Wanda Alston
Posted by Meredith on Mar 24, 2005 at 08:22AM in News Reports - permalink

I can't believe I haven't mentioned this yet - the murder of Wanda Alston, the director of the Mayor's GLBT office for Washington DC. The local news outlets were in a frenzy after her body was found by her partner in their home; less than 24 hours later an out-of-work neighbor was arrested. Initially it had been thought that this was a hate crime, but in the end it turned out to have been a somewhat random killing. She was probably fairly well-off, and though she probably didn't flaunt it I can see that an unemployed person would choose her for robbery. There has also been speculation that she had let him into her home to move some furniture. Whatever the motive, detectives have decided that it was in no way a hate crime because of her role as a prominent lesbian on the Mayor's payroll.
