Ryerson graduate killed in potential hate crime

More than 1,000 people marched silently past campus last Sunday night, in honour of Christopher Skinner, a Ryerson graduate who was killed on Oct. 18 after being beaten by a group of men. With candles in hand, they headed to the spot where the graphics communications management student was murdered.

Witnesses say the assailants then got in their black SUV and drove over the 27-year-old before leaving him on the pavement at the intersection of Victoria and Adelaide Streets.

The murder has stirred speculation that Skinner, an openly gay man, may have been the victim of a hate crime.
