Today we are talking about the convicted murderer of two men, James “Jimmy” Shepherd and Perry “PJ” Jennings. The killer is a black trans man with the last name Barnes, and the murders took place in Louisiana in the early 2000’s, before Barnes came out as trans. 

This episode was researched & scripted by Wendy & Beth Williams and edited by Minnie Williams.
