On May 27, 2025, police found Emily\u2019s body in the backseat of a car at Brooklet City Park, with a gunshot wound. In the front seat was her father, James Lee Mayo, dead from a self-inflicted shot. A handgun was found on his lap.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"449\" data-end=\"800\">The Georgia Bureau of Investigation confirmed their involvement, and an autopsy was scheduled. Emily\u2019s family was devastated. Her aunt, Amber Healy, started a GoFundMe that quickly surpassed its goal, describing Emily as joyful, bright, and full of life. \u201cHe was supposed to bring her to a birthday party,\u201d Amber wrote. \u201cInstead, he took her from us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"1052\">Emily had just finished third grade and was excited for the future. Her music teacher shared that just days earlier, Emily sang \u201cParty in the USA\u201d during a school karaoke event. Her kindness, humor, and energy left an impact on everyone who knew her.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1054\" data-end=\"1337\">The community plans a candlelight vigil in her memory, while the investigation continues. Emily\u2019s family, especially her mother and younger sister, are leaning on support from friends and neighbors.
