On the eve of World AIDS Day, one of Jamaica's best-known AIDS activists was murdered in an apparent anti-gay attack.
Steve Harvey, an openly gay 30-year-old, and his two roommates were home when Jamaican police say at least four armed gunmen broke into their house.
The men demanded money and took several valuables from the home. According to Christian Aid, an organization that worked with Harvey, one of the men said to Harvey and his roommates, "We hear you are gay." The roommates allegedly denied the accusation. Harvey remained silent.
The gunmen tied up the two roommates and abducted Harvey, driving him away in his company car. Jamaican police said they found Harvey's body in a rural area, miles from his home. There were gunshot wounds to his head and back.
