Paul Lowe, an award-winning photojournalist renowned for his coverage of the Siege of Sarajevo, was also a visiting professor in war studies at King's College London.

Before his academic career, Lowe reported on significant global events, including the fall of the Berlin Wall and Nelson Mandela's release.

His impactful work often focused on conflicts, particularly in Sarajevo, where he aimed to capture moments of normalcy and joy amidst violence.

Tragically, Lowe was fatally stabbed by his 19-year-old son, Emir Abadzic Lowe, during a drive in the San Gabriel Mountains.

The incident occurred around 3:28 PM near Stoddard Canyon Falls, where authorities found Lowe with trauma to his upper torso.

Emir Lowe has been charged with his father's murder and is currently held in Los Angeles County Jail on a $2 million bond.

His wife, Amra Abadzic Lowe, revealed that Emir had struggled with mental health issues and had been hospitalized for psychosis multiple times in the past year.

The VII Foundation, where Lowe taught, expressed deep sorrow over his death, remembering him as a courageous and beloved individual.

Tributes have poured in from colleagues and friends, highlighting Lowe's talent, humanity, and significant contributions to photojournalism.

His work not only documented the harsh realities of war but also emphasized the resilience of people in conflict zones.

Paul Lowe is survived by his wife, his son Emir, and another son who is 17 years old.

Amra expressed shock at the tragedy, noting they never anticipated such an outcome despite their efforts to help Emir.
