"Police are investigating the shooting death of a high school basketball star as a possible anti-gay hate crime, as her two accused killers were charged with murder and weapons charges on Wednesday.
Tayshana Murphy, who according to sources was a lesbian, was killed in Harlem last month after being chased into her apartment building by a group of men.
The Hate Crimes Task Force is now involved because of anti-gay graffiti found in her building.
In the meantime, Robert Cartagena and Tyshawn Brockington, who were arrested in South Carolina in connection with her death, were extradited to New York. They were arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on Wednesday on charges of murder and criminal use of a gun.
Murphy was a senior at Murray Bergtraum High School."
