Murry Foust, a 22-year-old trans man and Northern Kentucky University student, was found dead on May 24 after being missing for about a month. He was last seen alive on April 27 and was captured on security footage in Covington, Kentucky. An independent search party located his body near an industrial area in Wilder, Kentucky, across the Licking River from Latonia. Covington Police Department reported no current suspicion of foul play, while a coroner’s report had not yet been released. His family announced an art scholarship fund in his name, using donations and proceeds from the sale of his work to support other art students. Friends shared memories describing his kindness, comfort, and influence on their art.
"While our hearts are broken and this is not the outcome we were hoping for, we can only pray that finding them provides closure and comfort to everyone who is hurting,"
"We are establishing an art scholarship fund in their name to honour their love of art. Any donations or proceeds from the sale of Murry's work will be used to support other art students in the community."
"Murry was one of my first friends I made in college, and helped me feel so much more comfortable about myself."
"I saw them a day or two before they had went missing and they were so sweet. I had dressed extra nice that day and they went and complimented me in detail for about 5 minutes straight... They were a big inspiration in my art and I strived to be more like them and try to pour more of my soul into each of my creations as they did."
