Beyoncé Honors O'Shae Sibley, Gay Man Killed Voguing to Her Song
Beyoncé paid tribute to O’Shea Sibley on Tuesday on her website. Sibley was stabbed to death at a gas station near Coney Island over the weekend.
Sibley, a 28-year-old gay man who was a professional dancer, and some friends were reportedly dancing and voguing to Beyoncé’s music when a group of men approached them. The group of men allegedly called Sibley and his friends antigay slurs.
After a scuffle, one of the men from the other group stabbed Sibley. He died after being taken to a local hospital.
The suspect, who police say is 17 years old, ran from the scene. The entire incident was captured on the gas station’s surveillance camera. The case is being investigated as a potential hate crime by the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force.
On Tuesday, the Grammy-winning icon’s website read “Rest in Power O’Shea Sibley.”
