(New York, USA) - Omar Willock, 17, was charged with second-degree murder as a hate crime and other offenses in the May 12 attack on Roberto Duncanson, the Brooklyn district attorney's office said in a release. Duncanson, 20, was walking in the Crown Heights section of the borough when Willock began shouting anti-gay slurs and accusing Duncanson, who was gay, of looking at him, prosecutors said. When Duncanson passed that way again later, Willock again berated him and started a fist fight before stabbing him, they said. It was unclear how Willock knew Duncanson was gay, they said. Willock was being held without bail until his next court appearance. An assistant at his lawyer's office said they had no comment in the case.
