It was 2016 in Iowa and Kedarie Johnson was 16 years old. He had always been a beautiful and unique soul. He had been through so much in his short life with bullies, confusion about who he was and the lack of acceptance he was given. But when he came out as gay he finally began to feel confident in himself, soon after he would tell his mother he was gender fluid. His family supported him fully and so did his close friends but unfortunately not everyone he knew supported the LGBTQ+ community. That March 2nd, he would be suspended in school for a fight with a student and would go to HyVee to use the wifi. Later that night, he would be found deceased. The crime scene was unlike anything they expected. Although, he was identified and his killers were soon after.. there was still a question to be answered. Was this a hate crime? Was Kedarie murdered for his gender identity?
