The incident, which is being investigated by Dallas police as a hate crime, comes in the wake of three fatal attacks against transgender women across Texas.
Police have arrested a Dallas man who they say admitted to shouting anti-LGBTQ slurs at a transgender woman before shooting her several times.
The incident unfolded at around 11 p.m. last Friday, when Ramirez-Cavente allegedly pulled up beside Calderon and"began speaking derogatorily of gay and transgender people," according to an arrest affidavit. The woman survived, but police said they weren't able to speak with her until Sunday due to her condition. Her injuries required surgery and she was still hospitalized as of Wednesday evening.The Dallas Police Department released surveillance footage on Monday, showing a red pick-up truck that was allegedly used in the attack, and offered up to $5,000 for any information leading to an arrest and indictment.
"Officers arrested the suspect for multiple traffic violations and transported him to Dallas Police Headquarters," the affidavit said."During the interview the suspect admitted to the details of the offence including shooting the victim at the bus stop."
