Today’s Video: Was hate behind Angie Zapata’s murder?

On Wednesday night over two hundred friends and family members mourned the death of a transgendered Latina teen in Colorado. “She was beautiful and she wanted people to accept her for who she was,” said a friend of 18-year-old Angie Zapata who was beaten and killed in her apartment one week ago.

Local police are looking into the possibility of Zapata’s death as a hate crime. Meanwhile, authorities feel that the suspect has stolen Zapata’s auto (Colorado license plate number 441-ORN).

Several bloggers talked about Zapata’s death and some included the following video from a local newscast:
