Houston transgender suspect runs over, fatally stabs man: police

A suspect who was allegedly seen on video running over a man twice with a car before straddling him, kissing him and fatally stabbing him multiple times in broad daylight has been charged with murder.

Karon Fisher, 20, is described in court documents obtained by KTRK-TV as a man, but is referred to as “she” by the Houston Police Department. The homicide took place around 7:50 p.m. on May 3, police said in a statement.

A neighbor’s video obtained by KTRK appears to show an intentional attack on the man who was supposedly on his way to collect his mail.

It shows the victim, identified in reports as 64-year-old Steven Anderson, turning to look at the screaming white car hurtling toward him, before it hits him and reverses to hit him a second time. The suspect, seen all black, then appears with a knife in his hand before turning Anderson around, straddling him, kissing him then stabbing him nine times.

Officers were called to the scene regarding a person who had failed to stop and help another person. Anderson was found by officers with several stab wounds already dead.
