Alejandro Barrios Ale Martinez, 21, was killed on June 12, 2016, at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando during the mass shooting that claimed 49 lives. Born in Cuba, he had moved to Orlando in 2014 to live with his father, leaving his mother and grandmother behind. That night he was celebrating a new job with friends and sent a final message to his partner expressing love and uncertainty about surviving.

The gunman, Omar Mateen, entered the club armed with an assault rifle and a semiautomatic handgun, took hostages, and engaged in a standoff with law enforcement; Mateen was later killed by officers. Investigators reported Mateen pledged allegiance to ISIS during the attack, though no evidence linked him directly to the organization. Alejandro’s family joined other victims’ relatives in legal actions seeking accountability related to the shooting and its circumstances.

Does anyone who knew Alejandro or who was at Pulse that night have memories or information to share about him?
