    I’m lazy, so I just stole this from Wiki.

    Matthew Wayne Shepard (December 1, 1976 – October 12, 1998) was an American student at the University of Wyoming who was beaten, tortured, and left to die near Laramie on the night of October 6, 1998.[1] He was taken by rescuers to Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado, where he died six days later from severe head injuries received during the attack.

      Thank you! What a horrible crime and I can’t believe people would deface the grave of a victim like this…

        It’s the very type of people that would murder him would also deface a grave. Religion is a bane on humanity, and zealots are religion at is core essence.
