CW: Violent Hate Crime, death, homophobic attack
From the article:
Sibley was a man known for his dance moves. On Monday, he was mourned by neighbors who believe he was the victim of a hate crime."He shows his colors. He's not afraid. But he doesn't go out there and say, 'Oh, I'm this and that.' But as soon as you see him you know that's a proud gay man," Hamilton said.
Surveillance video shows the victim involved in a dispute with a group of people outside the gas station on Saturday night. Witnesses said they were dancing when a man walked up to them and allegedly made homophobic comments. Police said the two groups of people argued, and that's when one man allegedly stabbed Sibley. One witness, who wanted to remain anonymous, said he tried to break up the argument.
"He pulled out a knife and he just stabbed him and he ran away," the witness said.
