Angelina Maria Angie Silva Englisbee, an 86-year-old Hispanic woman, was killed on August 3, 2019, in the mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. She was one of 23 people killed in an attack that was described as motivated by anti-Hispanic hate. The accused shooter, Patrick Crusius, was arrested and charged with capital murder and federal hate crimes; he is reported to have posted a manifesto online expressing intent to target Hispanic people.

The Englisbee family joined other victims’ families in filing a civil lawsuit against the shooter, his family, and the online platform 8chan where the manifesto appeared, but later dropped the suit citing the complexities of the criminal proceedings and disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic. Angelina’s son, William Englisbee, has spoken publicly about his grief and the support he draws from faith and family. The El Paso community continues to remember the victims and to reflect on addressing hate crimes and promoting unity.
