Numerous vigils and memorials were planned in Uvalde to mark one year since the Robb Elementary School shooting. In what became the deadliest school shooting in Texas, a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers and injured 17 others.
Margarita and Julián Moreno, the great-grandparents of Lexi Rubio, listen as a mariachi band plays three songs for relatives of the Robb Elementary School victims and community members at the memorial plaza in Uvalde on Wednesday.“For us, and I think it may be felt across the community, it is a somber day,” said Julian Moreno, the great-grandfather of 10-year-old Alexandria “Lexi” Rubio, one of the fourth grade studentsthat day.
Earlier in the day, while the crowd holding the 77-minute vigil stood near an intersection, where cars and big rigs traversing one of the city’s main streets honked in solidarity, a mariachi band arrived to perform three songs a member said are traditionally played for occasions of mourning. “I am just one of many of the mariachi musicians and the mariachi world that want to send out our music of healing to the community of Uvalde, and especially to the families that are still grieving and mourning and hurting,” said Anthony Medrano, a San Antonio-based musician who has performed with mariachi groups at the White House and the Hollywood Bowl.
