The Murder of Maya Young (SOLVED)

Maya Young was a twenty-five-year old transgender woman who was fatally stabbed on February 20, 2016 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by nineteen-year old Jose Pena and twenty-four-year old Tiffany Floyd.

Maya was found on February 20 by police on the 4800 block of Penn Street with multiple stab wounds to her neck and chest, still breathing, she was taken to Aria Frankford Hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.

It is unclear how Tiffany was caught; however Jose was ratted out by Tiffany, with police being able to verify that he was involved. The motive for the murder also remains unclear. Both are facing murder and conspiracy charges.
