Jordan Kae Jamrowski Anchondo, a 25-year-old Hispanic mother of three, was killed on August 3, 2019, in the mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. She was shopping for back-to-school supplies and is believed to have tried to shield her 2-month-old son when she was shot. The infant survived but suffered broken bones and received treatment at an El Paso hospital.

The shooter, identified as Patrick Crusius, was arrested shortly after the attack and charged with capital murder and hate crimes. He admitted to targeting Mexicans, and authorities connected the assault to anti-immigrant motive; the attack left 23 people dead and many others wounded. Jordan’s family and community held vigils and memorials, remembering her as a loving mother and wife whose actions aimed to protect her child.
