Transgender Suspect Fatally Stabs Victim More Than 13 Times, Breaks Knife in Skull For ‘Disrespecting His Gender’

Transgender Kelly Day stabbed victim 13 times for disrespecting his gender

A transgender person (biological male) fatally stabbed a man in South Side Chicago for disrespecting his gender.

Kelly Day, 32, stabbed the victim, identified as 50-year-old Larry Young, more than 13 times last Wednesday near a gas station in the 1400 block of East 87th Street.

The attack was so brutal and violent that the knife’s blade broke off in Larry Young’s skull.

According to the Chicago Tribune, the stabbing occurred after Day had an encounter with a separate group of people earlier in the day at a McDonald’s bathroom.

They reportedly mocked Kelly Day for using the women’s bathroom at McDonald’s before the fatal stabbing.

Later in the day, Young was walking down 87th Street when he made a comment about Day’s appearance and gender.

Kelly Day became enraged and followed Young across the street near the gas station. After a brief altercation, Day stood over Young and repeatedly stabbed him in the skull.

Day was charged with first-degree murder.

Police said that Kelly Day’s stepson and wife witnessed the fatal stabbing.

Excerpt from the Chicago Tribune:

The attack, which occurred in front of Kelly Day’s 7-year-old stepson in the 1400 block of East 87th Street Wednesday, was so violent that a tip of the knife blade broke off into the victim’s skull, authorities said. Day, 32, is now charged with first-degree murder for an escalation that she claimed happened in self-defense.

During a hearing Saturday at Central Bond Court, Judge John Hock approved a request to keep Day, of Chatham, in custody pending trial, partly due to the brutality of the attack that left 50-year-old Larry Young dead.

The stabbing may have been heightened by a separate interaction earlier in the day when another group of people mocked Day for using a women’s bathroom at a McDonald’s, according to prosecutors. Day, who was assigned male at birth but identifies as a woman, told her wife that she didn’t want “bullies” to get away with making fun of her gender, Assistant State Attorney Sara Grgurovic told the court.

Later in the day, while walking west on 87th Street, Young approached Day, her wife and her stepson.

Young, who didn’t know Day, approached calmly, but began making comments about her gender, Grgurovic said. Day became “extremely angry” and began quarreling with Young, resisting her wife’s attempts to pull her away. Young then pushed Day before walking away toward a nearby gas station across the street, authorities said.

Day followed Young across the street and the pair fought for several moments, prosecutors said. Surveillance video from the gas station showed Day holding a knife, standing over the victim as he lay on the ground and stabbing him 13 times in the head, neck and upper shoulders.
