El Paso Unites to Remember Walmart Shooting Victims

It’s been six years since August 3, 2019. A day that many will remember as the darkest day in El Paso’s history. On that day, a racially motivated mass shooting at the Cielo Vista Walmart took the lives of 23 innocent people and wounded more than 20 others. But even in the face of hate, El Paso showed the world what resilience looks like.

This year, El Paso County and the El Paso United Family Resiliency Center are inviting the community to come together again to remember, honor, and heal.

Remembrance Ceremony Details

• Date: Sunday, August 3
• Time: 6:30-9 p.m.
• Location: The Healing Garden at Ascarate Park, 6900 Delta Dr.

The evening begins with a performance by El Paso Pro Musica at 6:30 p.m., followed by a prayer and reading of the names of the victims alongside the El Paso County Commissioners Court. The ceremony is not just about mourning, it’s about celebrating the strength and courage that continues to define our city.
