(ABC 6 News) — In the Twin Cities, a man was sentenced on Wednesday for killing a transgender woman in Minneapolis last year.
A jury found 25-year-old Damarean Bible guilty of second-degree murder this summer in the death of 39-year-old Savannah Williams. Bible was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Prosecutors say Bible realized Williams was a transgender woman after a sexual encounter. During sentencing, the judge called the crime a “cruel and unimaginable act.”
