Trans woman killed in Kansas after being repeatedly run over
A transgender woman has died in Kansas City after she was repeatedly run over.
Police found Tamara Dominguez, 36, lying unresponsive in a parking lot at 3am on Saturday (15 August) night.
A witness told police that she had got out of a black SUV that then intentionally knocked her down, backed over her and and ran over her again.
Dominguez was rushed to hospital in critical condition but died on Monday.
Friends and family said they did not recognize the vehicle or know who Dominguez might have been with.
‘We understand that maybe they were arguing, but it’s not fair for what he did. It ain’t fair,’ her roommate Juan Rendon told KCTV News.
Authorities are treating the incident as an aggravated assault but said it is too early to say for sure whether the attack was a hate crime.
‘I don’t think it’s fair somebody dies like this no matter what the problem was, what happened. Nobody has the right to kill someone,’ Rendon told KSBH TV.
‘I don’t think people have their mind open, they’re just close-minded. They don’t understand. For some people being transsexual or transgender or gay they think it’s funny.’
Rendon has launched a GoFundMe campaign to send Dominguez’s body to her family in Mexico.
At least 16 other transgender woman have been murdered in the US since the beginning of the year, a historic high according to the National Center for Transgender Equality.
