Catalan is homeless. Detectives say they believe friends are currently helping him hide. Authorities are asking for the public's help in tracking him down. "There was an argument or a fight of some type and Ms. Ibarra was fatally stabbed," said LAPD Lieutenant Wesley Buhrmester. "We're here to say that we're not going to let somebody come in and kill one of our members and just let it happen and let it be forgotten," said transgender activist Victoria Ortega. Jesus Catalan is 24 years old, 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing 140 pounds, and has a tattoo on his right arm. He is known to frequent the Hollywood and West Hollywood areas.

  • Why kill her. That's fucked up

  • Most straight men would not want to have sex with a transgendered woman and so it's essential that all men are told before hand. Otherwise they feel they've been raped and I hope this isn't why this guy killed that prostitute.

  • Why would that killer hire the services of a prostitute? he is really goodlooking. He could easily get laid without having to pay. Another point is that if he was homeless then how could he get the money to pay for services from transgendered prostitutes?

  • Made me cry, Why must people hate?

  • i agree with the killer, i bet he was straight and was about to have sex with a woman.......then he found out it was a man change to a woman. maybe i would have done the same....no no no.... I would have done the same

  • why jesus why?
