Benedict, a member of the 2SLGBTQ community, died one day after getting into a physical fight with several other students at Owasso High School.
Family members said Benedict had been bullied at school. The teenager reportedly collapsed at home and was later pronounced dead.

Benedict claims that in the bathroom the students said “something like: why do they laugh like that,” referring to Benedict and their friends.
“And so I went up there and I poured water on them, and then all three of them came at me,” Benedict tells the officer from a hospital bed.
