Gabriel Roman 2018 Stabing

Roman and his partner Huizar were subject to a homophobic hate crime when a man attacked them and stabbed them with a knife on a Saturday while the two were walking home from a nightclub.

Confirming the attack, the two were returning from the Church nightclub when a man shouted “fuckin’ fa**ots” at them, they said. “We were just walking, and I guess he didn’t like what he saw,” Huizar told TV station KUSA. “That we were holding hands.” The suspect took a man identified as 24-year-old Dylan Payne into custody.

After the verbal attack, the man went on to stab Huizar in the neck, and as Roman tried to stop the attack, he was stabbed in the hand and back. At the time, the two created a GoFundMe to help cater to their medical expenses. The page’s description reads, “We were just holding hands, minding our business.” They further wrote that their injuries have left them unable to work. “We have hospital bills that need to be paid along with other utilities.”
