A Minneapolis transwoman is facing 2nd degree murder charges after being attacked last summer.
“CeCe and several friends, all people of color, were walking to the grocery store on June 5th, 2011 when several white adults standing in the patio area of a South Minneapolis bar started screaming racist and transphobic slurs at the youth. CeCe, who is only 23 years old, approached the group and replied that she and her friends would not tolerate hate speech… A fight ensued between the adults and the young people after this initial attack and one of the attackers, Dean Schmitz, was fatally stabbed.”
