'Sister Wives' Recap: Kody's Daughter Gwendlyn Comes Out as Bisexual, Teases Mom Christine About Being Gay

Police detectives in New York City are investigating a spate of violent assaults and killings that have involved members of the LGBTQ+ community. A gay man’s mother spoke out against the district attorney last week after her son was robbed and killed under suspicious circumstances.  John Umberger, 33, of Washington, D.C., was drugged, robbed, and murdered after a night out in New York visiting gay bars in Hell’s Kitchen earlier this year. Umberger’s mother, Linda Clarey, accused the prosecutor of taking his time investigating her son’s death. A spokesperson for the New York City Office of the Deputy Commissioner for Public Information told The Advocate in an email that the Police Department’s Crime Against Persons Unit and the Homicide Squads of Manhattan North and South are investigating the rash of violence in the past several months where people were robbed, assaulted, or killed.“Some of the victims are members of the LGBTQIA+ community, however, it is believed that not all of the victims are,” the statement read in part.
