that it’s unclear whether Booker’s death was motivated by hate or was a continuation of the April 12 attack.<br />
The beatdown in a parking lot in the city’s Oak Cliff section left her with a broken wrist and a concussion.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">“We recognize that hate crimes, if you will, are a serious topic,” Assistant Chief Avery Moore said.<br />
“We at the Dallas Police Department take them serious.”<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Detectives had no leads in the slaying as of Sunday, police told the newspaper.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">A video posted online last month showed Booker being viciously beaten in the parking lot of an apartment complex after a car accident.<br />

<div></div>
<div></div>
<div class="wp-caption-text featured"><span style="font-size: inherit;">The victim Muhlaysia Booker, told police that she accidentally backed into another vehicle while driving in the Royal Crest Apartments parking lot in the 3500 block of Wilhurt Avenue between 5 and 6 p.m. Friday.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">The driver of the other vehicle, who is named as a suspect in Thomas&#8217; arrest warrant affidavit but has not been arrested, said he ran the victim off the road to keep her from fleeing.<br />
Edward Dominic Thomas, a 29-year-old felon, is accused of repeatedly punching Booker while calling her derogatory names, according to the arrest warrant.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Booker, told police the other driver pointed a gun at her and refused to let her leave unless she paid for the damage.<br />
As a crowd gathered, someone offered Thomas $200 to beat Booker, the affidavit said.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">A video recording of the incident showed that Thomas put on gloves, then walked over to Booker and punched her multiple times.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Police say another suspect who has been identified but not arrested repeatedly stomped on Booker&#8217;s face.</span></div>

<p></span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Several women carried Booker to a car and took her to UT Southwestern Medical Center, where she spoke to officers and said homophobic slurs were used during the assault, police said. She suffered a concussion and a fractured wrist, as well as bruising and swelling to her face.<br />

<div class="wp-caption-text featured"><span style="font-size: inherit;">Two days after the mob violence that left the city’s mayor “extremely angry,” Edward Dominic Thomas, 29, was arrested and indicted on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Thomas, who has been released from jail after posting bail, was </span>offered $200 by someone in a crowd that gathered <span style="font-size: inherit;">after the car accident to beat Booker unless she paid for the damage, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">“This case is certainly disturbing,” police Lt. Vincent Weddington told reporters last month. “The video, I’m sure, shocks the conscience of anyone who looks at this video.”<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Thomas later admitted attacking Booker, but denied yelling homophobic slurs during the beat down, </span><a style="font-size: inherit;" href="https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Transgender-Woman-Whose-Assault-Was-Captured-on-Video-Fatally-Shot-Saturday-510143521.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">KXAS reports</a><span style="font-size: inherit;"><span style="font-size: inherit;">.<br />
</span></span><span style="font-size: inherit;">Thomas was remanded in the Dallas County Jail, with his bail set $75,000. His list of priors in Dallas County include</span><span style="font-size: inherit;"> convictions for family violence assault, burglary and unlawful carrying of a weapon.</p>

</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">However police said, there was no evidence connecting Thomas to Booker’s slaying, which is not currently being probed as a hate crime.<br />
Investigators have previously said more arrests were expected in connection with last month’s attack.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">But civil rights attorney Lee Merritt told the Dallas Morning News that Booker’s murder is troubling, especially for minorities who may be fearful to report alleged hate crimes.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: inherit;">“There is a legitimate concern that the community doesn’t take seriously,” Merritt said.</span></div>
