Prosecutors announced no criminal charges would be pursued in the death of nonbinary Oklahoma teen Nex Benedict, following a school altercation linked to bullying over gender identity. The medical examiner ruled Benedict’s death a suicide from medication overdose, noting prior injuries from the altercation. Advocates raised concerns about possible abuse oversight by school officials. The U.S. Department of Education initiated a civil rights inquiry. Tulsa County’s District Attorney cited lack of criminal grounds for prosecution based on the scuffle being mutual, disappointing Benedict’s friends and family who reported ongoing harassment. The Human Rights Campaign emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into the tragedy.
