Priscilla Perez, 17, was one of six people killed on July 26, 2013, during a shooting rampage at an apartment complex in Hialeah, Florida. The attacker, 42-year-old resident Pedro Vargas, set his apartment on fire, shot the building managers who came to investigate, and then fired randomly at residents. Vargas held several hostages during a lengthy standoff before SWAT officers shot and killed him.

Priscilla was at home with her mother, Merly Niebles, 51, and stepfather, Patricio Simono, 64, both of whom were also killed. An incoming senior at American Christian School, she aspired to become a pediatrician and was remembered by family as happy, creative, and intelligent. Vargas had no known prior criminal record; investigators noted he had disputed with the building managers but there was no indication Priscilla or her family were specifically targeted.

Anyone who knew Priscilla or who has information about the events at the complex in Hialeah is asked to come forward.
