His attackers, Russell Arthur Henderson and Aaron James McKinney beaten him on Oct 12, 13 years ago and now they are serving life sentences in prison for the Oct. 7, 1998 crime.
He was tied to a fence in a remote area, beaten and left for dead. A man riding his bicycle came upon what he thought was a scarecrow. It was Shepard, and he was in a coma. He would later die in a hospital. But he is still alive in our memories.
There are also plans for memorial services. Students at Ball State University in Indiana, for example, will hold a memorial service for Shepard and others who have been discriminated against due to their sexual orientation.
Shepard's death was the basis for a number of television, film and theater projects, among them, NBC's The Matthew Shepard Story, HBO's The Laramie Project (based on a play of the same name) and MTV's Anatomy of a Hate Crime.
