NEW YORK (AP) — Police have arrested a 17-year-old high school student on a hate-motivated murder charge in the fatal stabbing of a professional dancer during an altercation between two groups of friends at a New York City gas station last weekend.
Police took the teenager into custody Friday in connection with the killing of the 28-year-old O'Shae Sibley, who was gay.
Authorities declined to release the defendant's name. Sibley was fatally stabbed in the torso on July 29 at a Brooklyn gas station.
His death has sparked outrage and prompted tributes from celebrities including Beyoncé and Spike Lee.
