No matter what y’all say…. Idgaf is she identified as a dolphin.., that doesn’t justify her life being permanently suspended from this earth …. Y’all try to victim blame and come up with excuses for cold blooded murder and it’s honestly disgusting… at the end of the day that was a human being and being murdered is horrible … stop tryna make excuses for murderers …
What's a dolphin???
Tell your people to calm down
What a shame to destroy a human being , I've seen many people die in my profession and l must say each life was precious a God given gift that someone decided it needed to be eliminated . What happened to your humanity, who gave you that right.
New Orleans is small. Really small. We know who all the ponks are. If a man is caught with a ponk then he been on the DL. The ponks not gon tell on him tho. Them DLs love getting mad and taking their anger out on ponks.
Suspended??? Baby she was deleted from this earth 🌍
RIP Chy Chy and Cierra and everyone that died here in New Orleans just like them.
Amen 🙏🤎😇🕊️
Y'all , please,, male or female - if you have to tell a family member or friend "if i go missing or die look at this person" PLEASE get away from that person !! Im always shocked when people say that, stay safe from people you know are dangerous to you 💜
Exactly... If you feel that someone is going to harm you... Why in the world would you hang or keep hanging around, I don't understand people that cause their own deaths... Mind Blowing
Exactly it's like the person manifesting that ish by saying that, Because I seen many times when a person has said that not long after that there gone!!!!!
I've been in that situation before & had no clue how to get out of it until it was too late& it almost cost me my life!! I'm lucky to still be here fr
@@Sandy_.cheeks 💜 I'm glad you did make it 💜
ACCEPTANCE! LOVE! SAFETY!
Rest in Forever Peace Paradise, BeYOUtiful Souls.
👏🏾 NEVER seen 'BeYOUtiful' spelled that was🤗 What a BEAUTIFUL interpretation aaanndd elevated level of depth🥰🥳 I may be late and just now seeing it but either way THANK YOU💐🫶🏾🙏🏾
@@lataun.richardson
Hello Lovelyou... it's never too late to feel and to share how we feel... Thank You ~♡
Never heard of this and live here. It’s just a regular day in this city. Sad to say.
Exactly!
No one has the right to kill anyone. RIP 🙏🏾
Such beautiful, promising lives 😢
I pray their families and loved ones manage to find peace
R.I.P ladies 💐
Rest In Peace 🙏🏾 Chyna and Cierra❤😢
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
My Deepest Condolences Go Out To The Family and Friends✝🙏🏽💜🕊🕊
I hate when I watch a show and the killer doesn't get caught. It pisses me off. Men I'll tell ya, got to be careful with them. A lot of men are on the DL.
They know who killed China because her blood was found in that car. The owner of the car should know who was driving the car at the time. I pray that they have arrested that individual and he will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
My sincere condolences to both families.
The lifestyle leads you to HELL, YOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU WANT!
Exactly
They have to stop tricking these men a man should be able to choose if that’s what he wants
I'm from Louisiana, born and raised ❤ . My sister-in-law had a friend who was gay . He was murdered in 1979, and to this day, Robert's murder has never been solved .
So sad ,this city needs help..but this is kinda different from the other homicides that happens in my city,I remember when this happened but never looked into it so this video gives a better look in this case and it's really really sad...
Blood in the car but no arrest?!?
Uh it says an arrest warrant
They know who was driving, how has he not been located and found? The owner of the car knows who drove it. Post his name and face
This episode is very interesting. In all honesty, this show is nearly the ONLY show interviewing New Orleans’s citizens who are fabulously articulate. From my experience, every crime show on major networks that I have watched, when New Orleans is the subject matter, every person they interview have oppressively distracting accents as if the networks are spreading a belittling bias towards the New Orleans residents, especially those who are people of color.❤
Yes. Anything on tv is overly exaggerated. Most aren’t living in the bayou and can’t speak.
I agree
@@MsTygamemy aunt and cousins are from New Orleans and have strong accents ! You can't speak from everyone,only yourself !
What people of color, black? Just say that and stop lumping others in with blk folks.
You've never been there. The bias is correct.
I remember them 😢❤
May the Two Victims rest in peace and my condolence to their families. 🙏🏿
May God protect these men!
God as nothing to do with this types of men at all
Richard
@@johnnyhughes5534I thought everyone of us are children of GOD.. I thought we were in his image or whatever y’all be saying.. Y’all don’t know God and he never told y’all anything so shut your face and stop hating on ppl because you don’t understand their lives..
@@rachaeljordan7853 the Bible tells what God's message is, so everyone has the opportunity to know God through the Word. Some people are not His children by the choices they make.
@@Enough.Said.if he gave life to us then we all are his children.. No matter what our lifestyle choices are..
1:48 because it is also a city that is plagued with poverty. I was born there and spent most of my summers uptown at my grandparents, but I hate this city. It’s full of ratchetness and ghetto mindsets. 😢
This the comment nobody wants to say. Poverty and the spiritual wickedness of this place (and others) is crazy.
I pray for this state! It’s filled with much evil thoughts continually! Many need to repent in this State!(other states too)! But crime is huge there! Sodom & Gomorrah comes to mind for me!?
Poor doesn't equal evil. Period.
@orlandojohnson5742 whatever. Louisiana is why abortions aren't nationwide now. So you can take your judgemental attitude somewhere else.
@@theoryofpersonality1420
👍🏿TRUTH!! Say it louder in case those in the back did not hear. You’re 10,000% spot on!!!!✌🏿
I love your show!
I’m saddened so many people are hateful in the comments
Lady in green this lifestyle ain't right
My Condolence to the two victims families . May the families get the justice they deserve.
😢 My condolences
Being yourself in any enviroment with certain types in our culture unfortunately means your at a high risk of death.The difference in being yourself in an enviroment thats accepting with other cultures is simply the stigma and judgement is slightly less - the risk is there but life is valued more - if you can move out and move away! These women are so brave but its not worth the risk when your in the same areas where hate and ignorance and poverty is high.I would work hard and then go and live as yourself elsewhere - RIP ❤
Not victim blaming, they should’ve lived in their truth cause some men don’t want to be outed. They were living dangerously by meeting in secret cause regardless how people want to perceive them, they still were a man so their killers didn’t want to be exposed as being gay.
Regardless of the point you just attempted to make … NOTHING JUSTIFIES a life being taken for no reason period
@@xoesknow it doesn’t but they were living dangerously by not being truthful and unfortunately there’s consequences
Correction! We are not men nor have we ever been a man! Now if you wanna say we’re male or born male! That valid! Because if you still have a penis that does make you male! BUT MAN OR WOMAN IS NOT SOMETHING YOUR BORN! MALE AND FEMALE ITS WHAT YOUR BORN! BUT MAN AND WOMAN IS SOMETHING YOU GROW INTO! AND I DONT REMEMBER EVER BECOMING A MAN! CAUSE I WAS BUSY BECOMING A WOMAN! just educating you
@@nikkihall196 you’re not educating me. God said male and female he made them in His image, man and woman. You can be whatever you want or choose but be honest about what you once was before your transition. Not everyone agrees with what society does;just like you want to be accepted and respected also respect & accept how others feel as well.
Im sorry but you are delusional. @@nikkihall196
I'm sorry that this man lost his life but my thing is that the reason why they loose their due to the fact that they don't identity themselves for who they really are and if that other person did know their true identity..... that don't give them the right to try and expose them cause they want people to know that they are together. If that's what they like ok but don't get in your feelings cause they want to keep it a secret. That's all I'm saying.
If you gon say sorry say sorry everybody knew Chyna and she never hid herself if you really knew her you would know keep yo dumbass comments to yourself
its a hate crime
Absolutely!
Awwwww Mook!!! RIP Mook!!! He was killed here in New Orleans as well.
My condolences to the families of these two victims
😢 Lord, help!
May They Both Rest In Peace.😢
The mental illness and curses are strong...
R.I.P to the 2 beautiful women.
I believe that the lady who claims she’s an advocate for that community needs to apologize to society for trying to place the blame on us as a whole for those two murders. Those unfortunate victims were murdered in crimes of passion and by other members of the LBGT community (whether they were undercover or not). She still tried to blame us for the murders for her friends and it’s sad.
There is no boogeyman going around murdering trans people. It’s just not true and it is a narrative that is used to minimize the real issue which is hate crimes committed against ALL black people. The LBGT community is the most, and I repeat THE MOST protected community in American society. I cannot watch a modern TV show without a LBGT sex scene being crowbarred into it and I cannot voice my opinion about the LBGT community without getting fired!
You told no lies mamas!
@@IamThe1NotThe2 girl! The nerve of these folks! You cannot disagree with that community without damn near fearing for your life because of all the protection they got, yet they still try to play victim! Ridiculous!
Your absolutely right.
Facts
So true.. spoke volumes in this message.
Tragic!!!😢😢
Look out for your friends. Blessings 🙏🏽
Just so much evil in the world 🌎 Why not let everyone live the way they choose? Such beautiful people being hated for just wanting to be happy. Rest in peace beautiful ✝️
murder capital
Very sad 🙏😢
Everyones out dated attitudes? lives ending isn't solely bc they dentify as trans. Ppl are over hearing this
I could never harm a transgender person. Who iam I to judge when I myself am far from perfect. I thought that God is the judge. It's not far to harm anyone and take their life away.
I wouldn't harm them, but I refuse to validate their delusions. They're the rudest people on Earth when they feel you're misgendering them on purpose. That's why they are going to be hurt.
respect is earned, you cant demand it.
Alot of Prostitution goes on on that street
im confused..If they found Sierra's blood in the car how do they not hsve enough for an arrest?? that's crazy as hell cause that's more then enough evidence for an arrest..smh
They have enough for a arrest, they said they can't find him. He left the city
@@shoncarter5362& with so many homicides there daily. They probably don’t have the resources to chase him down 😔
These criminals in NO, run those police officers crazy
New Orleans can't solve any of its murders..
🙏🏽🙏🏽
✔️
Truth comes 💡 justice 🔜
Damn so the guy has never been caught smh damn shame
this men killed me they like too mess with the tran women, but don't want nobody too know
Hoping I can ask an honest question, is a hate crime when it involves murder is it a worse charge? In my book murder is murder. Just wondering how different charges are?
Murder IS murder. People have to be very careful and not try and deceive people.
Legally there are aggravating factors to murder and mitigating factors. Aggravating factors could be if someone who is overtly different is attacked. Then the attack occurs due to them being different, it’s a hate crime. Mitigating factors are if a parent sees their child being molested and in a moment of rage kill the molester. Aggravating factors will usually carry a harsher sentence. Mitigating factors carry a lighter sentence. Another example is out of the blue killing a trans person , or an elderly person killing their spouse because they want to die due to terminal illness and pain. Those two examples surely shouldn’t carry the same punishment. Still think murder is murder?
@@luller85 unfortunately yes. But I personally believe some are justified however in Gods eyes I don’t believe that is the case. Thank you for answering my question 😀
@@sandywilde4247that’s not correct though. If you believe in the Bible, you should know there are plenty of contradictions. Including when killing is acceptable. Actually not just acceptable, demanded. This, however, goes against the morals of the Western world, and rightly so.
Detective from the first 48 New Orleans homicide Robert
So why not name the person of interest who answered the door in reference to the Camaro🤔
Really sad! This is a hate crime! Why people just can’t let people be happy with the way they choose to live their life !
I can't watch more of this. This type of stuff really upsets me. But may God bless those MEN that was tookin
This is exactly why I don't go to Mardi Gras parades anymore but, there are some locations that are pretty much safe, to go if You must ...
Thou should not be gay it’s in a Bible
Thou shall not kill is in there as well🤷🏽♀️
Not only is it NOT in the Bible but being born the wrong gender doesn’t make people gay. Many trans people remain in straight relationships and marriages..Gay and transgender are seperate things.
Has no reason for you or anyone to Kill someone God didn’t give you that power
@@skyhoward2050You kidding me? God makes no mistakes.
I miss you China
Strange name for reporter
Travers Mackel
😯wow
Obviously a hate crime , so much evil in this world:((💔💔😪😪
🎉come on everyone hit the thumbs 👍 up button!!!🎉
Rest In Peace
Miles Bryant was known to be a bad actor by the local police. They had numerous issues with his criminal antics.
Police were hoping the body wouldn't be found.
10:48 of course you can tell you are. You really think otherwise?? Because if not you must be joking...
If you don't want the attention be who you are born as. No disrespect but changing ur sex is very disrespectful
murdering someone is even more disrespectful 💀
I knew a woman that got killed at Mardi gra years ago & car jacked! She was my baby dad's barbers wife! Killed for no reason!!
That person was probably scared for their life and trying to get away 😢
HATE CRIME for sure!!🙋🏾♀️
No, it's a gay on gay crime.
It's become acceptable and gets plenty of justification because a certain group can't control their emotions. They lie to others every day and most of us walk away from it without causing physical harm to said group. But by some chance, if they did get hurt it's all hell to pay but because their manhood is hurt they feel it's ok act on their hurt.
"HE"
cry
Sooo y’all never followed up on that limp guy? He just took off and hasn’t been caught all of these years later? Wth ..
Low downman road 🤔
RIP to these men
This is so sad and horrible wth has the right to judge or take another persons life!
Stop saying she😅
cry
She
So, so sad.....❤🙏
I think it’s sad so many men think they are female. I hate the fact they’ve been murdered. It’s all sad.
Right let's talk about it..why in the world first of all after God created you to be a man why wanna be a damn woman? Some days I regret being a woman but I'm not tryna be a man either..this is a lifestyle and awhole bunch of shit that comes with it these days STDs HIV and murder by people who hate y'all or messed with y'all tripping and woke up the next day and felt like shyt only way to keep that secret is to take the transexy out..I'm a female but I feel their position not saying it's right I just feel their position
rip beautiful ladies! stay safe everyone.
They were MEN and that is the problem, we need to stop with accepting this foolishness and tell people the truth.
@@4dyamondx745go to hell
I don’t agree with homosexuality at all but that gives no one any authority to take anyone’s life. That judgement belongs to God.
Blessings💜🙏….
First 48 one of my favorite crime show's ❤️🧡💛💜💙🩵
I really wish channels would monitor their comments.
Prayers for the family!
My condolences 🙏
Blood found in the car that was the victim's, that's not enough evidence to arrest?
man, wtf is even that? 😂😂😂😂😂
Omg i just realized that comment bout littering wasnt from a stupid person it was an intentional dig from a hate filled ugly person secretly confused about themselves 😅
just say no to the perversion.
What's that supposed to mean?
Just say no to violence and crime.
2 wrongs don’t make a right!
Crime is wrong & living in sin is wrong! Unfortunately the righteous have no right to kill either! Learn to love the person…. But continue to hate the sin! (GOD HATES SIN)! Point blank! Jus know that & be aware of your status with him! Unprepared to meet the King in death!(if you die In sin)!
U are speaking PURE FACTS
R.i.p young man..
At 8 minutes why is dude eyebrows drawn on up by his forehead looking all CRA Cra 😮☝️
