Texas lesbian couple murdered, left near dumpster

Police are on the hunt for the killer responsible for the murders of a lesbian couple in Texas.

According to RawStory, Britney Cosby and Crystal Jackson were the victims of an allegedly homophobic double murder. The scary thing is that, according to investigators on the case, the two were murdered at separate locations, but both were left by a dumpster in Galveston, Texas.

Police have a suspect in the case, who they believe was the last person seen with both women. He is described as “a black male suspect in his late 20s or early 30s [ . . . ] 5 foot 11 inches to 6 feet tall, and had a mustache and soul patch.”

A police sketch has been released.
