Investigators in Kentucky allege that a 16-year-old high school student was shot once in the head and killed near a park on Wednesday by a 16-year-old boy she “[a]t one point in time” dated.
The Daviess County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday that Gaymee Paw, an Owensboro High School student, was the victim of a murder near Ben Hawes Park, around a 10-minute drive away from where she attended school. Authorities reportedly said they were dispatched around 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday to the scene of the shooting and that Paw died later on at the hospital. The next day, authorities said, they confirmed the cause of Gaymee’s death.
“This morning an autopsy was performed on the victim from yesterday’s death investigation by the Kentucky State Medical Examiner in Madisonville, Kentucky. The cause of death has been determined to be homicide due to a single gunshot wound to the victim’s head,” the sheriff’s office said.
According to authorities, the suspect is a 16-year-old male whose name will not be released “until authorized to do so by the appropriate court authorities.” In other words, if or when the minor suspect’s case is transferred to adult court, as has been the case in murder cases against juveniles younger than this defendant is, his identity will officially be revealed.
