Exclusive | Knife-wielding transgender woman accused of killing NYC postal worker smiles, rolls eyes in creepy video

A creepy new video exposes the full face of the knife-wielding maniac who viciously stabbed postal worker Ray Hodges to death in a Harlem deli this week. 

Troubled transgender woman Jaia Cruz is seen up close rolling her eyes and smiling seductively in a nine-second video, while a song blasts the raunchy lyrics, “I’m such a wh-re, but I’m not a hoe,” in the background.

It’s unclear if the X user, @ImMeme0, who posted the video Friday, is affiliated with the 24-year-old Cruz — who is now facing murder charges for Hodge’s cold-blooded killing Thursday. 

On Saturday, two members of Hodge’s grieving family declined to speak to The Post — only saying they’re “not doing well.” 

The 36-year-old USPS worker and father-of-two was grabbing lunch at Joe’s Deli Grocery at 168 Lenox Ave. when he and Cruz started arguing while in line, bodega employees previously told The Post. 

Cruz quickly became enraged, spit in Hodge’s face and gutted him in the stomach, police said. He was rushed to Harlem Hospital, where he died, cops said. 

Even before the heinous Harlem slaying Cruz had a rap sheet with five arrests, including once in July 2020 for waving an open box cutter at a person in Midtown West and shouting “I’m going to cut him,” according to police sources. 

When cops ordered the combative Cruz to the ground, she refused and was later busted for resisting arrest. 

Two weeks later, she was nabbed again for a tag-team robbery at knifepoint.
