A man stabbed to death in a suspected anti-gay attack in Brooklyn was remembered as a talented, promising dancer Monday — as law enforcement sources said a 17-year-old Muslim high school student is being eyed in the crime.
NY Post (h/t Nita) O’Shae Sibley, 28, was allegedly attacked for “vogueing” — or performing a stylized modern dance routine — to Beyoncé’s hit “Renaissance” outside a gas station in Coney Island Saturday night, according to a pal who said he was present during the stabbing.
“They hated us cause we are gay!” Otis Pena, one of Sibley’s friends, fumed in a Facebook post, sharing grisly photos from the slaying.
Sibley was killed during a brawl that broke out between two groups of men around 11 p.m. at a Mobil gas station on Coney Island Avenue — which was caught on surveillance video obtained by The Post. The case is being investigated as a possible hate crime, police have said.
Sources on Monday said cops were looking for a 17-year-old boy who was captured on surveillance footage fighting with Sibley before he was stabbed in the chest, and then taking off in a black SUV. The suspected killer, who was said to be Muslim, allegedly told Sibley and his pals that he was offended because they had been dancing shirtless in their swimming trunks, sources previously said.
In a Facebook Live video, Pena said that he, Sibley and some other friends were driving home after celebrating his birthday at the beach, when they decided to stop at the Mobil station located just two blocks from his house. Pena said Sibley, his best friend of 15 years and “brother,” was killed in front of him.
Pena uploaded distressing images showing his hand coated in his butchered friend’s blood, and even more gore staining the ground where Sibley had been knifed to death.
Last year, Sibley was part of “An Eclectic Dance to the Music of Time” — a video project by contemporary artist Jacolby Satterwhite that was featured in Lincoln Center’s David Geffen Hall.
He starred in six music video directed by his long-time friend and collaborator Kemar Jewel, who’d known Sibley from age 16 and came up with him in the black and Latino underground LGBTQ+ subculture known as the Ballroom scene.
“He was a bright eyed and goofy young man who had talent beyond anything I’d seen before,” Jewel wrote on Facebook.“He could sing, he could do hip hop, jazz, ballet, tap, anddddddd he was an incredible voguer! That’s how we became close.”
Chilling video from the gas station obtained by The Post showed the brawl that erupted with the group of men who encountered Sibley and his companions there. The two sides exchanged words, before the dispute turned physical after a brief lull.
Sibley, dressed in neon-pink swimming trunks, is seen standing behind a black SUV seemingly in shock after being knifed. He disappears from view as his friends and bystanders rush to his side — and the assailants begin to flee.Sibley was taken to Maimonides Medical Center, but he could not be saved.

It’s only a matter of time before Islam starts murdering them en mass. In this case, I’m firmly on the side of this gay man. Islam is a cancer to every living thing, including animals – and do NOT belong in America or any western nation. I’ve often wondered how Biden could allow mass Islamic immigration (he’s been doing this very quietly) into the U.S., and at the same time push for LGBTQ rights. So, Biden, what are you going to do about this?
BareNakedIslam says
Biden is too busy locking up white Christians and by the time Muslims start killing gays in large numbers, Biden will be dead.

Oopsie daisies! Demonrats forgot brown don’t like other browns…and are NOT “tolerant” like a brainwashed karen/beta cuck.

Because he’s a Muslim and a minor, trying him as an adult would be “Islamophobic”. He’ll get a year or two in juvenile detention and .deradicalization therapy’. which is a woke joke.
BareNakedIslam says
No doubt.

BareNakedIslam says
Of course not, Muslims are a protected class in the UK.

Frankly though, isn’t it time for the gays and feminazis to stand against this scourge?
What am I thinking? Average IQ in America is 95 and declining.
