ROCHESTER, N.Y. – A candlelight vigil was held for Sam Nordquist at Asbury First United Methodist Church in Rochester. Nordquist, a transgender man from Minnesota, was found dead in Yates County in February.
Investigators said seven suspects kidnapped and tortured Nordquist for a month before killing him.
“He had such a bright, like, present life before the tragedy. That he was going to continue to have that life and light. He helped people that were disabled, he was always a helping hand. He never had any negative energy around him,” a speaker said.
Members of several religions and faiths attended the vigil to show their support for the trans community.
