    Cruz’s attorney claimed his client, a transgender woman, lashed out against Hodges because the 36-year-old postal worker had made a slur “about her gender identity.”

    Cruz claimed that Hodges had ridiculed her with homophobic remarks and struck her several times before she pulled a knife and fatally stabbed him.
    She showed no remorse for her actions when interviewed by detectives at the 28th Precinct in Harlem.

    “I hope he’s maggot food,” Cruz told detectives, according to court documents. “I killed him laughing. Oh, well. I’ll piss on his grave.”.
    Hodges had struck Cruz at least three times during the deli fight before she stabbed him, she claimed.

    “I told him, ‘You come to me and I’ll kill you,’” Cruz told investigators. “No motherf—ers are going to put their hands on me no more.

    “He tried to mess with me because I’m trans, and I poked him up,” Cruz said.
