Brooklyn Pleads Guilty in Sam Nordquist Case | Rochester News

Brooklyn, aka Jennifer Quijano, just pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, kidnapping, torture, and concealing a corpse in the horrific case of Sam Nordquist — a 24-year-old trans man from Minnesota who vanished after meeting someone online in upstate New York. She admitted to weeks of brutal abuse, psychological torment, and forcing children to witness or participate, before helping hide his body. Sentencing is set for September 8th, with life without parole likely. She’s the third to plead guilty — joining Emily Motyka and Precious Arzuaga, who also took full responsibility, including murder. Authorities say this plea brings them closer to justice for Sam and his family, while others remain charged in this chilling case.
