NEW DELHI: In a shocking incident, a woman identified as 20-year-old Karon Fisher, who is reportedly transgender, struck 64-year-old Steven Anderson with her car while he was collecting his mail in a Houston neighborhood on May 3.
Video footage shows the white vehicle swerving to hit Anderson, then reversing and striking him a second time, pushing his body further down the street, according to New York Post.
As witnesses emerged, some using their phones to document the scene and another bringing a pillow to cover Anderson's body, the driver returned. Fisher, wearing a black bra and high-waisted black shorts, flipped Anderson's body over, and kissed him before stabbing him nine times. She then attempted to enter another car but was unsuccessful, and ultimately walked over Anderson's body and fled the scene on foot.
Neighbors expressed their shock and concern, with one stating, "It's very disturbing. I have kids here; they could have been out here playing, and imagine them." Another added, "Broad daylight. People around every time and it happened right under our noses."
Fisher was subsequently arrested and charged with murder, evading arrest with a vehicle, and assaulting hospital personnel. Court records identified the suspect as male, while police referred to her as a woman. At the time of her arrest, Fisher was on community supervision for evading arrest in 2023 and had previously been charged with prostitution in 2021, though the case was dismissed. She is scheduled to appear in court on May 24.
