Lawyer says teen accused of stabbing gay man to death is “a good Christian boy”

The 17-year-old who was arrested in connection to the stabbing death of a gay man is apparently “a good Christian boy,” according to his attorney.

According to witnesses and security camera footage, 28-year-old professional dancer and gay man O’Shea Sibley was voguing to a song from Beyoncé’s Rennaissance album in pink shorts at a gas station in Brooklyn on July 29 when a group of young men told him to stop. One witness said that the young men cited their Muslim faith as a reason that Sibley had to stop dancing, and others said that they used anti-gay and anti-Black slurs.

One of the teens stabbed Sibley in the side, piercing his heart. He later died at Maimonides Medical Center.
