ADMIN NOTE:
Speculation that perp's orientation / gender identity is somehow related is not based on any known fact. No different than if LE specifies male/female, Caucasian/Black, Catholic/Protestant etc, it is simply a descriptor, not an indicator that such a descriptor is a factor in the crime.
As for pronoun, they/them is fine, but UNLESS there is information from LE or in MSM that this individual's gender is somehow a consideration or related to motive, such speculation is off limits.
