Trans-identifying homeless man allegedly stabs Christian shelter employee in stomach over eviction



A trans-identifying man in South Carolina became so irate over a recent eviction from a homeless shelter that he allegedly stabbed an employee in the stomach with such force that her internal organs were exposed.

Until recently, a 34-year-old homeless man going by the name Michelle Silva Perez had been staying at Shepherd's Gate, a Greenville homeless shelter — which is run by a Christian organization called Miracle Hill Ministries — designated to serve women and mothers with young children.

Miracle Hill also issued a statement, claiming ignorance about Perez's true biological sex while he stayed at Shepherd's Gate but indicating it would have 'had no bearing' on his admission into or disqualification from the facility designated for women and young children.

Last Wednesday night, Perez had been "disqualified" from staying at the shelter because he had violated facility guidelines, Miracle Hill said in a statement. The organization did not specify the nature of Perez's alleged violations.

Exactly when Perez learned about his eviction is unclear, but the next morning Greenville police were called to the scene after Perez allegedly attacked a shelter employee on account of the eviction.

According to reports, Perez pushed the employee to the ground in the Shepherd's Gate parking lot and then allegedly hoisted what the Greenville County Sheriff's Office called a "sharp-edged object" and what an arrest warrant referred to as a sword and began stabbing the employee with it.

The stabbing apparently caused such severe wounds to the woman's stomach that when officers later viewed surveillance video of the attack, they could see some of the victim's internal organs on the outside of her body. Police apparently also could identify Perez as the perpetrator based on the video.

The woman was rushed to a local hospital and underwent surgery. She "is currently stable and recuperating," Miracle Hill said.

Meanwhile, Perez was arrested on charges of attempted murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime and booked into the Greenville County Detention Center, though as of Thursday morning, his name does not appear in a jail records online database. Perez reportedly has been placed in isolation in a men's facility because he's allegedly in the midst of a so-called gender transition.

Despite reality, the statement from the sheriff's office referred to Perez as "a woman" without any "trans" qualifiers. Blaze News reached out to the agency for further clarification about the statement. Spokesperson Lt. Ryan Flood told us: "I can tell you that [Perez] identifies as a female, and her [driver's license] indicates as such."

Miracle Hill also issued a statement, claiming ignorance about Perez's true biological sex while he stayed at Shepherd's Gate but indicating it would have "had no bearing" on his admission into or disqualification from the facility designated for women and young children.

"After the incident, we became aware in media reports that the former guest was transgender," the statement said in part. "Our ministry had no knowledge of this. That report, whether true or false, had no bearing on whether Miracle Hill would help, and did not contribute to the guest’s exit from the facility."

Man who pretends to be woman unrepentant about allegedly murdering parents. Cop worries about 'respect' suspect will receive.



A Utah man who allegedly murdered both of his parents in cold blood earlier this week not only reportedly confessed to the crime, he also allegedly insisted he would "do it again" if he could.

Around 7 p.m. on Tuesday, a 28-year-old man whose given name was Collin Troy Bailey but who legally changed his gender to female and his name to Mia Bailey last year allegedly marched into his parents' home near St. George, Utah, with the intent to kill his family.

'We want to make sure that she knows that we’re going to treat her in the correct way and in a fair way.'

According to reports, his parents — 70-year-old Joseph Bailey and 69-year-old Gail Bailey — may have taken issue with his gender confusion. Neighbor Richard Zyszkiewicz told reporters that the family's relationship was volatile and that he got "bad vibes" from them.

Once inside the home, Mia Bailey allegedly opened fire on his parents. He also allegedly attempted to gun down his brother, who had locked himself in a bedroom but managed to escape to a neighbor's house and call the police.

When officers arrived on the scene, they found Mr. and Mrs. Bailey covered in blood and shell casings scattered all over the floor. The couple was pronounced dead at the scene. Two shots had struck Joseph Bailey, and four had struck his wife.

After an extensive manhunt, Mia Bailey eventually surrendered to police. The handgun on his person supposedly matched the caliber of the shell casings found at the home.

Once in police custody, Mia Bailey was surprisingly forthcoming, and according to an affidavit, showed no "remorse" about killing his parents. "I would do it again. I hate them," he allegedly said. He likewise "openly" expressed "hatred" for his brother, the affidavit added.

Perhaps not surprisingly, Bailey also seemed to have issues with other family members, who supposedly told police they were "afraid" of him. "These family members all sought alternative lodging ... to ensure their safety," the affidavit said.

Mia Bailey has been charged with three counts of aggravated murder, seven felony counts of discharging a weapon, and one count of aggravated burglary. Whether he is now housed at a women's or men's detention facility is unclear.

At least one area cop seemed eager to demonstrate just how accommodating law enforcement plans to be about Bailey's gender. "This isn’t the end for her, right?" said Lt. Kory Klotz, a public information officer with the Washington City Police Department who has repeatedly used female pronouns to describe the suspect, as Blaze News previously noted.

"We want to make sure that she knows that we’re going to treat her in the correct way and in a fair way and make sure our justice system is followed and that she gets the respect that she needs."

Police have not yet confirmed a motive for the shooting. It is unclear when Bailey is next scheduled to appear in court.

Man who claims to be woman wanted for double homicide, remains on the loose



A man suspected of shooting two people to death in southern Utah earlier this week remains on the loose, police say.

Around 7 p.m. on Tuesday, police received a report that shots had been fired inside a house on E. Chinook Dr. in Washington, Utah, just a few miles northeast of St. George. Officers were able to gain access to the residence easily as the front door was ajar when they got there.

In a department statement posted to Facebook, Klotz described Bailey as a 'transgender male transitioning to female.' Then during an interview with St. George News, he repeatedly used female pronouns in reference to Bailey.

Once inside, the cops made a horrific discovery: two adults, one male and one female, lying dead from apparent gunshot wounds. Officers attempted unsuccessfully to render medical assistance. The identities of the victims have not been released, though ABC4 described them as "a couple."

There were no other individuals inside the home at the time. However, cops found evidence that the two deceased were victims of "a homicide," said Lt. Kory Klotz of the Washington Police Department.

Police do have a suspect in this case: 28-year-old Collin Troy Bailey, a biological man who masquerades as a female and goes by the name Mia Bailey. Any connection between Bailey and the victims is unknown, and police did not reveal why they believe Bailey may have been involved in their untimely deaths.

Bailey also remains at large, having fled the area in a bright yellow Kia Soul with Utah license plate UO69GF. Bailey is described as 5'10" and just 130 lbs. with brown hair, though Klotz noted that Bailey frequently wears different wigs.

The suspect may also be carrying a small-caliber handgun, Klotz warned. So, anyone who spots Bailey or his vehicle should immediately call police and not attempt to engage, he said.

In a department statement posted to Facebook, Klotz, described as a public information officer, described Bailey as a "transgender male transitioning to female." Then during an interview with St. George News, he repeatedly used female pronouns in reference to Bailey.

"Her whereabouts are unknown," Klotz said. "She is considered armed and dangerous."

The Facebook post indicated that Bailey may still be in Washington County, Utah. Even with a possible murderer on the loose, "There are no threats to the general public," the post insisted. The case remains under investigation.

Anyone with information about Bailey should notify Washington Police at (435) 986-1515 or simply dial 911.
