The identities of the 21 people, including 19 children, who were slain in a Texas school shooting on May 24 have been identified.
Eva Mireles, 44, is one of two teachers killed in the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, according to her aunt, Lydia Martinez Delgado, who spoke to ABC7.
Mireles’ daughter, Adalynn, paid tribute to her mother on Wednesday morning, writing in a Twitter post: “My sweet mommy, I will miss you forever.”
Xavier Lopez, 10, was identified as another victim, his cousin, Lisa Garza, told The Associated Press.
“He was just a loving 10-year-old little boy, just enjoying life, not knowing that this tragedy was going to happen today,” said Garza, according to the AP.
Manny Renfro lost his 8-year-old grandson, Uziyah Garcia, in the shooting. “The sweetest little boy that I’ve ever known,” Renfro said. “I’m not just saying that because he was my grandkid.”
