Yes the murder if a 14 year old is tragic but don't let the TQ+ exploit his death to make them look like a vulnerable group with something to fear from "TERFs". The kid was killed by a man meeting a minor on a hookup app.

'It hit the panic alarm': Transgender teen's killing in northwest Pa. dismays LGBTQ+ group

Pauly A. Likens Jr., 14, a transgender female from Sharon, was murdered and dismembered in Mercer County, state police said in making arrest in case that has rattled Shenango Valley LGBTQIA+ Alliance.

By Ed Palattella

Report of a missing person and discovery of human remains in late June led to probe in death of 14-year-old Sharon resident Pauly A. Likens Jr.

State police have charged a 29-year-old Sharon resident in the killing of victim, whom defendant is alleged to have met via Grindr app

Pauly was a transgender female, says Shenango Valley LGBTQIA+ Alliance, which is supporting Pauly's family

SHARON, Pa. — On June 1, at the start of Pride Month, the Shenango Valley LGBTQIA+ Alliance moved into its own office space in Sharon after three years of running its support groups out of different locations.

The alliance, founded three years ago, had finally established a more permanent presence to advocate for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning and queer community in Mercer County.

The killing and dismemberment of a 14-year-old transgender Sharon resident has shown the alliance how much its advocacy is needed — and mobilized the alliance as it supports the family and friends of the victim, Pauly A. Likens Jr., a transgender female.

"I think it hit the panic alarm," Pam Ladner, the president of the Shenango Valley LGBTQIA+ Alliance, told the Erie Times-News of Pauly's death. "For something like this to happen, just as we are getting started, is devastating."

The Pennsylvania State Police on Wednesday charged a 29-year-old Sharon man, DaShawn Watkins, with first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse, aggravated assault and tampering with evidence in the death of Pauly, who police said was killed on June 23.

Among the allegations is that Watkins killed Pauly after the two met via Grindr, the popular LGBTQ dating app, according to arrest records. Pauly's cut-up remains were found scattered around the area of Shenango River Lake in Mercer County starting on June 25. Police used cellphone records, surveillance video and blood found in Watkins' apartment to charge him, according to the arrest records.

LGBTQ+ group organizes candlelight vigil

The death has generated a flood of support for Pauly's family and the Shenango Valley LGBTQIA+ Alliance, Ladner said.

"We have a lot of people who are stepping up and showing support to make sure she gets the recognition and the justice that she should get," Ladner said.

Ladner said the alliance was not familiar with Pauly before the killing, but she said she spoke to Pauly's family after the death to offer help. The family gave the alliance permission to identify Pauly as a transgender female who used she/her pronouns, Ladner said. The family could not be immediately reached for comment.
