Here is Gilroy shooting victim Keyla Salazar and her family’s story, about the days that follow a mass shooting
The 12-year-old girl sat on the bottom bunk bed where her older sister, Keyla Salazar, used to sleep.
“The sisters were so united. Keyla would draw there, and she [Lyann] would draw here,” Fabes, 58, said, pointing to opposite sides of the lower bunk. As in Gilroy, many of the El Paso victims were Latinos. “At this point we are really traumatized. We feel like we can’t go to the grocery store because we feel like something is going to happen,” said Keyla’s aunt, Katiuska Pimentel, 24. “We feel their pain.”
Family and friends including Sandra Moscol, left, and her husband, Hans Bludau, right, participate in a vigil honoring Keyla in San Jose. People surround and hug Keyla’s mother Lorena Pimentel de Salazar, middle, at Zumba class at Dancing Angel’z Blvd during a fundraiser in San Jose on Aug. 2, 2019. Keyla’s family attended the event very briefly. Normally about 20 people participate in the Zumba class. Well over 100 people participated in this fundraiser Zumba class.
Keyla's grandmother, Betzabe Vargas Fabes, 59, shows some of her artwork in the living room in San Jose. But after she was brought home, Dasha ran into the house happily sucking a lollipop and holding a stuffed rainbow-colored unicorn, while her mother followed, the bags under her eyes deeper than they were the day before.
Dressed in black, Pimentel de Salazar walked in accompanied by six family members. The crowd parted and the music stopped.
