A second black transgender woman was found dead over the weekend in Dallas. This past Saturday, police found the body of Chynal Lindsey, 26, in White Rock Lake after someone called police to report a body in the lake.
At a press conferences, Police Chief U. Reneé Hall said Lindsey’s body had “obvious signs of homicidal violence.”

Last month, Muhlaysia Booker was found shot to death in Dallas. A month prior to being murdered, she was beaten by a mob that shouted anti-LGBTQ epithets like “That’s what your faggot ass gets” and “Get that faggot out of our hood.”

A grand jury in Dallas County charged a young Hispanic man with the murder of a transgender woman found dead at White Rock Lake in Dallas on June 1.

Rubén Alvarado, 22, remains in the Dallas County jail on $ 500,000 bail and investigators say he refuses to cooperate with the investigation.

The accusation did not include any information about the reason for the attack, but police said Alvarado's phone contained GPS data that showed the device in the exact place where Lindsey's body was recovered.
In November 2021 Alvarado was convicted and sentenced to 32 years in prison for Chynal's murder.
