Beyonce Honors Dancer Who Was Stabbed In Homophobic Attack

Beyonce Pays Tribute To Dancer Who Was Stabbed In Homophobic Attack While Voguing To Her Song

We previously reported on a young black gay man who was killed in NYC over the weekend for voguing to Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ in public.

According to CBS News, O’Shae Sibley was at local gas station in Brooklyn with friends late Saturday night, filling up a car and blasting some Beyoncé music when a group of men approached them and told them to stop dancing.

The group of men began hurling slurs at the group and O’Shae ended up confronting them. The argument escalated and one of the weak a** men stabbed O’Shae, according to the police.

Just in, Beyonce has now paid tribute to the deceased dancer. Taking to her Instagram story she wrote; “Rest in Power O’Shea Sibley.”

Otis Pena, one O’Shae’s best friends, pressed on his wound to stop the bleeding before he was taken to a local hospital where he was sadly pronounced dead.

“They murdered him because he’s gay, because he stood up for his friends,” Otis said in a Facebook video posted hours after the senseless killing. “His name was O’Shae and you all killed him. You all murdered him right in front of me.”

Police sources say the NYPD has identified the suspect involved and it is now being investigated as a possible hate crime.
