On February 15, 2023, 17-year-old Angeles Zaragoza was shot and killed near the food court of Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso, Texas, after a confrontation between two groups of youths around 5:05 p.m. The group that included Zaragoza consisted of Zaragoza, a 17-year-old male who was seriously wounded, a 17-year-old female, a 16-year-old male, and two 14-year-olds. The opposing group included a 16-year-old who brandished a stolen handgun, a 20-year-old who was injured, a 17-year-old, and a 15-year-old.

As the suspect tried to flee and reportedly pointed the gun at bystanders, 32-year-old Emanuel Duran, a licensed firearm carrier, drew his weapon and shot the suspect. An off-duty El Paso officer working mall security and Duran provided first aid until emergency responders arrived. The shooter was charged with murder and three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was referred to the Juvenile Probation Department after hospital release.

Does anyone who was at Cielo Vista Mall that afternoon or who knew Angeles have further information that could help clarify what happened?
