Suspect arrested in India Clarke murder

In Tampa, Florida police have arrested a man who is believed to have murdered transgendered woman India Clarke.

DNA evidence has linked 18 year old Keith Gailard to Clarke’s death. Investigators found Gailards DNA under the victim’s fingernails as well as a condom containing fluid in the victim’s car. Gailard shot Clarke on July 21 with a .22 caliber handgun. After the shooting Gailard sold the gun for $50. When confronted by police they found the found scratches on his neck along with with discovery of his DNA on Clarke’s fingernails. The cause of the killing is unknown.

Gailard has been charged with first degree murder and is being held on a $275,000 bond.

This sounds like another case of a man messing around with a transgender person and when he was threatened to be exposed he couldn’t take it since it’s clearly obvious they were in a sexual relationship.
