Murder of Sakia Gunn
Sakia Gunn (May 26, 1987 – May 11, 2003) was a 15-year-old African American lesbian who was murdered in what has been deemed a hate crime in Newark, New Jersey. Richard McCullough, an African American man, was charged with her death and sentenced to 20 years in prison.〔Kleinknecht, William. "Lesbian Teen's Family Confronts Killer", ''The Star-Ledger'', April 22, 2005.〕 In 2008 a documentary was released about Gunn's murder, titled ''Dreams Deferred: The Sakia Gunn Film Project''.〔http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/02/18/remembering-a-newark-hate-crime/〕
==The murder==
On the night of May 11, 2003, Gunn was returning from a night out in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, with her friends. While waiting for the #1 New Jersey Transit bus at the corner of Broad and Market Streets in downtown Newark, Gunn and her friends were propositioned by two African American men. The women rejected their advances and declared themselves to be lesbians. The men attacked; Gunn fought back, and one of the men, Richard McCullough, stabbed her in the chest. Both men immediately fled the scene in their vehicle. After one of Gunn's friends flagged down a passing driver, she was taken to nearby University Hospital, where she died.〔Meenan, Mick.
