Jorge Calvillo Garcia, a 61-year-old Hispanic man, was killed on August 3, 2019, in the mass shooting at the Cielo Vista Walmart in El Paso, Texas. He was at the store to support his granddaughter’s young soccer team’s fundraiser. When the gunman approached the group, Jorge stepped between him and his son Luis, who was shielding his daughter and the teammates; Jorge did not survive the attack.

The shooter drove to El Paso from Allen, Texas, and posted a manifesto online before the attack; he was arrested at the scene and charged in connection with the shooting. The FBI investigated the incident as an act of domestic terrorism and a hate crime. Jorge is remembered for his selfless act and his commitment to his family; his family has received community support through fundraisers and memorials.

Did anyone who knew Jorge or his family attend that fundraiser or the memorials and have memories to share?
