More arrests in
New Mexico gay bashing

More arrests have been made in the July beating of an 18-year-old gay man in Edgewood, N.M. Leroy Segura, 21, has turned himself in to police and faces several charges, including kidnapping and aggravated battery causing great bodily injury, according to KRQE TV in Albuquerque. Cecily Gonzales, 16, was arrested Saturday and faces similar charges.

In late July, police reported that Segura, Gonzales, and two men already in custody kidnapped the victim following a house party, tied him up, and repeatedly beat him because he is gay. (The Advocate)
