Black queer dancer murdered in NYC
A professional Black queer dancer was murdered just after 11 p.m. Saturday night during a confrontation with a group of young Muslim men in the Midwood neighborhood of Brooklyn at a Mobil convenience store and gas station.
The New York Police Department’s 66th Precinct homicide investigators, along with detectives from the NYPD Hate Crime Task Force, are searching for a teenage suspect seen in surveillance video footage arguing with the victim, O’Shae Sibley, 28.
According to witnesses and the NYPD, Sibley and a group of his friends performed an impromptu voguing dance session while refueling after a day trip to the Jersey Shore.
The teenage suspect and several others had emerged from the convenience store and engaged Sibley using profanities and homophobic epithets.
