Eliahna Torres wore the number four on the softball field. She loved the sport and was in contention for a spot on the city all-star team.
“She was an amazing young girl with so much potential,” a family member told The New York Times. “She was a leader and loved by all her family.”
Ten-year-old Eliahna was among 21 persons whose lives were cut short in a mass shooting at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas on May 24, 2022.
The week she was shot, she was looking forward to her last Little League game of the season after school.
Two Little League teams in the area later played a game in honor of her memory, according to TV station KIII.
“Today was her last softball game. She made all-stars,” coach Lisa Monjaras told the Little League players that day. “She’s not going to make her game tonight, so guess what? We are going to play for her.”
