A Virginia dentist was allegedly killed by his transgender daughter during an argument this weekend, police said.
Dr. Abbey Horwitz, 68, suffered “several” stab wounds at their $2.1 million home in Virginia Beach shortly before 9 a.m. on June 3, and was pronounced dead at 9:13 a.m., police said.
Horwitz’s daughter, a biological male in the process of transitioning into female, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and stabbing in the commission of a felony.
Police called the suspect “Michael (Norah) Horwitz” in a press release and used the pronoun “she.”

In one of her 2017 stories on the site, Norah says her mom is her “first favorite superhero” who “taught me how to disappear.”
“I’m learning to become invisible to live as a woman,” Norah wrote. “It’s a talent I have for being transparent. I let you see right through me and pretend I don’t see you at all. I’m half here and half hidden, a trick I learned from the smartest woman I know.”

Norah’s father, known to his patients as “Abbey,” has been a dentist for over 40 years and has roots in the Bronx, New York.
A former patient told 13NewsNow that his wife had retired in February and they wanted to travel.
