A 16-year-old non-binary student from El Paso, died following a “brutal bathroom altercation” in Oklahoma, according to Borderland Rainbow Center, a LGBTQ non-profit organization in El Paso.
The non-profit says Nex Benedict, 16, died from their injuries resulting from the altercation at Owasso High School located in Owasso, Oklahoma.
“As a community, we are deeply saddened by this loss. Questions arose as the school faced criticism for failing to call first responders or notify police,” the non-profit said.
