A Utah teen remains on life support after authorities said she was shot in the head by her ex-boyfriend in an attempted murder-suicide. According to KSL News, 17-year-old Lily Conroy and 19-year-old Masao Kaanga ended their relationship Tuesday night. Following the break-up, Kaanga had allegedly threatened the girl, though details of the threat were undisclosed. On Wednesday, police conducted a welfare check on the pair, who were found at a Springville, Utah, community park. They both appeared to suffer from gunshot wounds to their heads and were found "slumped over in the front seats" of Kaanga's car, police said per KUTV-TV. Kaanga was pronounced dead on the scene. Authorities said Conroy was "mortally wounded" and remained on life support to preserve her organs, according to the outlet.

I wonder why??????
Breaking up is hard to do, I reckon.
The name sounds African-African.
hate crime
He’s black.
It would only be a hate crime if she (the white one) had been the one doing the shooting.

diversity has consequences
The middle name says samoan or hawaiian? I looked up the name and it just shows pictures of her.
When I click on the link I get weird captchas and no article.
Who is Masao Kaanga, and why is she trending?
I believe that is him without his helmet on, but I am not positive about that picture..
His name seems Pacific Islander to me. Pic of him in 2019: http://isaachalephoto.samexhibit.com/blog?page=6

Masao Keawepahikinao Kaanga-—Looks like Hawaiian or Samoan name.
Although these days one can not be sure.
It does seem strange that none of the many media reports show his photo.
He does not appear to be black.
Seems to be a notable story on Univision.
My granddaughters are all getting carry pieces when they come of age, for just such eventualities.
Nope.
No according to his picture
The pics and middle name say my guess was wrong.
Masao Kaanga. A regular Boy Scout, I’d wager.
