Support Emiliano's Family After Tragedy
Donation protected


On July 25, 2025, 13-year-old Emiliano Boviall Gutierrez was tragically shot and killed in Greenville, North Carolina. His life was taken far too soon, leaving his family, friends, and community heartbroken.
Emiliano was more than a child—he was a kind soul, a loving son and brother, and a young boy full of potential and promise. His smile could light up a room, and his presence brought joy to those around him. Though his time with us was short, his memory will forever live in our hearts.
