An alleged transgender sex worker was found guilty of shooting a California man in the eye, which killed him. The victim was fatally shot after asking for a refund for the sex act following the discovery that the prostitute was transgender.
On Monday, 21-year-old Leion Butler — aka Leniyah Butler — was acquitted of second-degree murder but convicted of voluntary manslaughter in federal court. The case was tried in federal court because the location of the shooting, the Presidio of San Francisco, is federal land.

Butler, of San Francisco, was found guilty in the shooting death of 32-year-old Hamza Walupupu, which took place in the Crissy Field East Beach area on Nov. 12, 2023.
