Beyonce is honoring the life of O’Shae Sibley, a fan who was killed while dancing to her music at a gas station in Brooklyn.
It was reported by The New York Times that O’Shae was fatally stabbed on Saturday night (July 29) while stopping to get gas at the Mobil station in Midwood around 11:15pm.
O’Shae allegedly was voguing to the music of Beyonce when he was approached by a group of young men who began yelling at him with homophobic slurs. He was stabbed by one of the men during an argument and a spokesperson for the NYPD confirmed that the “incident is being investigated as a possible biased incident.”

One witness told police, “He pulled out a knife and he just stabbed him and he ran away.” No suspects have been arrested yet.
O’Shae, who friends say was openly gay, was stabbed in the torso and later died at the hospital.
“They were dancing. They were filling up on gas, but they were voguing, doing crazy, I can promise you. I wasn’t there, but I can tell you just from what I saw that’s just how they are. He comes out here and stops the music and just starts dancing and voguing and carrying on,” O’Shae‘s friend and neighbor Beckenbaur Hamilton told CBS News. “He shows his colors. He’s not afraid. But he doesn’t go out there and say, ‘Oh, I’m this and that.’ But as soon as you see him you know that’s a proud gay man.”
Beyonce took to her website on Tuesday (August 1) to post a tribute.
“REST IN POWER O’SHEA SIBLEY,” she wrote on her page.
