Beyoncé paid tribute to O'Shae Sibley, one of her fans who was fatally stabbed at a gas station in Brooklyn after dancing to the singer's Rennaisance album.
On the homepage of Bey's website, a brief message pops up that reads, "Rest in Power O'Shae Sibley." Several of Sibley's close friends commented on the tribute on Facebook.
"Brother the Queen has spoken on your behalf !!!," Darius Hollywood Moss wrote. "You would be smiling sooo hard right now!!!" Otis Pena, who witnessed the killing and held Sibley as he was dying, wrote, "Everyone will know your name O'shae."
The touching note comes after Sibley was killed by a group of men that confronted him and his friends after he was dancing to Beyoncé's music outside a gas station in the Big Apple.
The incident occurred on Saturday night when Sibley, who's also a professional dancer and choreographer, and his friends were putting gas in their car and voguing to tracks off Renaissance when several men allegedly confronted them with gay slurs and demanded they stop dancing.
A physical altercation led to Sibley getting stabbed, and he was taken to a hospital, where he died. Sibley reportedly told the group of men to stop using gay slurs and said, "There is nothing wrong with being gay."
"They murdered him because he's gay, because he stood up for his friends," Sibley's friend Otis Pena said in a Facebook video following the altercation. No one has been arrested yet, but police are looking for a 17-year-old they believe is responsible for the killing.
