The Carrizo Springs community is rallying behind the family of Alicia Sanchez.

Sanchez was one of the victims who was shot at the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino in Eagle Pass late Saturday night.

She was later pronounced dead at an Eagle Pass hospital.

Family and friends are coming together as they prepare to say goodbye to the young mother. Loved ones are sharing memories and remembering the beautiful life Sanchez led.

Sanchez’s sister, Angeleigha, said her older sister was an open book.

“She told you what was on her mind, whether it was good or bad, or funny or sad,” Sanchez said.

She said Alicia had a big heart. Sanchez is proud to know the community her sister was a part of loved and thought well of her.

It is a sentiment shared by Julia Torres, Alicia’s longtime childhood friend.
