[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] Yet another transgender person has been brutally murdered. According to authorities, Jahaira DeAlto (pictured above), a trans activist who worked with a domestic abuse program, was hosting a man and his family in a Boston home on Sunday when the man allegedly stabbed her and his wife to death in front of two children who also resided with DeAlto in the city’s Dorchester neighborhood.
The suspect, Marcus Chavis, was ordered to be held Monday without bail. The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office confirmed the slayings, but did not release a motive for the killings of the 42-year-old activist or the 35-year-old’s wife, Fatima Yasin.
