An 18-year-old student, Orlando Perez, who murdered a 37-year-old trans woman, Selena Reyes-Hernandez, in Chicago smirked his way through a court appearance after confessing to the crime.
On 31 May, Orlando met Selena and they went on a date. However, when they returned to Selena’s home, Orlando is said to have asked her ‘Are you a girl?’ and when she told him that she was trans, he left.
