Officials acknowledged unresolved questions Tuesday about a 16-year-old Oklahoma student who died one day after a fight in a high school bathroom.
The Feb. 7 fight happened at the Owasso High School West Campus, northeast of Tulsa, police and school officials said.
Nex was not a citizen of the nation but lived on the Cherokee reservation, Hoskin said in a statement.
He said he had asked local authorities to assist the Owasso Police Department in its investigation of Nex’s death.
Nex’s mother told the Independent that the 16-year-old had been bullied at school over their gender identity.
The students were also given a health assessment by a district registered nurse, per protocol, school officials said.
Police were called to Bailey Medical Center by a parent who wanted to report that the student had been in a fight, according to the police statement. »
