(NY Post) The 17-year-old who fatally stabbed dancer O’Shae Sibley at a Mobil station in Coney Island was slapped with murder and murder as a hate crime charges over “anti-gay” and “anti-black” statements, officials announced at a press conference Saturday.
With a group of Muslim leaders standing behind him, Mayor Adams said the murder was “clearly a hate crime,” but added “hate from the Muslim community against the LGBT community is not true.”
The teen, whose name was not released because he is a minor, knifed Sibley, 28, who was vogueing around 11 p.m. July 29 at a Mobil station on Coney Island Avenue, cops said.
The teen made hateful anti-gay and racist comments during a beef between his own group and a group that included Sibley, who was black and gay, an NYPD official said.
