GoFundMe Campaign Started For Teen Victims Of Watertown Shooting

WATERTOWN, CT — A GoFundMe campaign has been started to help pay for funeral services for two teen siblings who were murdered last week.

"Their loss is tragic, and they will be missed by so many," the post by organizer Robin Smith-Guerrera reads. "The family is devastated and blindsided by this loss, and unprepared for the high cost of funerary services. Many have asked what they can do to help in this very difficult time, so we have created this GoFundMe page in hopes to be able to cover the cost of services for both Della and Sterling."

Police said that an initial investigation found that Paul Ferguson, 42, shot and killed 15-year-old Della Jette and her 16-year-old brother, Sterling Jette Jr. before turning the gun on himself. Ferguson was the teen siblings' mother's boyfriend.

Both Sterling and Della attended Kaynor Technical High School in Waterbury.

Della played basketball and both her and Sterling played soccer.

"The two teens also have close ties to the Watertown and Woodbury school communities," the GoFundMe page reads. "Della and Sterling loved each other, their mother Danielle, along with many family members and friends. Their loss is tragic, and they will be missed by so many."
