The incident began when sisters Nya Sigin, a freshman at Prior Lake High School, and her older sister Elizabeth, a senior, drew attention to a video of students attacking a pillow with the N-word on it. In retaliation, more videos were created and directed at Nya.  

“Nobody is going to forget what this girl said about my sister,” Elizabeth told FOX 9. On Instagram, she wrote, “My sister has worked so hard to become the person she is today and I’m so proud of her for overcoming her struggles.”  

The video encouraging Nya to take her own life came months after the teen was released from an inpatient hospital due to struggles with her mental health, according to FOX 9. “I really couldn’t comprehend what I was listening to, it was really just a wave of different emotions,” The 14-year-old told CNN. “I was angry, I was disgusted, I was sad, I was confused.”

In the video, the girl, who Nya said she’s known since elementary school, told the Black teen to “kill yourself right this time,” and another person can be heard in the background laughing.  

According to Elizabeth, students from Prior Lake High School and other schools used the school’s anonymous tip line to complain about the video. Savage Police Chief Rodney Seurer held a news conference Thursday saying, “This is not tolerated here.”  

In Minnesota, it is against the law to encourage someone to die by suicide. Police said they are looking “at all aspects” of the video to see where the investigation takes them.  

The Minneapolis NAACP released the following statement:  

“The Minneapolis NAACP is deeply disturbed by this hateful video and have been very intentional with providing Nya and her family the space to process this critical matter. We spoke to the family – and reassured that we are here to support them 100%.”

The story went viral after activist Shaun King posted about it to his 3.7 million followers on Instagram. A GoFundMe page for Nya was created to raise a college fund for her and “help and support her and her family with whatever they need.” It has raised more than $120,000 in less than one week.
