An Oklahoma district attorney announced that no charges will be filed in the case of Nex Benedict, a 16-year-old nonbinary student who died following a fight in a high school bathroom at Owasso High School. The incident, which occurred last month in suburban Tulsa, involved what was described as 'mutual combat' between Benedict and another student. Despite the altercation, the Tulsa County district attorney concluded that the circumstances surrounding the fight did not warrant criminal charges. The decision was influenced by the state medical examiner's ruling that Benedict's death the day after the fight was a suicide. This ruling has sparked discussions and reactions across various platforms, highlighting the complexities of addressing incidents involving minors and the LGBTQ+ community in educational settings.

Nex Benedict and the rising threat to LGBTQ kids https://t.co/8I5bhQZ5Rt
The loss of Nex Benedict is a tragedy. My heart is with their family and friends. No LGBTQI+ young person should be scared to express who they are. If you ever need someone to talk to call 988 and press “3” to talk to someone specifically trained to support LGBTQI+ youth.
Nothing 'happened to,' Benedict. She started a fight, assaulting three girls in the bathroom and then overdosed the next day. There was no anti-LGBTQ bullying or hate crime or targeting. https://t.co/gSAdw6HMCf
