Fairfax County police have released body camera footage from an incident on September 16, 2024, in Reston, Virginia, where an officer shot and killed a knife-wielding transgender woman during a welfare check. The woman, identified as 33-year-old Sydney Wilson, was 6’5” and weighed 330 lbs. She reportedly attacked Officer Peter Liu with a knife, slashing his face. Despite being injured, the officer fired multiple shots, fatally wounding Wilson. The welfare check was initiated by a mental health professional who reported Wilson was agitated. The incident has sparked renewed calls for action by BLM activists, who claim Wilson was unjustly killed.
