The district attorney in Oklahoma announced that no charges would be filed in connection with a fight at a high school involving Nex Benedict, a nonbinary transgender student who died by suicide. The fight was described as mutual combat, and notes related to the suicide were found. Nex, aged 16, had reported facing bullying at school due to gender identity. The students involved in the fight were minors, and the district attorney did not believe charges could be sustained beyond a reasonable doubt.
