In a story published on May 29, 2020, The Associated Press erroneously reported the wrong pronoun in one instance for a transgender black man who was fatally shot by police. The second paragraph should have said that Tony McDade fatally stabbed his next-door neighbor, not ‘her’ next-door neighbor. Masculine pronouns were used for McDade elsewhere in the original story.
