YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The murder of a missing transgender man from Minnesota, who officials say was tortured, killed and had his body dumped in a field in upstate New York, doesn't appear to be a hate crime, authorities said Sunday.

In a joint statement, New York State Police and Ontario County District Attorney James Ritts said there is no indication that Norquist's murder was a hate crime.

"We urge the community not to speculate into the motive behind the murder as we work to find justice for Sam," the statement reads. "To help alleviate the understandable concern his murder could be a hate crime, we are disclosing that Sam and his assailants were known to each other, identified as LGBTQ+, and at least one of the defendants lived with Sam in the time period leading up to the instant offense."
