Manhunt escalates for hate crime suspect

ST. LOUIS – A brutal attack on a transgender victim in St. Louis just made national television, appearing in the latest episode of FOX’s “America’s Most Wanted.”

It’s a crime caught on a Metro bus security camera in April 2023 and available on the FBI’s Most Wanted page .

The feds are offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of the suspect caught on video in a vicious beating of a transgender victim. The suspect kicked and punched the victim nearly two dozen times and also pulled a gun on them.

“This is very disheartening to everyone,” Metro Security Chief Kevin Scott said. “We’re doing everything we can to partner with law enforcement to provide them with everything that we have within our capabilities to insure that they’re positioned to solve this case and now we just need the public to come forward.”

One identifying key could be on the suspect’s arm. It appears to be a long scar on his right forearm.
