The Navy declined to release the names of those involved, saying their families had not been notified. However, Jovy San Nicolas Paulino of Tinian confirmed that one of the victims was her daughter, Anamarie San Nicolas Camacho, 20.

Paulino said her other daughter, Joana Lynn San Nicolas-Killoren, called her early yesterday morning to tell her that Camacho was killed by a fellow Navy inside the barracks of an American military base in Bahrain... ...Camacho's remains are expected to arrive on Monday. Paulino said her daughter's memorial service is set the following day, “hopefully with full military honors.”

...Paulino said she could still remember her daughter's face, especially the big smile she had. “She always had big smiles. She was an individual who was filled with so much energy,” she said, her voice trembling during a phone interview with Saipan Tribune yesterday.

She described Camacho as a joyful child. Paulino recalled that it was her daughter's decision to join the Navy two years ago. She said her daughter knew that getting into college was expensive, so she chose to join the Navy right after graduating from the Tinian Jr. and Sr. High School to get a degree. “She always tried to do things on her own. She was an independent child,” Paulino said.
