149. Dwayne “Gully Queen” Jones: Mob Killing in Jamaica

Reverie True Crime

Dwayne Jones was a young teenager in 2013 when they were kicked out of their home in Montego Bay, Jamaica because their father thought they were "too feminine". Dwayne also quit school due to being harassed constantly. Jamaica is a homophobic environment with buggery laws still in place today. Eventually, Dwayne met two transgender young women, Khloe and KeKe, and started living with them in an abandoned house. Dwayne wore dresses, experimented with makeup, and accessories. Dwayne was finally feeling accepted and loved for their authentic self. In mid-July of 2013, the big secret of Dwayne being a cross-dresser was revealed. The one person Dwayne thought it would be okay to tell, while at a straight bar, went back and told a bunch of men. That was the beginning of what would become a colossal, tragic torture and murder.
