Sonia Argentina Guzman, 25, was the first victim shot and killed in the Cleveland, Texas mass shooting this weekend. She went to the front door to talk the shooter down and protect her family. She was dedicated to her loved ones, sending support to her relatives in Honduras.

Daniel Enrique Laso was Sonia’s son. He was a “sweet,” active child who loved to play soccer and ride bikes with other kids in the neighborhood. Daniel dreamed of becoming a police officer when he grew up. He was only eight years old.

Julisa Molina Rivera, 31, was enjoying an evening with her extended family when the shooting began. She died shielding Sonia’s two younger children from the bullets. The 2-year-old and 6-week-old survived, unharmed.

Diana Velazquez Alvarado was only 21 years old. Along with Julisa, she protected two children from the shooter. She is survived by two children of her own, a 6-year-old and an infant who will grow up without their mother.

Jose Jonathan Casarez, 18, was Diana’s partner and the father of her children. He was robbed of the chance to watch his kids grow up, and his own future was cut short.
