A 16-year-old nonbinary student in a small Oklahoma town died after what local police said was a "physical altercation" in a high school bathroom, sparking outcry from LGBTQ rights groups who assert the student was attacked because of their gender identity.
The severity of the fight and student Nex Benedict's death a day later have shrouded the Owasso law enforcement and the school district in nationwide scrutiny, according to The New York Times.
