Trans Beauty Queen Yuni Carey Murdered By Husband

Trans activist/pagaent queen Yuni Carey, 39, was found dead by police in her Miami apartment on Tuesday.

Her husband, Ygor Arrudasouza, had called emergency services at around 4.25AM to confess to stabbing Carey while high on meth. He told police that the drug had ruined his life.

Upon arriving, investigators found Carey lying on the floor, covered in blood and suffering from stab wounds

The police report stated Arrudasouza had flown into a rage after Carey told him “she had a better man”.

He grabbed a knife and fork from their kitchen, pushed her to the floor and began stabbing her.

The police report stated Arrudasouza “stabbed her multiple times until he realized what he had done,” and added that the man believes he “deserves the punishment that comes to him”.

Arrudasouza is currently being held without bond at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and faces charges of second degree murder and aggravated battery.

Yuni Carey was born in Cuba, and later moved to Miami with her grandmother. She was an activist, role model, and beauty queen. She was well-known in the South Forida LGBTQ scene, being the first woman to change her Cuban passport to match her female identity.

Her aunt wrote on Facebook: “My heart is heavy, I love you my beautiful niece. Rest in heaven and continue to soar with your beautiful soul!

Bamby Salcedo, president of the Los Angeles-based [email protected], said Carey was a highly-motivated person who cared for her grandmother and was a role model for trans youth.

Salcedo said: “This is a crazy world, so sad. She was admired by so many in the trans communities, her work in pageantry, her work as a service provider, she was the most resilient person. She was a good person.”

The case is scheduled to go to trial on 8 March, 2021.

Carey has become the 37th trans person violently killed in the US this year.
