3rd- and 4th-graders, 2 teachers identified as victims killed in Uvalde school shooting

All of the victims of the deadly school shooting at a Southwest Texas elementary campus have been removed from the school and identified and families have been notified as of Wednesday morning, according to news reports.

Officials said that at least 19 students and two teachers, all of whom were inside a fourth-grade classroom at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, were shot and killed by an 18-year-old gunman Tuesday morning.

These are the victims who have been identified.

Eva Mireles, teacher

Eva Mireles, a teacher of 17 years who was teaching fourth grade, was fatally shot by Salvador Ramos, while trying to protect her students, her aunt told The New York Times. Mireles was in her early 40s, married and had a child who is a college graduate.

“I’m furious that these shooting continue, these children are innocent, rifles should not be easily available to all,” said Lydia Martinez Delgado, Mireles’ aunt.

Mireles daughter, whose Twitter says her name is Adalynn, wrote a goodbye note to her mom.

“Mom, I have no words to describe how I feel right now, tomorrow, and for the rest of my life. I never thought that I would be here writing this type of post for you. Mom, you are a hero. I keep telling myself that this isn’t real. I just want to hear your voice,” the note read. “I want to hear you talking to our dogs with that silly voice you make so high that wakes everyone up in the morning.”

Her daughter continued by reminiscing memories between the two, including sharing TikTok videos with one another, annoying her mother as soon as she woke up, making sure she didn’t undercook her chicken and singing karaoke.

“I want to fight with you for the stupidest things and then laugh with you after. I want everything back,” Adalynn wrote, adding a string of thank you’s after.

“You are so known by many now and I’m so happy that people know your name and that beautiful face of yours and they know what a hero looks like,” the note said. “I don’t know how to do this life without you, but I will take care of dad. I will take care of our dogs and I will forever say your name so you are always remembered.”

Mireles was also remembered as a “beautiful person and dedicated teacher,” by a woman who said her daughter was in Mireles’ class.

“She believed in Gabby & went above & beyond to teach her as you can see below. There are no words,” the mother, whose Twitter name says Audrey, said.

Irma Garcia, teacher

Irma Garcia taught alongside Mireles for about five years, and was a veteran teacher for 23 years, according to the elementary school’s website.

Garcia, in her bio, said that she had been married for 24 years and had four children. She enjoyed barbecuing with her family, listening to music and traveling to Concan, Texas.

Garcia’s eldest son, Cristian, was completing Marine boot camp this year. Her other son attends Texas State University.

Garcia also had two daughters, Lyliana, who is a high-schooler and Alysandra, who is in middle school.

Tweets from Jose Martinez, who said he was Garcia’s nephew, said his aunt died a hero.

“My tia did not make it, she sacrificed herself protecting the kids in her classroom, i beg of you to keep my family including all of her family in y’all’s prayers, IRMA GARCIA IS HER NAME and she died a HERO. she was loved by many and will truly be missed,” the tweet read.
