A beloved transgender disc jockey was shot and killed outside a club in San Francisco's Tenderloin district early Saturday morning, and the suspect is still at-large, according to the victim's attorney and friends.

The 30-year-old victim, identified as Anthony Torres, aka Bubbles, was the victim of a hate crime, according to his attorney, Jim Reilly, who described Torres as an activist and artist.

San Francisco detectives were investigating the homicide that occurred about 2:50 a.m. in the area of Larkin and Myrtle streets, police said. Officers arrived at the scene and found Torres suffering from one gunshot wound. He was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead, police said.

"This is a disgrace, it's a hate crime, and it will not stand," Reilly said.

was the victim of a hate crime

Is there any actual evidence of that, or is it just that a tranny techno DJ sounds very hateable?

People in the neighborhood said Torres would often play music in the street and give away snow cones and cotton candy.

How do they know this if they don't know who the suspect is?

Seems rather unlikely, in the sense that's come to be defined.

They should have just named it the Pork Butt District.

They never said that. Read the article.

quote:

Police did not provide any suspect information or possible motives. They also were not calling it a hate crime. Reilly said a gunman came out of the New Century Club, got into some sort of altercation with Torres and then shot him. The suspect then ran from the scene, he said. Reilly said there were several witnesses who saw the shooting.

Looks like NBC Bay Area doesn't play into the transgender stuff.

Um not saying he's wrong but the police don't have a suspect or motive.

The New Century Club is a titty bar.
