Red wing, min. (KTTC) – Proponents gathered at the St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in a red wing on Monday night after the violent murder of Sam Nordquist.
According to New York State Police captain Kelly Swift, Nordquist family reports that he disappeared on February 9 after more than a month without communication.
“Our investigation revealed a deeply disturbing abuse model, which ultimately led to Sam’s tragic death,” Swift said.
Nordquist was found dead in Central New York on February 12th. He had left Minnesota last fall to visit his girlfriend. Shocking and tragic news for her best friend at Jessica Frechet high school.
“I started to think that maybe the person who did this to him. He lures him there with much darker intentions than what he initially thought, said Frechet.
Five people were charged on February 14 for the torture and murder of Nordquist. According to police, the 24-year-old transsexual man has suffered a month of physical and psychological abuse.
Frechette and loved ones do not stick to the loss of a dear soul.
“Sam was definitely a fun, loving man. He had the most kind of heart, and if he could help you in some way, shape or shape, he would definitely do it, “Frechet said.
Gofundme to cover the cost of family travel and return home alone, raised more than three -quarters of its goal of $ 140,000.
“This definitely shows that Red Wing is really sticking and loves not only its colorful people, but also LGBtqia members,” Frechet said.
The District Prosecutor’s Office of the New York County Ontario does not manage the Nordquist murder as a crime of hatred on Sunday.
