Steen's murder was shocking. His dismembered body was found, the cleaned skull having anti-gay and anti-black comments written on it.
Steen, at age 19, was killed by his step-father, because Steen was gay.
A memorial site, with a poem by Steen's aunt can be found at the
Matt and Andrej Koymaski Memorial Hall.
