hate crime against a transgender person. 

The suspect is a black male with an average build. He has facial hair a long scar on his right forearm. He was wearing a neon yellow t-shirt with a dark-colored emblem on his left chest pocket (possibly a Wrangler shirt), khaki pants, dark sunglasses, a black beanie with a dark emblem on the left side, blue boxers, and black shoes with white soles. He was carrying a dark-colored cross-body bag with frayed edges.
