Caprice was assaulted and stabbed to death on the street in San Francisco's Tenderloin district.

On January 17, 2009, Caprice Curry was assaulted and stabbed to death on the street in San Francisco's Tenderloin district. Overkill, the public nature of the violence, and information from NCAVP's local member program indicate that the murder may have been hate-motivated. A 63-year-old man, Tommy Thomas, is reported to have been arrested for the stabbing; no further information was available.

"She strutted around like a model," Singh said. "She was more of a woman than I was. She was very flamboyant and very flirtatious. She flirted with everybody."
