Five Charged in Brutal Torture Killing of Transgender Man
Five individuals—Precious Arzuaga, Patrick Goodwin, Kyle Sage, Jennifer Quijano, and Emily Motyka—face second-degree murder charges in the death of Sam Nordquist, a 24-year-old transgender man reported missing on February 9th. Authorities allege Nordquist endured over a month of repeated violence and torture before his body was discovered in a field. State police described the case as exceptionally brutal, currently investigating whether a hate crime was committed and the relationships between the victim and suspects. All five suspects are in custody awaiting arraignment.
