Amanda Lizzette Alvear was 25 and worked as a pharmacy technician in Davenport, Florida. She was killed on June 12, 2016, during the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, one of 49 victims who died that night. Her final moments were recorded on a Snapchat video in which she can be heard whispering shooting as gunfire erupts.

Reports say Alvear had an opportunity to escape but went back into the club to look for her best friend, Mercedez Flores, who was also killed in the attack. The shooter, identified as 29-year-old Omar Mateen, died after a three-hour standoff with police; investigators found he had pledged allegiance to ISIS during the assault but uncovered no evidence he was directed by the group. Families, including Alvear’s, later pursued lawsuits against Mateen’s employer and the nightclub’s owners over vetting and security.
