El Paso Remembers with Unity and Hope | El Paso News
Description
On August 3, 2019, El Paso was forever changed when 23 lives were lost in a horrific Walmart shooting — a day that still echoes with grief but also with profound resilience. In the wake of tragedy, the city came together in an outpouring of love, unity, and strength. Mayor Renard U. Johnson reminds us that while the pain remains, so does the community’s compassion — urging everyday acts of kindness to keep that spirit alive. This year, the city honors the fallen through poignant events: orange-lit porches, remembrance ceremonies at Ascarate and Jim Crouch Parks, a tribute installation at City Hall, and a blood drive on August 4 — all echoing the generosity that followed the attack. The permanent August 3 Memorial stands as a solemn, year-round tribute to the 23 lives lost, their names etched in stone as a call to remember, heal, and rise together.
