“He was a person who was loved, who was cared for, who loved others with all in his heart,” one close friend said of O’Shae Sibley.
The suspect and several friends are also said to have uttered homophobic slurs. Surveillance footage shows the suspect filming Sibley with a cellphone as if it were something disgraceful. He then had what police believe was a knife in his hand.
“They hated us cause we are gay!” Pena wrote on Facebook. “Screaming we Muslim and we don’t like gays!!!!! As we are innocently pumping gas and y’all decided to stab one of us!!!” Smith collected himself and said, “We’re more than just a group of individuals… We were the family that he chose… He was a person who was loved, who was cared for, who loved others with all in his heart… And I just want to thank you guys for coming out to celebrate O’Shea.”
“We invoke your name and honor you today O’Shea Sibley, family, friend, someone to someone. Watch over us O’Shea Sibley in your place among your creator.”“No religion justifies killing anybody,” he said“Then they turn around and do the same thing,” he said.
