Clifton Hooker, a 32-year-old gay man in Chicago, has been arrested and is currently being held on $1 million bail after stabbing his boyfriend to death during a fight about cheating.
He’s charged with the first-degree murder of 26-year-old Alphonso Guinyard, who he’d been dating since 2014.
The Chicago Times reports:
About 8:45 a.m. Sunday, Guinyard visited Hooker at his home in the 3400 block of West Polk to talk about their relationship, prosecutors said. At some point, Guinyard demanded to see Hooker’s phone because he believed Hooker was cheating on him.
They began arguing and Hooker told Guinyard to leave, prosecutors said. Guinyard didn’t leave and Hooker called 911 to report an “unwanted person” in his home.
After he called 911, the argument escalated into a fight on the first floor, prosecutors said. Hooker left from the fight, went upstairs to the second floor, and got a knife from the kitchen.
Hooker went back downstairs, and when they began fighting again, he stabbed Guinyard in the back, prosecutors said.
Guinyard was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said.
After killing his boyfriend, Hooker called 911 and confessed to the crime.

The only thing bad about being gay is dating gay men

A very sad story.

@ScottOnEarth:
Wrong. We don’t have to behave like heteros do in romantic relationships, which is one of the best things about being gay.

Can’t understand how someone gets this upset with anyone. I got into a physical altercation with one of my partners.. He started it and I ended it, with a pop to his eye to stop him from hitting me again. After that, it was over. He keep saying he was sorry. Sorry does change the fact that he was anger enough to put his hands on me.

Love when Queerty looks up crimes involving black men all the time to post. This is news because crime doesn’t happen often all around the world and it totally enriches our lives to know about it.

Crimes of passion are so damn stupid. What kind of love makes you completely lose your mind and murder the person you share your life with? I don’t know… if you feel yourself getting that angry, fucking leave. Just a shame, man… one dead, and the other likely to be in prison for life or damn near life.

Stabbed him over allegations? Maybe just walk away from him.

@Captain Obvious: It is disturbing.
OTOH, I have to give Queerty props for the number of posts featuring images of or about black LGBTIQ people or allies over the last 2 or so days. I count 8 if you subtract the hateful minister and this story.
More of this and of other men and people of color (trans included), including Asian Americans and Native Americans, would be great too.

Why would you want to go to jail and have your life permanently ruined because your bf allegedly cheated on you?
Just leave the S.O.B. and continue living your life.
Jealousy is so stupid and irrational. I can understand if you’re married and all your finances and your entire life are combined and whatnot, but still…

I could never be with a man in a monogamous relationship because I couldn’t be faithful it is only fair to that other person that I don’t enter into such a relationship.

Am I missing something here?
