El Paso leaders urged an end to racism and gun violence as they honored the 23 victims killed in the Walmart attack on the second anniversary of the mass shooting.
They gathered Tuesday morning, speaking in front of crosses bearing the names of the victims.
The memorial ceremony hosted by the Border Network for Human Rights, a nonprofit that advocates for immigrant rights, was held in Ponder Park, blocks from the Walmart where a white supremacist targeting Hispanics fatally shot 23 people and injured dozens more.
The event started with city leaders and community members marching from one end of the park to the other, holding crosses with the names of those killed Aug. 3, 2019, at the East Side Walmart near Cielo Vista Mall.
