Shooting Shatters Lives Immigrants Built in Texas Town of Cleveland
Authorities said they believe the shooter acted alone.
Shawn Crawford, 52, who lives two houses down, said Garcia and his family “were just good people.” Crawford and her grandchildren had attended kids birthday parties and cookouts at Garcia’s home. Crawford said when Guzman was pregnant last year, Garcia went to Crawford’s home and asked if he could buy a pink flower growing from her Yucca plant, saying it was “good for the unborn baby.” Crawford told him to take one anytime he saw it bloom.That help among neighbors was valuable because Trails End was not always an easy place to live.
Dale Tiller, who has lived in the neighborhood for 13 years, said despite these difficult circumstances, people live there because of the “pride in wanting to be a homeowner and live a better life.” On Aug. 3, 2019, a man shot and killed 23 people at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, a community where 85% of residents are Hispanic. In English and Spanish, survivors told LX News' Marcel Clarke and Beth Peak about witnessing the tragedy, helping victims at the scene, and their healing process still underway three years later. Warning: some viewers may find this video disturbing.
