ex-con who stabbed transgendered prostitute knew she was a he

The ex-con who stabbed a Bronx prostitute to death had known the transgendered victim for months, police sources said Monday, casting into doubt the alleged killer's claim that he never knew she was biologically a he.

Steve McMillan, 37, was arraigned Monday on murder and weapons charges and remanded to jail without bail for killing Talib Stewart, 25, who went by the name Sanesha.

"According to our information, he had known the victim for a long time," the source said. "They had been seen together."

After the Saturday morning slaying in the victim's Beaumont Ave. apartment in East Tremont, McMillan told cops he flew into a rage when he learned Stewart's gender. But two sources said Monday that the two had known each other since McMillan got out of state prison in 2007 after serving eight years on a Westchester County drug conviction.

Prosecutors allege McMillan stabbed Stewart in the neck and chest. There were also defensive wounds on Stewart's hands, a police source said.

The source said the statuesque Stewart had been arrested for prostitution four or five times.

Neighbors placed candles in front of the building in the victim's memory Monday

This guy needs to be locked up for the rest of his life. Everyone knows god damn well he knew what he was getting into with this girl. His defense that he did not know is a bunch of bullshit. He knew she was a t-girl and he had no problem having sex with her until he dumped his load. Then he felt guilty as all hell and freaked out and killed her. Sounds like second degree murder to me. That's just my humble opinion, but I'll bet my last dollar that's what really happened.

Very sad, but sadly not a rare occurance. At least this poor girl was found in her own home, thus making an ID was easy so her friends and family will have some peace. Also LE found the person and now the legal system will have to grind it's wheels.

As for the accused going down for murder, highly doubt it. As most anyone who knows anything about the criminal justice/court system in NYS can tell you, most all crimes are pleaded down one or two levels, and indeed criminals are always over and under charged. Proving murder and getting a jury to convict, even when DAs present a strong case. Heck, just a few months ago a man in LI got manslaughter for killing his next door neighboor and her head was found in the trunk of his car.

Jury trails are long and very expensive, which is the reason so many accused are offered plea deals in the first place. One must also consider the family of the victim. Sadly her entire life will be held out in court for the world to see. Not just being a trannie, but her criminal record (if any), lifestyle, the entire 99 yards. While this shouldn't make any difference most of us would think, sadly not everyone shares that view, and a potential jury pool might contain enough persons who feel trannies, gays, and or "working" persons, get what they deserve.

Can you imagine the girl's family and friends having to wait months for a trail, then sit through a long trial where the victum's life is smeared all over the place, then have the jury come back with not guilty verdicts to the most serious charges, and or worse; all of them?

News Media Reporting of Transgender Issues:

Initial media reports on crime scenes come from information provided by LE either on the scene or through the NYPD's press office. The NYPD has never been known to have much love for gays, trannies, or prossies for that matter. If a person is found dead, they will go with what biology they see, and or information gathered at the scene or elsewhere. In this case, because of the girl's previous LE contact, they may have her address (if her priors were busts out of the same location), and "knew" who she was. When pre-ops are taken into NYPD custody, they are labeled as "men" but indications are made regarding transgender. The later is more to prevent lawsuits and move the girl into protective custody, but she will still be in the male section of jail.

As for the media in general, some tend to be more sensitive than others. While most will not report a trans-woman or trans-male as simply "male" or "female", the best will simply say "transgendered female/male". Again if a person is totally passing and has ID in their new gender, then unless someone "outs" them or in the case of say a murder or death where the medical examiner's office is called in, sleeping dogs will lie, so to speak.

Sadly more women and girls are killed by men they know than total strangers. Sadder still women are being snatched off the streets and from their beds, never to be heard from again, or found dead.

Thing about indoor sex workers, and or those who pick up dates on the Internet or even in bars, there is a feeling amoung some in society that what happens to them is their own fault. Indeed many victums feel this way and this clouds their view about reporting crime against them. Many trannies who are working are victums of crimes ranging from physical abuse to robbery and most do not report. True LE has not been known to be the most kind towards such persons when they report crimes against them, but that is their job.

Think those who are working are leery of bringing too much attention to themselves, hence do not report crimes agianst them. Just the standard query line from LE is enough to shake some person's boots: The first questions are going to be did the victum know the person. How did they gain access, and so on. Best advice is the one we are given as children: do not go anywhere with strangers, nor allow them into your home.

Men "Freaking" Out:

Sadly that happens all to often as well, and as usual it is the "woman" who lead the man to "stray" or do something he didn't want to do.

Am willing to bet most of us girls have been there in one form or another. One meets a guy, even a very hot looking guy, and things go on from there. Sex could be that day or even weeks later, and by all accounts the man in really into things and you, only afterwards things begin to change. If one is lucky things stop at the "does this make me gay", questioning, and one can get the dude out the door. Other times things start to get really strange, and one starts getting really bad vibes. Hopefully again one can steer the guy to the door/get out before things start getting ugly.

What is really weird about those sort of situations, is they normally involve men one really wasn't trying to bother with. You know, they either sweated you at a club, or chatted you up on the street, and quite honestly you almost passed them up (see, instinct was telling you something), but they would keep on pestering you, so you let your guard down.

Some hobbies are more hazardous than others... but it doesn't give a loser a reason to kill someone. He could have just gone home and curled up in the fetal position for a few weeks and drank some brews and just tell himself he will do a better inspection next time. Unless the Bronx will demand labeling on hookers in the future.
Really sad...

the more I hear about this, it sounds like it has little to do with transsexualism or prostitution: it sounds like a nasty fight between 2 people that probably had nothing to do with either of those subjects, and he just used the first excuse he could come up with when 5-0 collared him. Maybe he was trying to rip her off and she wasn't having that.

I'm very sorry to hear about her death. That is a terrible tragedy and my thoughts and prayers go out to her family. I hope the criminal is locked away for the rest of his life. Also I can't help but feel angry towards the media for her portrayal. I understand that not everyone knows or can differentiate between CD/TS/TG and other gender identities. But in a situation like this, in the biggest city in the US they should know the difference. It is un-excusable in my mind.
