On September 17, 2023, a house party rented through Vrbo in the 12300 block of Tierra Inca Drive in Far East El Paso turned deadly when multiple shots were fired into the crowd around 1 a.m. Six people were hit; 19-year-old Eliel Omar Bultron Hernandez died at the scene and 14-year-old Julia Worthington was critically injured and died on September 19, 2023.

Julia Gabrielle Worthington, born November 7, 2008, was a student at Pebble Hills High School. She was remembered by her family as caring, fond of music and photography, and devoted to family and pets. Her organ donations afterward reportedly saved seven lives, including two children.

Authorities have said the shooting began after a confrontation linked to a feud between 18-year-old Angel Avila and another individual, David GG Caldera, and that Avila allegedly fired a ghost gun — a firearm without serial numbers — striking multiple people with what police describe as stray bullets. The El Paso Police Department identified Avila as a suspect and charged him with capital murder of multiple persons; he was arrested and held on bond in November 2023.

Did anyone at Pebble Hills High School or the party know Julia well enough to share memories or information that could help clarify the events that night?
