A transgender Minnesota man who was found dead in a field in New York knew
his assailants, New York State officials confirmed Sunday.

Last week, law enforcement confirmed that the body of 24-year-old Sam
Nordquist was found in Benton, located southeast of Rochester, New York.

At that time, police said Nordquist had “endured prolonged physical and psychological abuse” through repeated acts of violence and torture from
late December to sometime in February.

In a joint press release on Sunday from the Ontario County District
Attorney and the New York State Police, authorities confirmed Nordquist
and his assailants knew each other and identified as LGBTQ+. Officials
added that one of the suspects lived with Nordquist “in the time period
leading up to the instant offense.”

New York authorities said they released that information “to help
alleviate the understandable concern his [Nordquist’s] murder could be a
hate crime.”

According to the release, investigators believe Nordquist was killed in
Ontario County and then transported to Yates County “in an effort to
conceal his murder.”

A map showing that area can be found below.

The five people who have been charged with second-degree murder, all from various cities of New York state, are:

Patrick A. Goodwin, 30
Jennifer A. Quijano, 30
Kyle R. Sage, 33
Emily Jean Motyka, 19
Precious N. Arzuaga, 38
Sunday’s press release added, “There have been many questions as to
whether Sam’s murder was a hate crime. A ‘hate crime’ in New York is
defined in Penal Law Sect. 485.05, as an offense committed ‘in whole or in substantial part because of a belief or perception regarding the race,
color, national origin, ancestry, gender, gender identity or expression, religion, religious practice, age, disability or sexual orientation of a person, regardless of whether the belief or perception is correct.’ We are still in the early stages of this investigation. While significant
evidence has been obtained, we are continuing to follow up on leads
brought to the State Police. We urge the community not to speculate into
the motive behind the murder as we work to find justice for Sam. At this
time we have no indication that Sam’s murder was a hate crime.”

All five suspects were arraigned Friday morning and are being held without bail. Authorities added a preliminary hearing has been set, and that they expect grand jury action soon.

5 EYEWITNESS NEWS spoke to Kayla and Linda Nordquist, Sam’s sister and
mother, on Friday morning as they drove to New York to meet with
detectives. Watch some of that interview HERE.

A GoFundMe for Nordquist’s family to travel out of state to New York has
been set up.

Authorities are asking anyone who may have information on the case to
contact New York State Police by calling 585-398-4100 or by emailing crimetip@troopers.ny.gov.

the New York State Police can be found below.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
eradicated.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
