Killer and motives
The killer was revealed to be victim's coach Ralph Carpenter.

When confronted, Ralph sighed and explained that he's transgender (female to male) and that he transitioned around ten years ago. Since he didn't wanted anyone to know about that, he and his family kept that as a secret. However, few days prior, Ralph forgot his phone in the gym and Beatriz ended up finding it. After unlocking it and snooping around his gallery and text messages, Beatriz found out about his sex-change surgery and went to question him about it. Ralph freaked out and begged Beatriz to be quiet since he's not ready yet. Wanting drama and clout, Beatriz threatened that she'll post it on social media, thinking that "coming out stories" are always in trend. Ralph told Beatriz that he doesn't feel comfortable with her idea, but Beatriz didn't listen. Panicking, Ralph punched her in the face in order to get his phone back. However, it just made Beatriz angrier, so she lunged at him. The pair started to struggle, before Ralph grabbed the metal shard from the floor and accidently stabbed Beatriz in the neck while defending himself, causing her to bleed to death within a minute. Judge Eva Rose sentenced Ralph to 5 years in prison.
