Local update on the death of Owasso,OK Nex Benedict
OPD UPDATE:
Since February 7th, 2024, the Owasso Police Department has been actively involved in an investigation into a physical altercation that occurred at the Owasso High School, and Owasso Public Schools has been cooperative throughout the investigation. The students involved in the incident were all juveniles and juvenile files are confidential and inaccessible to the public in most circumstances. From reports, records, and statements of witnesses, it appears that:

The physical altercation was broken up by other students who were present in the restroom and a school staff member who was supervising outside of the restroom.
All students involved in the altercation walked under their own power to the assistant principal’s office and nurse’s office.
School administrators began taking statements from the students present in the restroom and began contacting parents/guardians of the students involved in the physical altercation.
Each of the students involved in the altercation was given a health assessment by a registered nurse at the school and it was determined that ambulance service was not required.
While it was determined that ambulance service was not required, the school nurse recommended that Nex Benedict visit a medical facility for further examination.
On the afternoon of February 7, 2024, an Owasso School Resource Officer was assigned to respond to Bailey Medical Center where Nex Benedict was being examined. The School Resource Officer interviewed Nex and their parent concerning the altercation at the Owasso High School.
The following morning, the School Resource Officer followed up with the parent.
On the afternoon of February 8, 2024, Owasso Fire Department medics were dispatched to a medical emergency involving Nex Benedict, who was transported to the St. Francis Pediatric Emergency Room where they later died.

"However, a search warrant states police suspect foul play"
Of course. Because 16 year olds don't come to school alive and healthy, get beaten by 3 other students, and just die of something unrelated the next day
Fuck the police. ACAB. Why are the cops taken at their word every time a minority dies under questionable circumstances?
And it's more than a bit disturbing watching certain people work hard to protect the school and glorify the police and blame the victim
After all, all people are equal.. But being Native American and trans makes some less equal
