The teenager is now in police custody, according to CNN . Police believe the teen stabbed O’Shae Sibley, a man who was dancing and posing to a Beyonce song at a gas station with his friends on the day of the attack. A large group of men reportedly approached Mr Sibley and his friends and began hurling homophobic slurs at them. The slurs and harassment eventually caused a confrontation, according to an NYPD spokesperson. Otis Pena, a witness, told police one of the men stabbed his friend, Mr Sibley, in the torso. He died in the hospital. Police are investigating whether or not the fatal stabbing was a hate crime . Mr Pena claimed the men who attacked them allegedly said they were Muslims. ‘They hated us cause we are gay!’ Mr Pena, said 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!!!’ The friends were reportedly driving home after a beach day celebrating Mr Pena’s birthday when they stopped for gas. Mr Sibley was a professional dancer. His work appeared in music videos and was featured at New York City’s Lincoln Centre for the Peforming Arts.
