Bryan Smith’s death is being mourned by the LGBTQ+ community in Washington, D.C.
Two assaults against gay men in Washington, D.C. Sunday are raising alarm about the growing number of high-profile cases of violence against LGBTQ+ people in the queer hub.
Salih Ali Mohammed Alhemoud, 30, was indicted Wednesday on six felony charges related to the kidnapping and assault of two trans women he met through Grindr.
Police in Melbourne said that the victims met their assailants on gay dating apps before they were “then allegedly assaulted, robbed, threatened and subjected to homophobic comments.”
Lamonte Mims and and Fantasy Decuir, both 27, were convicted Thursday in the 2017 killing of Ed French, 71.
The two are also accused of stealing tens of thousands of dollars and buying a car with the man’s credit card.
