CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. (WROC) — Friday in Canandaigua, not far from where 24-year-old Sam Nordquist was tortured and murdered — a group released a pair of doves in his honor. The ceremony comes days after the transgender man from Minnesota would have turned 25. “We’re Sam’s army but were going to continue to fight for him and be his voice and get justice for him and then after that carry on his legacy of peace and love,” Patricia Tillotson, who helped organize the ceremony, told News 8.
