Philadelphia Dancer Killed in Confrontation at NYC Gas Station, Father Left With So Many Unanswered questions


The father of a young man from Philadelphia, who tragically lost his life in what may be a hate-driven crime in New York City, is desperately seeking answers as he copes with the unimaginable loss of his son.


O'Shea Sibley, a 28-year-old openly gay man, was fatally stabbed during a confrontation at a Brooklyn gas station while he and his friends were dancing to music. 

The group of men they encountered allegedly used gay slurs and demanded they stop dancing. 

When Sibley attempted to speak to them, he was brutally stabbed multiple times and later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. 


His father, Jake Kelly, fondly remembers O'Shea as a "peacemaker" who always tried to defuse tense situations.

Sibley moved from Philadelphia to New York City in pursuit of his passion for dance and choreography, which he had developed during his teenage years at the renowned Philadelphia Dance Company, Philadanco. 

He was a young man with aspirations to explore new heights and opportunities.

The NYPD is investigating this tragic incident as a possible hate crime, sparking outrage among the LGBTQ+ community. 


They argue that violence against gay Americans has been on the rise, leaving families like Sibley's devastated and questioning the reasons behind such senseless violence.

As Jake Kelly struggles to comprehend the circumstances that led to his son's death, he admits having no clear answers. 

He emphasizes the importance of taking each day one step at a time to cope with the immense grief and loss.

In another tragic event, a 10-year-old was found dead in a garbage can and investigators say he has been dead for 7 months. See shocking detail here
