 A 17-year-old suspect pleaded not guilty to the deadly stabbing of a New York City dancer that investigators believe was motivated by hate. The violent death happened on July 29 after a brutal confrontation at a gas station in Midwood, Brooklyn, when a group of gay black men got into an argument with a group teenagers. The men were returning from a trip to the beach, and were dancing to a Beyonce song before the fight took place.

Eventually, the suspect pulled out a knife and stabbed Sibley on the side of the chest, puncturing his heart. According to witnesses, the attacker hurled anti-LGBT and anti-black slurs at Sibley as he was killed. Sibley was rushed to Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, where he was pronounced dead. The senseless murder has since struck the black and LGBTQ communities of New York City. Over 200 people attended his funeral, which was held at an historic opera house in Philadelphia.
