"Nobody deserves this, to die like this,” Andrea Doria Dos Passos' stepfather said.
The family of a transgender Florida woman who was found beaten to death is speaking out after Miami Beach police arrested her alleged killer.
Gregory Fitzgerald Gibert, 53, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder in connection to the death of Andrea Doria Dos Passos, 37, who was identified by police as the victim who was found outside the Miami City Ballet Tuesday morning, according to a press release.
According to an arrest affidavit obtained by HuffPost, a staff member of the Miami City Ballet located Dos Passos lying on her side near the main entrance of the building and attempted to wake her up, thinking she was asleep. Upon closer observation, the employee realized there was blood around her and called the police.
Responding officers “found trauma and blood” on Dos Passos’ face and head. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Further inspection revealed Dos Passos sustained injuries to her face and the back of her head, and had “two wooden sticks” lodged in her nostrils. She also had a puncture wound in her chest.
