This happened in Western NY a few towns over from where I grew up. 

The transgender hate spewed by Trump and republicans led to this. 

https://www.thelcn.com/news/update-lima-teen-among-5-charged-in-connection-with-murder-of-missing-transgender-man/article_11ed2e64-ebaa-11ef-a9c7-4fc507d7d22d.html

CANANDAIGUA — Sam Nordquist, a 24-year-old transgender man who was reported missing in February, was tortured repeatedly for more than a month before he was killed, according to state police.

Five people, including a Lima teenager, have been charged with his murder, according to state police

From early December 2024 to February 2025, Nordquist was subjected to “repeated acts of violence and torture which ultimately led to his death,” said Capt. Kelly Swift, head of Troop E’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation.

Swift said state police had not ruled out the possibility that hate crime charges could be filed in the case. She said at a Friday press conference that is part of the ongoing investigation.

Nordquist is originally from Minnesota and traveled to the Finger Lakes area last September. He was last known to be staying at the motel. He was reported missing Feb. 9 after his family requested a welfare check.

Human remains believed to be Nordquist's were discovered Feb. 13 in a field off Payne Road in the town of Benton, Yates County. The field is about 20 miles from the motel.

The five people arrested moved the body from the motel to cover up the murder, Swift said.

“In my 20-year law enforcement career, this is one of the most horrific crimes I’ve ever investigated,” Swift said.

The five individuals were arrested Feb. 13 and charged with second-degree murder under the depraved indifference statute, troopers said. They are:

Precious N. Arzuaga, 38, of Canandaigua.

Emily Jean Motyka, 19, of Lima.

Jennifer A. Quijano, 30, of Geneva.

Kyle R. Sage, 33, of Canandaigua.

Patrick A. Goodwin, 30, Canandaigua.

Goodwin was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2015 for 1st degree criminal sexual act and 1st degree sexual abuse, according to state prison records. He was released in 2023.

He went to prison for having sex with a 7-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl, according to the state sex offender’s registry.

Sage was sentenced to two to four years in state prison in 2022 for 4th degree grand larceny and 1st degree dissemination of indecent material to a minor. He got out in 2024.

Ritts said "the facts and the circumstances of this crime are beyond depraved."

"This is by far the worst homicide investigation that our office has ever been a part of," Ritts said. "It is an ongoing investigation, so we are necessarily limited in the things that we can talk about. But no human being should have to endure what Sam endured."

Family members of Nordquist told KTSP-TV in St. Paul, Minn., and WROC-TV in Rochester that he had traveled to the Finger Lakes area from an online relationship.

Kayla Nordquist, his sister, told KTSP-TV in a telephone interview while the family traveled to New York that she did not trust the person Sam Nordquist was traveling to meet "and I begged Sam not to go meet her, but he felt that he was in love."

I had thought about posting that yesterday in the LGBT thread, but couldn't bring myself to do it. 

Somehow I don't think a Matthew Shepard level of public awakening is going to happen because of this. Sigh. 

This is America

I wasn’t sure where to post it. It might be a good idea to post it there, as well. More people need to know about this horrible crime.

Goodwin had already served a prison sentence for having sex with 7 and 9 year old children. Got 10 years, served 8.  Would not have been out yet if full term served.

 

These are mortally fucked up people.

God forbid people have the nerve to exist as themselves.  
 

Infuriated and heartbroken doesn’t even begin to describe how this makes me feel. 

Wasn’t Arzuaga dating the person that was murdered?

I wasn’t sure where to put it. Since trump and republicans are pushing the idea that transgender people shouldn’t exist, don’t deserve any rights, or are sub-human, I posted it here. An admin is free to move it to a different forum.

There is an exact term for this:

Stochastic terrorism, the repeated use of hate speech or other vilifying, dehumanizing rhetoric by a political leader or other public figure that inspires one or more of the figure’s supporters to commit hate crimes or other acts of violence against a targeted person, group, or community.”

Anyone arguing Republicans aren’t guilty of stochastic terrorism is fucking divorced from reality.

You see, being a pedo isn't nearly as bad as being a trans person in Amerikkka.  Musk out front should have told you.

They will celebrate it.  Probably with child porn....

Nobody is celebrating a murder, the energy to do something about it IS directly related to how relatable they are though

After letting the family members beat him he should be left just enough alive to be finished off by a badger. How in the heck was this guy ever released after sexually assaulting two children? I mean how does this happen? Jesus tapdancing Christ New York he should’ve been left to rot in prison for life in solitary.

That they give not one fuck about politics. The criminal history screams it. The biggest thing I wondered from the pics was how the guy from  Land of the Lost managed to procreate all this time.

I'd argue that most common clay people who voted for Trump don't give one fuck about politics. But they sure do like the idea of people they don't like being punished.

Zero reasoning to argue against that.  I see it every day.

 

That being said, trying to connect the "Girls basketball should be bio girls playing against bio girls" with "We are the lowest forms of humanity and barely qualify on the front, so we will torture and kill another innocent person" is tiresome and just freaking lazy.

That was my question on the OP when they dropped the trump line.  What's the connection?

and by asking that, I'm just inquiring as to what political connection there is.  These people suck and are the lowest form of life as we know it, and acted against a trans person, so all folks who might not agree 100% with a certain position are a threat,  so THAT's the connection, amIright?

That's fair. And really I was just commenting on their mugshots. That mixture of dumb faces/expressions and possible inbreeding is how I picture every militia meeting.

LOL.

Trans people are specifically targeted and demonized by the trump administration as sick and dangerous and sex offender creeps. 

You don't see how that could have motivated these very fine people?

Stochastic terrorism is a favorite tool of fascists. Read a history book, slorch.

ahhh.  the new racism... and a shot at me.  so on fucking point.

Giving these folks political awareness is a fucking huge leap, IMHO.  That isn't to say the hatred doesn't exist.  I just don't see the inclinations being drawn unnecessarily here.  It's politically expedient.  The animals in question don't give a fuck who is in DC.

I do also agree this should be in DT, if not for the political conjecture.

Oh they’ve never followed politics in their lives, but it’s not limited to “common clay” people. It’s anyone who regularly and exclusively consumes right wing media in general. That shit ain’t “political commentary.” That shit is pure theatre. It’s professional wrestling done in very poor taste.

Except this is poor taste professional wrestling done the old way. This is maintaining kayfabe at its absolute best. They have convinced their regular viewers that they discuss politics and political issues and issues of political importance and politics politics politics. They’re very effective at conveying that message.
