The 18-year-old aspiring Air Force cadet who was reportedly killed in a jet ski accident involving an illegal immigrant was honored by the military branch at her funeral on Saturday.

Ava Moore, just 18, was preparing to start her cadet training at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) in a few weeks, but she tragically lost her life while kayaking on Lake Grapevine in Texas during Memorial Day weekend.

Moore was laid to rest with full military honors, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Moore graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School on May 19, 2025. She was set to become a part of the USAFA Class of 2029. 

Moore was hit by a jet ski while kayaking on the lake over Memorial Day weekend.

The individual suspected of driving the jet ski, along with an accomplice who allegedly aided in her escape, both illegal immigrants from Venezuela, were apprehended in Dallas last Tuesday. Reports indicate the duo had their suitcases ready when authorities took them into custody.

Daikerlyn Alejandraa Gonzalez-Gonzalez, 22, was charged with second-degree manslaughter, a felony.

Maikel Coello Perozo, 21, is accused of picking her up and driving away from the scene. Authorities allege Perozo hit another vehicle while speeding off. He has been charged with a collision involving damage to a vehicle and hindering apprehension, both misdemeanors. 

Gonzalez-Gonzalez remains in the Tarrant County Jail on a $500,000 bond as of Tuesday. Perozo remains in the jail on a $3,250 bail. 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has placed detainers on both of them, meaning that when their criminal proceedings and punishments have concluded in the United States, they will be deported.
