Kimbrady Watson Carriker, the named suspect who allegedly shot five men and injured two children in Philadelphia this week, was a cross-dressing Black Lives Matter (BLM) supporter who used ‘they/them’ pronouns.
Photos and online posts emerged after Carriker was arrested on Monday night following the Philadelphia mass shooting, which witnessed the murder of five adults and serious injuries to two children, including a two-year-old boy. He was arranged in court on Wednesday on five counts of murder, aggravated assault, and various weapons offenses.
Carriker was first arrested in 2003, charged with unlicensed possession of a weapon, and carrying a firearm in public, as well as possession of drugs. He was subsequently placed on three years probation and fined over £1,000. He can be seen cross-dressing in a number of selfies posted online, in which he adopts a female persona by wearing a bra, wig, and giant looped earrings.

Carricker also showed support for BLM by changing his profile picture to the BLM fist and posting, “Black lives matter today; there will be jobs available. Equal opportunity finally. Just tell us where your quitting so we can send someone over.”
Other posts have also emerged since the incident, including one reading “how do you know if an evil spirit is following you?” As well as a picture of a gun with the description, “Wherefor [sic] art thou opposition so I may slide upon thine block and runneth down on thee?”
