MIAMI – Police have released surveillance video of the beating death of Andrea Dos Passos, a transgender woman.

The video shows Passos, 37, on the ground outside Miami City Ballet. 

A man walks up and starts attacking her with a metal pipe.

Police have arrested Gregory Fitzgerald Gibert, 53, and charged him with first-degree murder. 

The family of Passos says she struggled with mental illness and homelessness. 

Those close to her says her gender identity made it very hard to stay in shelters.
