Luis Sergio Vielma, 22, of Orlando was killed on June 12, 2016, in the attack at Pulse nightclub. He worked as a ride attendant at Universal Orlando and was a student at Seminole State College preparing to begin an Emergency Medical Technician program. Family and those who knew him described him as devoted to family, faith, and community, with active participation in church activities and youth ministry.

The shooter entered the club in the early morning and fired indiscriminately, killing 49 people and wounding 53 others. Investigators reported the attacker pledged allegiance to ISIS during the assault; he was later killed by police during the standoff. The incident was characterized as both a hate crime and an act of terrorism aimed at the LGBTQ+ community.

Memorials and support efforts followed, including the formation of the onePulse Foundation and legal actions by victims’ families against the security employer of the attacker. If anyone knew Luis, his routines, or has information about him that could help preserve his memory, please share.
