A man has been charged with murder after killing a transgender woman who allegedly made him feel “suspicious” while performing oral sex, according to the New York Post.
Damarean Kaylon Bible, 25, of Minneapolis is charged with second-degree murder after the deadly shooting near Lake Street early Tuesday morning. According to charging documents, witnesses reported to police that they had heard a gunshot near a courtyard then saw a man walking away from the area.

Speaking with authorities, Bible initially claimed he was not involved in the shooting, but later admitted that he was once shown the video footage gathered by investigators. He then admitted to shooting the victim, saying she made him feel suspicious while performing oral sex. After the sex act was complete, Bible said he continued to feel suspicious, so he shot her. Gunshot residue was located on her sweatshirt hood, according to police, and he admitted to shooting her from “inches away.”
Once arrested, Bible was given a phone to make calls to his parents, during which he told his dad that he “just murdered someone” and that he, “knew he wasn’t God, but he had to do it.”
A search warrant was executed at his apartment, and a 9mm Polymer80 handgun with no serial number was recovered, along with a .22 caliber rifle.
Bible is currently in custody.
