Black Lesbian couple murdered
This news is spreading like wildfire, and it could only have us heartbroken to know someone who would kill over someone’s sexual preference. We hope this isn’t the case.
Crystal Jackson and her long-time girlfriend Britney Cobsy were discovered dead in a dumpster on Friday in Galveston, TX.
According to reports, the lesbian couple were apparently traveling together to the beach for Mardi Gras festivities. Neither families heard from them since Wednesday.
The homicide has not been classified as a hate crime, however authorities say the car they were driving was stolen and may belong to whoever killed them.
There are also reports that each of the ladies were killed in different ways and that their bodies may have been moved to where they were discovered after they were already dead.
The families of these young ladies have been completely distraught, asking so many questions. They are asking for the public’s help in finding the suspects of this murder.
