Daily News | Suspect in custody in the death of Philadelphia dancer O’Shea Sibley
Sibley, 28, was stabbed the night of July 29 while at a Brooklyn gas station located only blocks from where he lived. He was returning from a birthday party with a group of friends at the time.
Sibley and his friends were reportedly playing Beyoncé from the car and began voguing, a dance created and primarily performed by Black and Latinx LGBTQ people that imitates fashion models. A group of men approached them, and told them to stop dancing, and that they did not want to see gay men dancing in their neighborhood,Sibley was found by police with a stab wound to his torso, and died a short time later at a nearby hospital, MSNBC reports.
A North Philadelphia native, Sibley moved to New York before the coronavirus pandemic, hoping to find better dance opportunities in the city. As a young man, Sibley studied dance at famed local dance school the Philadelphia Dance Company, or Philadanco, until just before his move to New York, founder Joan Myers Brown previously told The Inquirer.
Even after leaving Philadelphia, Sibley stayed in touch with her. At one point, Myers Brown told The Inquirer, Sibley told her, “I just want to be famous.”
