Teen charged in murder of gay man

JAY STREET — Hate was on the docket Friday when an 18-year-old charged with intentional murder in the stabbing death of a 20-year-old gay man last spring appeared in Brooklyn Supreme Court on Wednesday. He appeared at a pre-trial hearing as the case moves toward a trial.

The defendant, Omar Willock, is charged with a hate crimes offense for the May 12, 2007 murder, a distinction that raises the charge against him to first-degree murder, according to Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes.

At Willock’s arraignment last spring, Hynes told reporters that Willock “shouted anti-gay remarks” at Roberto Duncanson, taunting him even as he tried to get away from Willock.
