Angie Zapata in Greeley, CO

A Greeley transgender woman was apparently murdered this month because a man she met on the Internet became angry when he discovered she was biologically male.

The Weld District Attorney charged Allen Ray Andrade, 32, of Thornton with second-degree murder and aggravated motor vehicle theft Wednesday after Thornton police arrested him on traffic warrants and Greeley police arrested him thereafter on the murder charge. He was picked up while he was in the dead woman's car.

The news came as an incredible relief for Angie Zapata's sister, Monica Zapata.

"I thought they were never going to find him, honestly, I was doubting the police. I was doubting everybody. I just thought he was going to be out there forever," Monica Zapata said in an interview with Fox 31. "But when they called me and they told me I was the first one they called, it lifted away from me — that knot from your throat, like it was not there anymore."

An arrest affidavits shows Andrade told officers he met Angie Zapata on the Internet and they got together in Greeley. When he discovered Zapata was biologically male, he beat her to death with a fire extinguisher.

Zapata, who was born Justin Zapata, was a transgender woman who lived under the name Angie.

HE had a PENIS. Therefore HE was a MAN. HE didn't deserve it but it really shouldn't be shock to anybody. If you are a straight guy and you're getting serviced by a hottie who you find out is a dude, then you're probably gonna get beaten at least or in the worst case killed

[megatron68addict]

You don't know any fucking shit about this...Obviuosly...your the crazy gay ass-hole...

The guy in prison was dating a TS and did not know...when he found out, he beat her to death with a fire extinguisher....

Sad case of something you probably don't understand or have any tolerance of...I could be wrong...(and I hope I am wrong)

Very sad situation...If you insist on the "faggot" reference, you are a very prejudice and ignorant fuck-nut!!!!

Peace and Karma to you...

most the people on here just come on here to talk shit about glbt, and its pretty frustrating that nobody actually reviews their facts before they start stating things, but what can you do? people will always be ignorant about things they are scared of or dont understand. nobody takes into consideration that being transgender actually has to do with the psychology and physiology of someone's brain, they'd rather look at it as something to talk shit about cuz its different from them.

a dildo with killers dna? shit keeps gettin weirder and weirder.

[Michelleny914]

being transgender does not make a person gay. If you would bother to educate yourself on the issue you would realize this. But based on your comment, your bigoted talk shows that you have no regard for education.

[X420SouljaX]

agreed
