Aurora Luz Banales Godoy, 26, was killed on December 2, 2015, in the San Bernardino Inland Regional Center mass shooting. The attack targeted a holiday party for the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health; Aurora was one of 14 people shot and was the youngest victim. She left behind her husband James Godoy and their young son, Alexander.

Aurora had recently started work with San Bernardino County’s Department of Environmental Health and was remembered by family and coworkers for a bubbly, loving personality and a fondness for baking, cooking, and trips to Disneyland with her family. The perpetrators, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, were killed the same day in a confrontation with law enforcement; the FBI later described the attack as motivated by extremist ideology and linked to foreign terrorist inspiration. No other suspects were identified.

If anyone knew Aurora or has information about her life and legacy, please share memories or tips that might help document her story.
