Funeral services were held on Monday to honor and remember Gaymee Paw, a 16-year-old girl from Kentucky who tragically lost her life last week. The local sheriff reported that Paw was allegedly shot by her ex-boyfriend, who is also a teenager. The incident took place on June 21 in Owensboro, Kentucky. Paw sustained a gunshot wound to the head and was transported to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
In her obituary, it was mentioned that Paw and her family belong to the Karenni ethnic minority of Myanmar. They immigrated to the United States from Thailand 12 years ago. Paw had recently completed her freshman year at Owensboro High School, where she had been recognized as student of the month.
Friends and teachers remembered Paw as someone who brought joy to others with her sense of humor. Her obituary playfully mentioned her driving skills, shared her love for swimming, shopping, spicy food, and mint chocolate ice cream, and highlighted her achievements in volleyball. She was described as a beloved sister and a happy person who will be deeply missed.
Paw had aspirations of becoming a teacher and had mapped out her educational plans accordingly. The community has rallied around her family, with teachers and friends sharing memories and photos of Paw on social media. A GoFundMe page has also been set up to support the family with funeral expenses.
Authorities have charged a 16-year-old boy, believed to be Paw’s ex-boyfriend, with her murder, as well as tampering with evidence and possession of a handgun as a minor. Another 17-year-old male has also been arrested in connection with the case. Both suspects are being held at the Warren County Regional Juvenile Detention Center.
The Daviess County Attorney has expressed intentions to prosecute the case to the fullest extent possible and is seeking to have the alleged shooter tried as an adult. The judicial process is ongoing, and the community continues to grapple with the senseless loss of Gaymee Paw.
