In Philadelphia, the slain dancer and choreographer O’Shae Sibley was laid to rest Tuesday. A suspect has been charged with murder as a hate crime; he shouted racist and homophobic slurs at Sibley and his friends while they were dancing at a Brooklyn gas station last month. Sibley’s loved ones paid tribute to the 28-year-old dancer at his funeral service held at Philadelphia’s Met Opera House.

Otis Pena: “O’Shae had the power to touch everyone’s heart, whoever met him. O’Shae was a beacon of light for a lot of us in our community, that was engulfed in darkness. But O’Shae — O’Shae rejoiced. O’Shae was O’Shae.”
