Uncertainty in El Paso Before Names of Shooting Victims Are Released

Greg Allen, the El Paso police chief, said the gunman had stopped at Walmart because he was hungry. Fifteen patients remained in the hospital, two of whom were in critical condition, he said. Nine people had been discharged.

The El Paso Police Department released this list of names of the dead on Monday, although in some cases families and the Mexican consulate provided different spellings:

Andre Pablo Anchondo, 23; Jordan Anchondo, 24; Arturo Benavidez, 60; Leonard Cipeda Campos, 41; Maria Flores, 77; Raul Flores, 77; Jorge Calvillo Garcia, 61; Adolfo Cerros Hernandez, 68; Alexander Gerhard Hoffman, 66; David Alvah Johnson, 63; Luis Alfonzo Juarez, 90; Maria Eugenia Legarrega Rothe, 58; Elsa Libera Marquez, 57; Maribel Loya 56; Ivan Hilierto Manzano, 46; Gloria Irma Marquez, 61; Margie Reckard, 63; Sarah Esther Regaldo Moriel, 66; Javier Rodriguez, 15; Teresa Sanchez, 82; Angelina Sliva-Elisbee, 86; Juan Velazquez, 77.

In a Facebook post, Elsa Libera Marquez’s husband, Antonio, wrote an emotional farewell to his wife: “I say goodbye to my partner, the most wonderful of women, a being full of life who will continue to light our path for the time that life gives us… we will miss you love!!!!”

In another Facebook post, Sandra Ivonne Cerros, the daughter of Mr. Cerros and Ms. Regaldo, confirmed her parents’ deaths. “We are devastated,” she wrote.

The young couple who were killed protecting their son, Andre and Jordan Anchondo, had celebrated their first anniversary a week before the tragedy, and had moved into a home painstakingly renovated by Andre. After they were killed, family members were left shellshocked. They are now picking up the pieces to see how to raise the three children the couple left behind: Skylin, 5; Victoria, 2; and baby Paul Gilbert.

“Their parents simply cannot be replaced,” said Jerry Jamrowski, 33, Jordan’s uncle. “How are we supposed to explain what happened to their three beautiful children?”

Mr. Jamrowski said it had been a harrowing experience since Saturday. They found out that day that Jordan had died but it took another day, until Sunday afternoon, to confirm that Andre was also killed.

“Andre was also heroic,” said Elizabeth Terry, 44, Jordan’s aunt. “He threw his own body in front of his wife to try to save her.”
