Описание: Sam Nordquist, a 24-year-old Minnesota transgender was tortured and killed earlier this year, according to authorities.

Authorities say Nordquist, of Oakdale, Minnesota, arrived in the area in September and was staying with Precious Arzuaga, 38, and others at Patty's Lodge on Routes 5 & 20 in Hopewell.

According to the indictment, the suspects tortured and beat Nordquist between Jan. 1 and Feb. 2.

All seven suspects were indicted on charges including first-degree murder, second-degree murder, two counts of first-degree kidnapping, second-degree conspiracy, and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

"Sam was confined," Assistant District Attorney Kelly Wolford said. "He was forced to kneel and stand against a wall. He was physically assaulted. He was sexually assaulted. He was prevented from using his phone. He was denied proper nutrition and hydration. He was fed feces. He was forced to drink urine and chew spit. They physically restrained him. They forced him to obey their commands, treating him like a dog. They covered his face with towels and shirts and fabric. They used duct tape and they poured bleach on him."
