Leilah Eliana Hernandez was a 15-year-old sophomore at Odessa High School who was killed on August 31, 2019, during a mass shooting spree between Midland and Odessa, Texas. An active member of her community, she played basketball and volleyball and attended St. Mary’s Catholic Church. She was the youngest victim of the attack and was shot while at a car dealership with her family.

The shooter, identified as Seth Aaron Ator, began his rampage after a traffic stop and targeted random people along his route, ultimately killing seven and wounding 25. Officers later located Ator; he was shot and killed after a confrontation with police. Leilah’s community held a public viewing and funeral attended by hundreds, where her basketball jersey number 23 was displayed.

If anyone knew Leilah, her school teams, or was at the car dealership that day, please share information that might help remember her or shed light on the events that morning.
