Officers from the Metropolitan Police Department arrested Aug. 12 a transgendered man for fatally shooting another man in Northeast, DC.
According to a press release, police arrested and charged 23-year-old Michael “Meisha” Hines with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting Wendell Youngblood on the 1500 block of North Capitol Street, NE on Aug. 3.
Hines is also charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for an unrelated offense that occurred on Aug. 11 in the Unit block of Florida Avenue, NW. Apparently, Hines struck a person with a bat and fled the scene. The person was taken to an area hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
Hines is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Oct. 11.
