Kelly Day, a 32-year-old biological man who identifies as a transgender woman, has been charged with first-degree murder after stabbing 50-year-old Larry Young 13 times in the head, neck and shoulders during a days-long confrontation over gender identity in Chicago, Illinois. The attack was so violent that the tip of the knife broke off and lodged in Yang's skull. The stabbing happened in front of the 7-year-old stepson. Day told his wife that "bullies" should not get away with mocking his gender identity. Following the stabbing, Day called 911 and claimed that he was injured while defending himself from a "pervert." In a second emergency call, Day changed his account, claiming the injury occurred while cooking.
