Jonathan Antonio Camuy Vega was 24 and a native of Puerto Rico when he was killed on June 12, 2016, in the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. He had moved to Florida to pursue a media career and was working as an assistant producer for Telemundo’s children’s talent competition La Voz Kids. Camuy Vega was at Pulse with friends when the gunman opened fire; he died while trying to protect his friend Yilmary Rodriguez Solivan.

The attack killed 49 people and the shooter, Omar Mateen, was later killed by police. Investigators reported Mateen pledged allegiance to the Islamic State during the attack and was found to have acted alone. Families of victims, including Camuy Vega’s, pursued legal action against the security company that employed Mateen, and the shooting prompted calls for changes in gun policy and expanded support for the LGBTQ+ community.

Does anyone who knew Jonathan or Yilmary have memories or information to share about him?
