Hooker Fatally Attacked

A one-legged hooker was killed in Brooklyn.

A john hit Elizabeth Acevedo, 38, over the head with a heavy object which caused her to fall out of her wheelchair and slam her head against the wall, police said.

She was found lying unconscious on the floor of a hallway on the 13th floor of a building in the Wyckoff Gardens houses in Boerum Hill. She died Friday morning after being removed from life support at Long Island College Hospital.

Acevedo lost her leg in a train accident and wore a prosthetic leg, the New York Post reported.

Police were still looking for her killer.

I found this site, when I was reading more on this sad story. May she RIP in heaven. Obviously no one chooses their path in life, sometimes it just is forced on them through circumstance, and I think that is why she was in that profession.
For whoever created this site, I think it would be nice if a better photo and banner were chosen. She was more than her profession. Perhaps some other nice photo can be inserted?

Although Elizabeth choose to live that lifestyle she did not deserve to die the way she did. I pray that who ever is responsible for her murder would get the maximum penalty. Inspite of her difficult life there was a side of her that everyone loved. She was a caring & friendly, idividual. She may have been the way she was but she still touched the heart to those that were around her.I know that she is now in a better place May she rest in peace.

Thank you for your sympathy Jacinta

Elizabeth might not have led a respected life, but she did not deserve what happened to her. May she rest in peace. I'm sure she is happier where she is now.
