Gay Man Stabbed To Death In Brooklyn By Muslim Teen In Alleged Anti-Gay Hate Crime
The victim, 28-year-old O’Shae Sibley, was stabbed to death while dancing at a gas station as he and friends filled up their car after a day at the beach. The attacker was a Muslim teen who was apparently “offended” by Sibley’s dancing, and the fact that he was shirtless. Via NYPost:
A man stabbed to death in a suspected anti-gay attack in Brooklyn was remembered as a talented, promising dancer Monday — as law enforcement sources said a 17-year-old high school student is being eyed in the crime.
O’Shae Sibley, 28, was allegedly attacked for “vogueing” — or performing a stylized modern dance routine — to Beyoncé’s hit “Renaissance” outside a gas station in Coney Island Saturday night, according to a pal who said he was present during the stabbing.
“They hated us cause we are gay!” Otis Pena, one of Sibley’s friends, fumed in a Facebook post, sharing grisly photos from the slaying. “[They were] screaming we Muslim and we don’t like gays!!!!! As we are innocently pumping gas and ya’ll decided to stab on one of us!!!”
