Thomas Bashline Craig's List Murder

Did the DL ever discuss the Thomas Bashline Craig's List murder? Back in 2011, Bashline, a trainer for the Harlem Globetrotters, was killed by his hook-up in his home. In a move that belongs in the Internalized (Externalized?) Homophobic Hall of Fame, Bashline was hooking up with men while planning to propose to his long-time girlfriend. During a tryst with a guy he had met (and continued to meet) a year before, Bashline mentioned the girlfriend and the upcoming nuptials while calling the the hook-up homophobic slurs, causing said hook-up to snap and shoot Bashline (supposedly.)

Why was he seeing other people while in a relationship?

Because he wasn't out and was deeply ashamed he was gay, and wanted to have his cake and eat it ,too?

He's the guy who ruined Craigslist Personals for everybody.

R3, so it seems. For that alone I'm finding it hard to have any sympathy for him.
