Deranged attacker stabs San Antonio trans woman to death because "God told him to"

A 20-year-old transgender woman named Helle Jae O’Regan was killed last Wednesday when a 42-year-old man named Damion Campbell allegedly attacked the Diesel Barbershop in San Antonio, Texas where she worked.

Even though police don’t think Campbell targeted O’Regan for her gender identity, her death makes her the 11th trans person to be murdered this year.

According to the Diesel Barbershop Facebook page, O’Regan and her co-workers had shown up to the shop to deep clean, book appointments, and prepare for the store’s May 8 reopening.

Surveillance video shows that Campbell entered the store to make an upcoming appointment, but when employees asked him to submit a form of payment, he went to his car and returned with a knife, gun, and backpack.
