Texas Mall Shooting Vicitm Daniela Mendoza Sofia Mendoza
On May 6, 2023, the world lost two bright and innocent souls – Daniela and Sofia Mendoza, two beautiful Latina sisters who attended Cox Elementary School in Sachse, Texas. Daniela was just 11 years old and a fourth-grader, while Sofia was a second-grader, only 8 years old. Their mother, Ilda Mendoza, remains hospitalized in critical condition.
According to reports, Allen Texas Mall Shooting Suspect Mauricio Garcia was subsequently shot and killed by police.
The School District of Allen, Texas Superintendent, David Vinson, expressed his profound sadness in a letter to families. “Words cannot express the sadness we feel,” he wrote. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the Mendoza family, the families of the victims, and all those affected by this senseless tragedy.”
Daniela and Sofia were described as “beams of sunshine” by their principal, Krista Wilson. The school community is reeling from the loss of these two young students who brought joy to everyone they encountered.
A GoFundMe campaign was set up to support the girls’ father, Alex Mendoza, who is going through a nightmare that no one should ever experience. However, the family has decided to refund all donors, and the decision to open another fundraising campaign will be left to their discretion.
The Mendoza family has our deepest sympathies, and our hearts go out to everyone affected by this tragedy. It is a reminder to us all to cherish our loved ones, to hug them tightly, and to tell them how much we love them every chance we get. The memory of Daniela and Sofia will live on, and they will not be forgotten.
