Openly Gay Mayoral Candidate Was Beaten, Set On Fire And Dumped Near A River
The family of Marco McMillian, a 33 year-old openly gay candidate for mayor of Clarksdale, Mississippi released a statement yesterday saying that he was beaten and set on fire before his lifeless body was dumped near a river. Last Thursday, police arrested a 22-year old man who, like McMillian, is African-American and charged him with the mayoral candidate’s murder. Although the motive for the murder remains unknown, the circumstances of the murder suggest a possible anti-gay hate crime. According to the family, “[w]e feel this was not a random act of violence based on the condition of the body when it was found.”](http://24.media.tumblr.com/f9317952f9e96a15ae47858cd3f76ba4/tumblr_mj7sxiTu221rliyqgo1_500.png)
