Buffalo Gay Man Murdered

Police in Buffalo, N.Y., are investigating whether the murder of a gay man and a recent series of antigay attacks are related.

Christopher Rudow, a 32-year-old Geico employee and DJ, was found dead in his apartment Tuesday, according to WIVB-TV. A report revealed that he died of blunt force trauma.

The murder, which remains under investigation, arrives after two attacks in the Buffalo area on New Year's Eve that may have been motivated by hate.
