A New York man who shot and killed a transgender woman last year was convicted Friday of first-degree manslaughter and a hate crime — a conviction hailed by advocates seeking greater protections for transgender people.

Dwight DeLee, 20, of Syracuse, faces 10 to 25 years in prison for killing Lateisha “Teish” Green, 22, outside a house party in November.

Transgender activists said DeLee is just the second person in the Unites States to be found guilty of a hate crime that involved the death of a transgender victim.
