A horrifying incident unfolded in Houston, Texas, as a trans woman was caught ramming a man with her car, kissing his lifeless body, then stabbing him at least nine times.
The man identified as 64-year-old Steven Anderson was murdered in broad daylight on May 3. A troubling footage obtained by local TV station KTRK-TV shows that he was suddenly hit by a car while walking on Woodridge Square Drive.
Who is Karron Fisher?
The driver, identified by authorities as 20-year-old Karon Fisher, then reverses the car and runs over Anderson, while several locals present at the spot try to aid him.
Fisher, who is reportedly a transgender woman, stepped out of her vehicle, brandishing a knife. She flipped Anderson's body, kissed him and then repeatedly stabbed him.
She then attempted to get into another car in the presence of frightened bystanders, according to police.
As Fisher was unable to enter the vehicle, she walked over the victim's body and fled the scene on foot, the officials said.
“It’s very disturbing. I have kids here; they could have been out here playing, and imagine them,” one local told Eyewitness News.
“Broad daylight. People around every time and it happened right under our noses,” another added.
