How to play audio clip when destroying an object?

When I try to play an audio clip to signify an object being destroyed I get the error: Can not play a disabled audio source

It seems like when you destroy an object you can't play an associated clip but it's not clear from research on the Internet how to adapt my code. Code shortened to relevant bits.

public class Targets : MonoBehaviour {

 //Sound effects
 public AudioClip targetDestroyedSound;
 public AudioSource gameSounds;
 
 // Start is called before the first frame update
 void Start()
 {
             gameSounds = GetComponent<AudioSource>();

 }

 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update()
 {
     
 }  
 
 private void OnMouseDown()  
 {
     // Function allows users to click on targets and destroy them
     if (gameManager.isGameActive)
     { 
         // Destroyed target game sound
         gameSounds.PlayOneShot(targetDestroyedSound, 1.0f);

         // create particle explosion when clicked on
         Instantiate(particleExplosion, transform.position, transform.rotation);

         // UpdateScore taken from Game Manager class
         gameManager.UpdateScore(pointValue);

         // destroys game object if clicked on
         Destroy(gameObject);
     }
   
 }

 private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
 {
          
     Destroy(gameObject);

     if (!gameObject.CompareTag("Bad"))
     {
         gameManager.GameOver();
     }
     
 }
