Transgender man Sam Nordquist was found dead in a field in New York after enduring prolonged abuse from late December to February. Authorities confirmed that Nordquist and his assailants knew each other and identified as LGBTQ+. One of the suspects even lived with Nordquist prior to the murder. Five people from different cities in New York have been charged with second-degree murder in connection to the case and are being held without bail. However, authorities stated that there is no indication that Nordquist’s murder was a hate crime. The investigation is ongoing, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled with grand jury action expected soon. Nordquist’s family has established a GoFundMe to cover expenses related to the case. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward to help with the investigation. Sam’s family, including his sister and mother, are traveling to New York to meet with detectives. Further details can be found in the full press release issued by the Ontario County District Attorney and the New York State Police.
