3 Men Arrested In Anti-Gay Shooting In Brooklyn<\/b>
\nTwo men<\/a> and a teenage<\/a> boy<\/a> were arrested Sunday for what authorities say was an anti-gay<\/a> attack culminating in the shooting of a man<\/a> in Brooklyn. <\/p>\n

The 22-year-old victim was dressed as a woman<\/a> when he was walking early Saturday morning with two friends on Broadway near Putnam Ave. in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, the New York Daily News reports<\/a>. The three suspects started shouting homophobic slurs at them, police said. <\/p>\n

An argument ensued before the suspects began chasing the two men<\/a> down the street. Matthew Smith, 21, allegedly opened fire, striking the victim in the buttocks. <\/p>\n

Shortly after the shooting, police officers chased down the suspects on foot, arresting all three. Smith was charged with first-degree assault and was also charged in a separate shooting that occurred Friday night, NBC New York reports<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The other two suspects — Cody Sigue, 22, and a 17-year-old boy<\/a>– have been charged with menacing in the third degree as a hate crime. <\/p>\n

The victim was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was treated and released. <\/p>\n

“[It] shows how gay<\/a> people can’t walk around in the street without someone saying something or doing something towards them,” 24-year-old Daquan Ruddock, a gay<\/a> resident of Brooklyn, told the Daily News. “It’s sad.”<\/p>\n

Back in 2008, Jose Sucuzhanay, an Ecuadoran man<\/a>, was beaten to death<\/a> in Bushwick by two assailants who allegedly yelled homophobic and anti-immigrant slurs during the attack. One of the assailants was convicted<\/a> of murder as a hate crime and was sentenced to 37 years to life in prison. <\/p>\n

The number of anti-gay<\/a> bias crimes in New York spiked<\/a> last year. According to the New York City Police Department, there were 29 such attacks from January 2013 to May 2013, more than double the attacks during the same period in 2012.<\/p>\n
