WATCH THIS
In April of 2019, a video showing a Dallas trans woman being viciously beaten while a crowd of bystanders watched, laughing and jeering, went viral, making headlines around North Texas and beyond. That woman was Muhlaysia Booker, and she quickly became the poster child for efforts to combat anti-trans violence. A month later, Muhlaysia Booker was murdered, her body found lying in an East Dallas street, and the world’s attention became laser-focused on not just Muhlaysia, but the rising violence against trans people worldwide. On Aug. 3, Episode 7 of Season 2 of the MTv series True Life Crime — featuring an in-depth look at Muhlaysia’s life and death, with interviews with her family and friends along with Dallas Voice staff — premieres at 9 p.m. Central.
