CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A man out of prison for less than a year for fatally shooting a man in 2003 is now accused of stabbing and wounding a transgender woman in the fourth known violent attack against a transgender person in Cleveland this year.

Ulious Brooks, 36, is charged with felonious assault. He is being held in the Cuyahoga County Jail on $100,000 bond.

The attack follows three other instances of violence against transgender women in Cleveland, including two that have been killed and one that was sexually assaulted while sleeping at the 2100 Lakeside Men's Homeless Shelter.

The stabbing happened about 2:40 a.m. Saturday at a Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority apartment complex on East 98th Street near Union Square, according to police.

CMHA police did not release the police report until late Thursday, four days after cleveland.com requested the report.

The woman told police she went to her aunt's apartment to talk about some family issues, including an accusation that the woman previously stole items from her aunt's apartment, police reports say. Brooks walked into the apartment, argued with the woman and stabbed her several times, according to the report.

The woman's aunt told police that she heard Brooks and the woman arguing, saw them fighting and saw Brooks stab the woman in her bedroom, the police report says.

Police found the woman bleeding profusely on the apartment floor. She told police that Brooks, who was standing over her, had stabbed her, according to police. She was taken to MetroHealth.

Investigators found the knife hidden under a bed, along with a crack pipe and burnt marijuana joints and a blood-soaked towel in the kitchen, the police report says.

Brooks denied stabbing the woman. He told police that he was sleeping when she walked into the house with stab wounds, according to police reports. He said that he tried to stop the bleeding and called police, according to the report.

Brooks was arrested and taken to the Cuyahoga County Jail.

Brooks was released from prison on July 24, 2017 after serving an 11 1/2 year sentence for voluntary manslaughter in the March 14, 2003 fatal shooting of 41-year-old Tyrone King.

The shooting stemmed from a fight that happened the day before, during which Brooks threatened King's girlfriend. He threatened to punch the woman's teeth out over an argument over Brooks shortchanging the woman on a deal where he was supposed to sell her 12 bullets for $30, but only gave her six.

King's brother found out and the two men fought inside the apartment building. The next day, King and his brother confronted Brooks, who was with another man.

The four men fought. Brooks pulled out a gun during the fight, fired one bullet and killed King.

A jury found him not guilty of murder, but guilty of voluntary manslaughter. Brooks was on probation at the time for a 2002 drug trafficking conviction.
