Teenage suspect in fatal stabbing of dancer O’Shae Sibley while moderating to a Beyoncé song at a Brooklyn gas station faces murder charges

A 17-year-old suspect in the fatal stabbing of dancer O’Shae Sibley has been charged with murder as a hate crime and criminal possession of weapons, officials announced Saturday.

Sibley, 28, was stabbed to death at a gas station in Brooklyn last weekend after doing the “vogue” dance move to a Beyoncé song.

A friend of the dancer said he was surrounded by a group of men who shouted anti-LGBTQ slurs after he started dancing, leading to the tragic stabbing.

Joseph Kenny, assistant chief in the NYPD’s detective bureau, said the arrested teen is the only person charged in connection with the murder.

He did not name the person arrested, but said he is from Brooklyn and attends a nearby high school.

O’Shae was a talented dancer and choreographer from Philadelphia

Officials did not say whether the arrested teen will be charged as an adult after arranging his surrender through a lawyer on Friday.

Kenny noted that the decision was made to charge the teen with a hate crime “based on the group’s statements at large.”

“You have a lot of anti-gay statements and a lot of derogatory statements – anti-black – from the group and from the defendant himself,” he said.

The New York mayor also spoke at the press conference, decrying the murder as “something that was clearly a hate crime.”

“This is a city where you are free to express yourself, and that expression should never end with violence of any kind,” Adams added.
