Today we discuss the tragic case of Fred Martinez. Fred was a 16 year old Native American Navajo teenager who was brutally murdered in June 2001. His life and his murder have become an important touchpoint in the conversation surrounding violence against LGBTQ+ and Two-Spirit individuals, particularly within Indigenous communities.
