Transgender Suspect Unremorseful in Parent’s Shooting: Cop’s Respect Stirs Controversy
Earlier this week in St. George, Utah, a shocking crime unfolded that has shocked the local community and raised questions about how law enforcement handles unique situations. Collin Troy Bailey, a 28-year-old man who legally transitioned to female and changed his name to Mia Bailey last year, is alleged to have brutally murdered his parents.
According to accounts, at approximately 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Bailey reportedly entered the home of his parents, Joseph and Gail Bailey, aged 70 and 69 respectively. It’s alleged that Bailey’s family may have strongly disagreed with his gender transition, contributing to a contentious and volatile home life. Richard Zyszkiewicz, a neighbor, described the family dynamic as giving him “bad vibes”.
Upon entering the home, Bailey is accused of commencing a horrifying shooting spree. His brother narrowly escaped, managing to lock himself in a bedroom and subsequently flee to a neighboring house to raise the alarm. Tragically, by the time officers arrived at the scene, the parents were already deceased, the victims of a relentless attack.
“‘We want to make sure that she knows that we’re going to treat her in the correct way and in a fair way.'”
The crime scene was gruesome, with the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Bailey covered in blood and bullet casings scattered across the floor. Joseph Bailey had been struck by two bullets, while Gail Bailey was hit four times.
Following an intensive search, Bailey surrendered to the police, the handgun found on him reportedly matching the caliber of the casings found at the scene. During his initial questioning and custody, Bailey showed no remorse, according to law enforcement documentation. He allegedly stated, “I would do it again. I hate them,” demonstrating chilling disdain for his parents and “openly” expressing animosity towards his brother.
Other members of Bailey’s family also reportedly feared him, opting to stay elsewhere for their safety. The affidavit indicates that “these family members all sought alternative lodging … to ensure their safety.”
Bailey now faces numerous charges, including three counts of aggravated murder, seven felony counts of discharging a weapon, and one count of aggravated burglary. It remains unconfirmed whether Bailey is currently detained in a men’s or women’s facility.
In the midst of this complicated case, law enforcement has shown a conscious effort to respect Bailey’s gender identity. Lt. Kory Klotz, a public information officer with the Washington City Police Department, stated, “We want to make sure that she knows that we’re going to treat her in the correct way and in a fair way and make sure our justice system is followed and that she gets the respect that she needs.”
The motive behind this brutal crime remains uncertain as law enforcement continues its investigation. Bailey’s next court appearance is yet to be scheduled.

HE should be subject to capital punishment! This epidemic needs to be treated for what it is, mental illness. The hate in these godless people is beyond comprehension and many in the govt condone it. God is Love, when He is removed, this is the result. Thanks to those states correcting this!!

By the time the police arrived they were dead. This is why you need to be responsible for your own safety. A law is just words on paper. It doesn’t stop people from doing things hot are illegal. It takes time for the police to get to the scene of the crime. Outlawing guns does nothing to stop criminals from getting them. The protection of your family and yourself ultimately fall on you. Accept your responsibility.

This author of this article repeatedly misgendered the suspect. At least the police got it right.

Refuse to acknowledge the obvious Mental Confusion and Distress these people are experiencing by calling it Normal is where the problem starts. It’s deranged and as we’re seeing… DEADLY.
They are NOT normal as so many of them have already proven.

It is against the law for a person with a mental illness to have a gun. They are taking away veterans right to own a gun when they are provided someone to manage their finances.
Transgender is a mental illness and should fall under the same restrictions as any other mental illness.
No my views on gun ownership have not changed. My views on dangerous mentall illness restrictions/treatment have not changed.

First off, he is a male, you can’t make up what you want to be, born a male, always a male! Obviously he has a mental problem, like all the rest of them that exist, and the very few I know! This is caused by never telling your kid no, or some derainged so called professor or Dr. that you can change the unchangeable! If your kid is that whack, get them help before this kind of thing happens. If they’re an adult, they’re a lost cause! I see it every day!

I thought mentally ill people are NOT allowed to have guns. The “laws on the books” need to be enforced. socialism is when the communist do not allow laws to be obeyed. “they will call good, evil, and call evil, good”. Need to get the mentally ill OUT of gov’t. in Amerika, NOW !
