Trans woman’s body found wrapped in bloody bedsheets

-

A transgender woman in Minnesota was found dead, wrapped in a bloody blanket in the backseat of a car, police say.

Liara Tsai’s body was discovered after the car’s driver, Margot Lewis, got into a car accident following a long, high-speed drive that caused distinctive tire marks. When police discovered the accident, they noted Tsai’s body wrapped in a blanket and a mattress.

The victim woke up in the ICU with a brain bleed, a broken nose, and multiple fractures.

“In checking to see if anyone else was in the vehicle, a deceased individual, a 35-year-old female, was located in the back seat. The condition of the deceased was suspicious, and it was immediately apparent that the death was not a result of the motor vehicle accident,” police said in a Facebook statement.

“Ms. Lewis was transported by Mayo Clinic Ambulance Service (MCAS) to the hospital, where she was medically cleared,” police added. “Ms. Lewis was then transported to the Adult Detention Center (ADC) and placed under arrest for Interference with a Dead Body. Ms. Lewis is expected to make an appearance in court on this case on Tuesday.”

Lewis is reportedly representing herself in court currently.

Tsai reportedly didn’t die from injuries sustained in the crash, but rather from injuries that occurred before it. Medical examiners found a large wound on her neck.

Tsai worked as a DJ and was a vocal activist for the transgender community, according to The Star Tribune.

“She said a friend was coming to stay with her,” said her friend Steven Seuling. “I checked in with her by text on Saturday, but she didn’t answer, which was very unusual for her.”

Seuling said that she moved from Iowa to Minnesota last winter.

When she didn’t show up, Seuling said “We were really freaking out. It was very unlike her not to be there.”

Tsai was a “community and trans activist. She was very, very much more than just a DJ,” Seuling added.

Three other victims were wounded, including two other trans women. The suspect, who remains unidentified because he hasn’t been charged, has two other pending cases in Cook County court, records reveal: a felony residential burglary count and a misdemeanor count of domestic battery. The 19-year-old suspect lives in the same apartment complex as the victims did, on Chicago’s South Side. The police report for the mass shooting details how two people “kicked in the front door and began shooting” at about 1:40 p.m. on January 23.

Conservatives were already upset about Target over its LGBTQ+-inclusive Pride collection. But now they’re angry over fake AI-generated images that show the store selling “Satanic” clothing. The images show kids wearing clothes with inverted pentagrams and goat heads and a store display with a red, goat-headed mannequin. The images were created by Facebook user Dan Reese with the AI program Midjourney, Reuters reported . A Target spokesperson told the publication that it “has never sold” the pictured items, and the items aren’t available on the store’s website.
