Captured: Transgender Suspect Who Allegedly Gunned Down Parents in Utah

A transgender suspect who allegedly shot and killed his parents in Washington, Utah, Tuesday was captured Wednesday and has been charged with numerous felonies.

ABC 4 noted that the shooting suspect, originally named Collin Troy Bailey, now goes by Mia Bailey, and is “a transgender male transitioning to female.”

KSLTV reported that police confirmed Bailey’s “name and gender were legally changed in 2023.”

Bailey was able to avoid being arrested by police on Tuesday night, and was located by law enforcement around 8:00 a.m. Wednesday. Officers were able to convince Bailey to surrender the gun and afterward took Bailey into custody around 10:30 a.m.

St. George Police Department’s Officer Tiffany Mitchell announced Bailey’s arrest:

While Bailey was still on the loose, Washington Police Department’s Lt. Kory Klotz warned that Bailey’s looks could change quickly, indicating that “wears wigs and is known to change hairstyles frequently.”

2 KUTV reported that law enforcement documents claimed Bailey told them, “She did not have remorse for her actions and that she would not change what she had done.”

Bailey allegedly said, “I would do it again. I hate them.”

On June 8, 2024, Breitbart News reported that the transgender woman who shot and killed six innocents at a Nashville Christian school wanted to go to her parents’ home afterward and kill her father. In a post-attack interview between police and the transgender’s parents, the father was told that the transgender woman wanted to slash his tires to prevent him from leaving the house so she could come there after attacking the school and kill him.
