Tess Marie Mata was 10 years old when she was killed on May 24, 2022, at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. She was one of 19 children and two teachers shot during an attack in a fourth-grade classroom. The shooter, Salvador Ramos, was 18 and had purchased two AR-style rifles shortly before the incident.

A Department of Justice review of the law enforcement response found numerous inadequacies and delays by officers at the scene, findings that have driven public criticism and calls for accountability. Tess’s family has been active in advocacy and set up a nonprofit called Gloves for Tess to provide softball and baseball gloves to children in her memory.

If anyone knew Tess, her routines, or has information about that day that could help family or investigators, please share what you know.
