O'Shae Sibley, a dancer who was stabbed at a gas station in Brooklyn, will be laid to rest after a wake and funeral at Philadelphia's Metropolitan Opera House. Sibley, who had moved to New York to pursue his dancing career, was described by his sister as a light in the darkness. His death has left a void in their lives.
He lived in Philadelphia before moving to New York to pursue his dancing career."For my brother to no longer be here, it's like the night without the moon," Kelly said during his vigil.
Sibley's best friend was there when police say homophobic and anti-Black slurs were shouted at them before it turned deadly. "There's no hate in my heart, it's all love. And unfortunately, it takes a person to open their heart," said Otis Peña.ALSO READ |
