THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 2001 The Colorado Attorney General will be aiding local prosecutors in the beating death of a 16-year-old Navajo teenager. The Montezuma County District Attorney asked for the state's help in prosecuting first-degree murder charges against Shaun Murphy, 18. Murphy is accused of beating Fred C. Martinez Jr. to death in June. The crime is being labeled a hate crime because Martinez was Navajo and gay / transgendered. Get the Story:
