Jurors start deliberations in trial for man accused of killing cross-dressing prostitute

Prosecutors on Wednesday wrapped up their closing arguments in the case against Luis Rijo De Los Santos, a Palm Beach Gardens man accused of shooting three cross-dressing prostitutes in 2012.

Rijo De Los Santos is accused of fatally shooting Tyrell Jackson, 23, and his two friends Michael Hunter, then 20, and Terence Chatman, 27, in the early morning hours of March 24, 2012.

That night, Rijo De Los Santos left his girlfriend at home in Palm Beach Gardens and traveled to West Palm Beach where he picked up the three men who were dressed in women's shoes, wigs, makeup and clothing, authorities said.
