Statement from Sue Benedict The mother of Nex Benedict 2 OKLAHOMA "We at this time are thankful for the ongoing support and did not expect the love from everyone. We are sorry for not using their name correctly and as parents we were still learning the correct forms. Please do not judge us as Nex was judged, please do not bully us for our ignorance on the subject. Nex gave us that respect and we are sorry in our grief that we overlooked them. I lost my child, the headstone will have [the] correct name of their choice. The rest of monies will go to other children dealing with the right to be who they feel they are, in Nex Benedict's name. God bless"

Owasso Police Department 2h-3 Investigation Update 02-21-2024: 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: ... • On February 7, 2024, a physical altercation occurred in a restroom at the Owasso High School West Campus. • 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. • While the investigation continues into the altercation. preliminary information from the medical examiner's office is that a complete autopsy was performed and indicated that the decedent did not die as a result of trauma. At this time, any further comments on the cause of death are currently pending until toxicology results and other ancillary testing results are received. The official autopsy report will be available at a later date. This investigation is ongoing.
