Oklahoma Man May
Have Been Victim of Gay Hate Crime

Police said a 62-year-old Oklahoma man whose body was found in a ditch may have been the victim of a hate crime, according to the Associated Press.

Investigators have not named a suspect in the death of Steven Domer, of Edmond. But they recently searched the home of Darrell Madden, a McClain County man who allegedly belongs to a white supremacist gang that could be connected to the killing.

Domer was last seen on October 26 in what one officer called "a gay neighborhood" of northwest Oklahoma City. A witness told officers he and Domer approached two men in an area with several gay bars. The witness had Domer drive him home because he was "uncomfortable with the situation," but he said he thought Dolmer returned to meet the men later.

Domer's body was found on November 4. His body was bound with duct tape, and a wire hanger was around his neck, according to an affidavit filed by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. His car was found burned on October 30. (The Advocate)
