SEATTLE - The murderer of a Cuban and Native transgender woman from Minnesota was sentenced this week. A judge in Hennepin County, Minnesota, has ruled that Damarean Kaylon Bible, 25, will spend nearly 31 years in prison for second-degree murder after fatally shooting Savannah Ryan Williams. Bible will serve two-thirds of his sentence behind bars and the remainder on supervised release.

According to reports from 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS, police responded to a call at the Minneapolis' Phillips West neighborhood last November and found Williams' corpse. Court documents say that investigators were able to identify Bible thanks to a surveillance video from the area.
