The victim was a 19 year old transgender woman. She was stabbed to death in the laundry room of her student apartment complex. Seattle police just released these pictures of the suspect. If you know who he is, you can call the tip line at 206-233-5000.

Kennedy's goal here is consistent with all of his other policies aimed at undermining proven health interventions: he believes the people who benefit from them are defective and he wants them culled from the population. It's comic book villain logic, specifically Viltrumite logic.
