A transgender man from Vermont died over the weekend from injuries he sustained during a brutal beating last week at a homeless encampment, the Burlington Police Department said.
Police announced in a press release that 38-year-old Amos Beede, a transient, was found lying on the ground unconscious at 11 a.m. on May 23. It was apparent that she had been assaulted.
Amos Beede, 38, died today of injuries sustained during an assault at a homeless encampment vic. Barge Canal on March 23rd. Rest in peace.
— Burlington Police (@OneNorthAvenue) May 29, 2016
Beede was pronounced dead Sunday at the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington.
Police said Beede, who was born female, identified as a male. But they noted that the alleged attack, which likely occurred hours before Beede was discovered unconscious, may not have been related to Beede’s transgender status.
“The department has not ruled out the victim’s transgender status as a possible additional motive, and will seek to determine what role if any it may have played as the investigation continues,” Burlington Police Chief Brandon del Pozo wrote. “Until the attendant facts are clarified, we will continue to view this homicide as a possible bias incident. We will release further information as it develops.”

— Burlington Police (@OneNorthAvenue) May 29, 2016
Lt. Shawn Burke told the Burlington Free Press in an email that the attack does not appear to have been random.
Police identified two persons of interest in the case: Erick Averill, 21, and Myia Barber, 23. Police did not say whether they were suspects in Beede’s assault. Both Averill and Barber are transient residents of Burlington, the Free Press reported.
“This attack was directed at Amos,” Burke wrote. “There was more than one perpetrator, the investigation is ongoing and to share much more could compromise our efforts.”
Beede endured head trauma, including facial fractures, multiple blunt force injuries to her face and head and a number of broken ribs, police told the Free Press. She was diagnosed with bleeding on the brain, also known as a subdural hematoma. An autopsy by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will reveal the precise cause of her death, the Free Press reported.
The Burlington Police Department and the Chittenden County State’s Attorneys Office are still working together to investigate the case.

John Carney, the Irish director and musician best known for his award-winning film-turned-Broadway-musical, “Once,” recently did in an in-depth interview with the Independent U.K. in which he slammed actress Keira Knightley. Knightley played the lead role in Carney’s 2013 film, “Begin Again,” which featured Hollywood A-listers Adam Levine of Maroon Five and Oscar-nominated actor Mark Ruffalo.

Carney told the Independent that Knightley didn’t have the musical chops to play a singer in the musical romantic comedy. But that wasn’t his biggest critique. He also complained that the star’s entourage was so large that he found it difficult to “get any real work done.”
“As much as I tried to make it work I think that she didn’t quite come out as a guitar-playing singer-songwriter,” he said. “So I really wanted to work with musicians and actors that could play their instruments properly and sing and stuff like that.”
Then came the biggest blow: “I learned that I’ll never make a film with supermodels again,” he said, referring to Knightley, who models for Chanel.
Carney explained that, more than a pretty face, an the ideal actor needs to be willing to discover himself or herself “when the camera’s rolling.” The director applauded Levine and Ruffalo for having this quality.
“Mark Ruffalo is a fantastic actor and Adam Levine is a joy to work with and actually quite unpretentious and not a bit scared of exposing himself on camera and exploring who he is as an individual,” he said.
“Keira’s thing is to hide who you are and I don’t think you can be an actor and do that,” he continued, making the distinction between “proper film actors as opposed to movie stars.”
Carney added later on that he didn’t want to “rubbish Keira,” but explained that “it’s hard being a film actor and it requires a certain level of honesty and self-analysis that I don’t think she’s ready for yet … .”
Carney said that he was “a bit disenchanted” after “Begin Again” and “wanted a break” after making the film in the U.S.
“I was very ready to come back to Ireland and make films that nobody cared about who was in it or any of that crap,” he said.
The filmmaker’s latest work, “Sing Street,” is another musical, staged in his native Ireland. He referred to the musical film, now playing in theaters, as “a small personal movie with no Keira Knightleys in it.”
