21 year old popular Texas college football player Carlton Ray Champion
Jr. (left) has been charged with the murder of 24yr old transgender
woman, Ty Underwood ()right, who was killed on Jan. 26th.
Police first caught a break in the case when Ty's roommate, Kedrick
Darks, told police Underwood had been dating a man named “Carlton” for
several weeks prior to her death.
Police say they interviewed Champion, who confirmed that he had been
communicating via a service called “Kik” with Underwood, who was going
by “Tyra” on the service.
