Maribel Loya Hernandez, a 56-year-old Hispanic woman, was killed on August 3, 2019, during the mass shooting at the Cielo Vista Walmart in El Paso, Texas. She had been shopping for school supplies for her grandchildren when the attack occurred. Her family remembers her for enjoying barbecues, tending plants, and her favorite phrase, shaa-shhinggg!!!

The attack claimed 23 lives and injured 22 others, deeply affecting the El Paso community and drawing national attention to issues of gun violence and hate crimes. Maribel’s death is part of that larger tragedy that continues to be mourned by family and friends.

Did anyone who knew Maribel or saw her at the Walmart that day come forward with memories or information that could help preserve her story?
