A man has been arrested in connection with the death of trans woman India Clarke.

Last Wednesday morning, India Clarke joined the list as at least the 11th trans woman in the US to be murdered this year.

Now Keith Lamayne Gaillard, an 18-year-old, has been booked on charges of first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a violent criminal.

Bail was set at $25,000 for Gaillard.

25-year-old Clarke’s beaten body was found in a Tampa Bay, Florida, park by an employee last Wednesday morning.

Her death was caused by blunt force trauma.

Those with information are encouraged to contact the authorities.
