About this listen
In 2008, the murder of 14-year-old Jaime Gough shook the Miami community and left the nation grappling with the terrifying reality of teenage violence. Jaime, a quiet, friendly, and well-liked teenager, was senselessly killed by a classmate in a brutal and shocking act that would forever change the lives of his family and friends.
Jaime’s death occurred in the halls of his middle school, a place that should have been safe. The killer, a fellow 14-year-old student, attacked Jaime with a knife in a premeditated and horrifying manner. The reasons behind the crime were complex and dark, fueled by jealousy, anger, and the troubled background of the perpetrator, who was known to have violent tendencies. But what made this case even more unsettling was that it was not a random act of violence—it was carried out by someone who knew Jaime, someone who had been a classmate for years.
This case remains one of the most haunting examples of how violence can erupt in the most unexpected places, leaving behind a trail of devastation and heartbreak. Join us as we reflect on the life of Jaime Gough, honor his memory, and seek to understand what drove a young teenager to commit such an unthinkable act.
