A gay man was tragically killed by a stray bullet while walking his dog early Monday morning in the Hamilton Heights neighborhood of Manhattan.
The NYDN reports: “Winston McKay, 40, was cut down just after he and husband Terry Solomon wrapped up a joyous celebration with friends that was filled with happy memories of the day the two met nearly two decades ago. … McKay stepped out with their pet puggle Milton early Monday, content in the afterglow of their just-wrapped anniversary bash in Donnellan Square, the city park across the street from their home.”
