"Smith had performed at an event called HellBENT at the famed 9:30 Club on the night of the attack. The venue shared the news of his assault on social media, writing, 'On Saturday night after performing at HellBENT, Bryan Smith aka The Barber Streisand was found beaten and unresponsive.' This message highlights Smith's significant impact on D.C.'s queer nightlife and hairstyling communities."
"The case remains classified as a Robbery. There is no indication at this time that hate/bias motivated this offense," said a spokesperson from MPD. The investigation is ongoing, but many in the community still express their fear."
"The amount of kickballers I see who are drunk walking home alone... they don't realize how dangerous it is. We should almost have a buddy system in D.C.," Dave Perruzza mentioned, emphasizing the immediate safety concerns for the LGBTQ+ community in nightlife areas.
