The district attorney announced that no charges will be filed in connection to the fight involving Nex Benedict, a nonbinary high school student who died by suicide the day after the altercation. The fight was deemed an "instance of mutual combat," and the students involved were minors. Nex's death was later determined to be by suicide, and the medical examiner's report indicated "combined toxicity" from two drugs as the probable cause. The family called for reforms to end bullying, and the district attorney emphasized the need for resources to combat the growing crisis of suicide.
