The Post reports: "A one-legged hooker was killed in Brooklyn after a john hit her over the head, causing her to fall backwards out of her wheelchair and slam her skull against the wall. Investigators believe she had been servicing a client in the hallway who then hit her on the head with a heavy object." Elizabeth Acevedo, 38, a homeless prostitute who lost her leg in a train accident, was found on Thursday morning at the Wyckoff Gardens houses in Brooklyn and died yesterday after being taken off life support. The Post adds, "She wore a prosthetic leg, but also used a wheelchair." Police are still looking for the killer.

does Gothamist ever plan to report on black-on-white crimes ever again?

The comic tone that is all over this story is really pretty disturbing.
I'm sorry, Sir Paul. Who could have predicted there would be two of them in New York?
Sadly, I think that Post's Editors live for the days that they can title an article "One-Legged Hooker Slain."
Heather, is that you?
Am I only one who always reads wyckoff as wackoff?
i love housing projects
Any connection between the one-legged prostitute in a wheelchair and the stolen wheelchair in tomorrow's Ethicist column in the Times magazine?
I'm assuming he finished before bonking her on the head.
And the digg calls are slowing down the comments loading again.
When they catch this guy I hope he doesn't have a leg to stand on in court.
I wonder what her "rates" were.
"Acevedo... had a rap sheet with 67 arrests"
Damn!
When it comes to comedy, the NYPost delivers!
That said...
Because everyone knows you can get into train accidents with a number of vehicles other than trains.
Right?
ooommmggggg i'm at Brett's house
If this was fiction it would be considered in bad taste.
wow..that was the funniest thing i read all day.
"i swear officer, it was the one legged hooker!"
The article indicates that she was arrested more than 50 times.
Sooner of later, the justice system will have to realize that the answer is not throwing people in jail then just releasing them into society to survive
murder is funny.
Donkey punch!
I think the Chicken Ranch has a one-legged room in the back. For an extra $5 they put on the machine gun for 'Planet Terror' cosplay.
To be honest with everyone,I'm actually disgusted how society and the New York Post makes fun of someones death. The Post should really apologize to the family members who are suffering for there loss. Acevedo had family who cared for her. The story that was posted by the New York Post was not all that accurate. And to be honest with everyone who stereotypes a person, we all make mistakes in life. Unfortunately everyone assumes things than rather get the truth.
To the Family of Acevedo my prayers go to the entire family for your loss......
^ Thank you for being the adult in the room. Whatever her mistakes, and there were obviously many, she has suffered and paid for them a hundred times over. What a sad, tragic life. Rest in peace, Elizabeth Acevedo.
The police and FBI have released the name of a suspect in all of this.
If anyone knows the whereabouts of a Dr. Richard Kimball...
