The PUNCH bi-weekly newspaper was the first to report it.\u00a0 Shavado Simmons, the young aspiring photographer who was shot to death earlier this week, was not killed in a robbery as police originally suspected.<\/p>\n
Mr Simmons, who was allegedly a cross-dresser or transvestite, was apparently killed by a man who he had sexual relations with, after Simmons had passed himself off as a woman.<\/p>\n
The man was furious after being chided by his friends for engaging in a sex act with another man.<\/p>\n
Mr Simmons was allegedly dressed as a woman when he first met the man, who sources say had paid Mr Simmons for engaging in a sex act.<\/p>\n
This would explain why, after chasing Mr Simmons and his friend into an apartment building, the man only shot Mr Simmons, leaving the friend\u00a0 unharmed.<\/p>\n
The Tribune confirmed the story in this morning’s edition after speaking to a “well-placed source in the Central Detective Unit.”<\/p>\n
Gay rights advocates were calling the murder a “hate crime”, because of Mr Simmons’ allegedly gay lifestyle.\u00a0 It appears however, that it was not Mr Simmons’ being gay that got him killed but rather the fact that he may have been leading a very dangerous lifestyle.<\/p>\n
No matter the circumstances, the murder of the young man can not be justified.\u00a0 Police are still investigating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
