Marcela Diaz Franco was 26 when she died of wounds from a shooting on June 8, 2013. She and her father, Carlos Navarro Franco, had been at Santa Monica College on June 7, 2013 to pick up textbooks for her summer classes when a gunman opened fire on their SUV. Carlos was killed at the scene; Marcela was critically injured and taken to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, where she died the next day.

Authorities say the shooter, identified as John Zawahri, carried multiple high-powered weapons and as much as 1,300 rounds of ammunition. Investigators linked the rampage to earlier violence at the shooter’s family home on Yorkshire Avenue, where the bodies of his father, Samir Zawahri, and his brother, Chris Zawahri, were later found. Zawahri continued shooting at people and vehicles en route to the college and was killed by police inside the college library after five people had been killed, including Marcela and her father.

Marcela was described as a Latina who hoped to become a clinical psychologist. The college established memorial funds and held a service for the Francos. Does anyone have information about Marcela or memories of her time at Santa Monica College?
