The Tragic Murder Of Dancer O'Shae Sibley

According to further reporting from ABC7 News, O’Shae Sibley’s confrontation was captured on convenience store surveillance camera footage, seen above. In it, Sibley and friends are seen filling up on gas when an unnamed teenage male approaches the group. From there, a confrontation ensued, according to witnesses, which escalated as words were exchanged, resulting in Sibley’s murder. Witnesses identified the 17-year-old unnamed suspect as someone from the area.

Sibley’s friend, Otis Pena witnessed the incident and attempted life-saving measures at the scene before Sibley was transported to nearby Maimonides Medical Center and pronounced dead. In a Facebook post, Pena said Sibley was murdered, ‘because he’s gay, because he stood up for his friends … His name was O’Shae and you all killed him. You all murdered him right in front of me.”

New York Mayor Eric Adams also wrote on social media, “O’Shae Sibley’s life and beautiful spirit were cut short by homophobia. Bigotry can never take root in our city. Being a New Yorker means knowing and loving people of all backgrounds. We’ll bring justice for O’Shae’s family and loved ones. His dancing joy will live on.”
