SEATTLE - Family and friends of Amarr Murphy-Paine gathered at Garfield High School to honor the teen on what would have been his 18th birthday on Monday.

Murphy-Paine was shot and killed while trying to break up a fight at his school on June 6.

Murphy-Paine's loved ones spent the day sharing memories of the high school football player, and then handed out hygiene kits and blankets to those in need at 12th and Jackson in honor of him.

"We're honoring the 17 years of life that he had on earth here," said Arron Murphy-Paine, Amarr's father.
