Connor Betts and his sister Megan.
The “sister†of the Dayton, Ohio, shooter who was killed during the attack identified as a transgender guy — although his family had no idea, according to a report and some of his own social media posts.
Connor Betts’ 22-year-old sibling was named by authorities as Megan Betts in the days after the mass shooting, with cops releasing a statement saying relatives had lost “a daughter.â€
But he apparently went by the name Jordan Cofer, and identified as a male, although he was only “out†to a small circle of friends, according to Splinter News, which spoke to several of those pals anonymously.
“Jordan was my closest friend,†one pal told the outlet. “He identified with he/him pronouns to people he trusted and knew would support him. Jordan was probably one of the sweetest people you would ever meet, a true saint, but he was also very scared constantly. He tried to give the best to everyone.â€
One of his friends also confirmed to The Post: “I did know that he was indeed a trans man.â€
