Raul Estrada Flores, 77, was killed on August 3, 2019, in the mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. He was remembered as a devoted husband who rarely left his wife’s side and as a father, grandfather and great-grandfather; his survivors include children Leticia Saldana, Raul Flores Jr. and Adriana Flores, plus 11 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.

The attack that day claimed 23 lives and injured 23 others. The shooter, Patrick Crusius, drove from hundreds of miles away and has been charged with capital murder and federal hate crime counts alleging the attack targeted Mexicans and immigrants. The community response included calls for action on gun violence, public advocacy by Congresswoman Veronica Escobar and the designation of the El Paso Healing Garden as a national memorial.

Anyone who knew Raul or has memories of him that could help keep his story alive is invited to share what they remember.
