Rasheen Everett – Update


There are only two people who know what went on in that apartment on that fateful night and one of them no longer has the ability to tell her side of the story. Hopefully having this man arrested will give us some insight into what led to Amanda’s untimely demise.

A young woman cut down in her prime is gone and we need to know why. I am certainly hoping Rasheen owns up to what he’s done and doesn’t attempt the ever popular trans-panic defense.

A Manhattan man has been charged with murdering a transgender woman in her Ridgewood apartment last month and then pouring bleach all over her body, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said.

Rasheen Everett, 29, was arrested in Las Vegas April 9, about two weeks after allegedly strangling 29-year-old Amanda Gonzalez-Andujar in her 62nd Street apartment on March 27, the DA said. Everett returned to New York Tuesday and is awaiting arraignment in Queens Criminal Court. He could receive 25 years to life in prison if convicted on the charges of murder and tampering with physical evidence.

“The defendant is accused of violently taking the life of another human being in her own apartment and then tampering with the body by dousing it with bleach,” Brown said. “This case will be vigorously prosecuted in order to secure a measure of justice for the victim and her family.”

Everett entered Gonzalez-Andujar’s apartment a little before 9 a.m. on March 27, and several minutes later individuals heard screams and loud banging, Brown said. The defendant left the apartment about 17 hours later, carrying the two bags, according to the DA.

Three days later, on March 30, a police officer found the victim lying on the bed and reported bleach had been poured on her body, Brown said.

The city medical examiner determined the cause of death to be manual neck compression.

Gonzalez-Andujar was the first person murdered in the 104th Precinct in 2010. A total of two people were slain in the precinct in all of 2009.

Arrest made in the Murder of Transsexual woman found dead in NYC


Amanda Gonzalez-Andujar's naked body was found in her apartment March 30, two days after she was strangled to death.

Amanda Gonzalez was found dead lying in the nude in her NYC apartment a few weeks back and the case sent tidal waves through the TG community.  There is now a suspect in custody and his name is Rasheen Everett.

Everett can be seen below trying to cover his head as he is led into custody by investigating officers. I am so happy to see that authorities acted quickly on this case and didn’t let this murder go unsolved. All too often cases involving those in the GLBT community don’t seem to get the attention they deserve.

Rasheen Everett (l.) is charged in the slaying.

The man wanted for strangling a transgender woman in her Queens apartment has been arrested in Las Vegas, police said.

Rasheen Everett, a 29-year-old ex-con wanted for two attempted murders in Massachusetts, allegedly killed Amanda Gonzalez-Andujar, also 29, inside her Glendale apartment in March.

He fled to Vegas, where he was staying with an acquaintance, sources said.

The victim was discovered March 30, her naked body sprawled across the bed, when worried friends persuaded the landlord to open the door to her apartment.

“We found her on her bed. She was naked,” her friend Barbara Vega, 35, told the News at the time. “Everything in the apartment was destroyed. All her Marilyn Monroe pictures were destroyed.”

Peep the video after the jump!

Kelis shows off “Flesh Tone” album cover


Kelis is having the best week ever after being awarded a 100k in her divorce settlement from Nas. The eclectic singer is also giving us a glimpse into what we can expect from her (visually) on her “Flesh Tones” album by releasing the album cover.

Flesh tones will serves as Kelis’ 5th studio outing and will be released internationally on May 17th and in the U.S.on July 6th. I am sure the record company is probably planning to release a more commercially viable single here in the U.S., which is why there is a later release date.
