Dancer killed while dancing at petrol station in ‘homophobic hate crime’

A dancer named O’Shae Sibley was fatally stabbed in a suspected homophobic attack – he is described as a beloved dancer with a contagious smile

A dancer was fatally stabbed in a suspected homophobic attack after performing a dance routine to Beyonce’s hit “renaissance” at a gas station.

O’Shae Sibley, 28, who has been described as a “cherished and devoted” dancer was allegedly attacked by a group of men while performing a routine in the street at the gas station in Coney Island Saturday night, according to a friend.

No arrests have currently been made and his attacker remains at large. The suspected killer, who is said to be Muslim, allegedly told O’Shae and his friends that he was offended because they had been dancing shirtless in their swimming trunks, sources previously said.

The alleged attack is being treated as a possible hate crime. His friend, Otis Pena, who was there at the time, wrote in a Facebook post : “[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!!!”
