A 17-year-old boy in Michigan was arrested and will be charged as an adult in the fatal stabbing of an older gay man whom the teen allegedly targeted because of his sexuality, Detroit police announced Tuesday.

The teen was charged with murder in the death of 64-year-old Howard Brisendine, according to a news release the Wayne County prosecutors office shared with HuffPost.

Prosecutors said the teen was just weeks away from turning 18 when he targeted Brisendine through an online dating app, according to the news release. Authorities said he went to Brisendines home in Detroit on Sept. 24 and stabbed the man, took his car keys and drove off in his vehicle.
