In the aftermath of the devastating event, a memorial has been growing at the site of the shooting.
The memorial features signs urging prayers for Allen and crosses adorned with the names of each person who lost their life in the tragedy.

The remaining victims have been identified as Christian Lacour Ishwariya (20 years old), Takunda (age unknown), Ilio Kumano Rivas (32 years old), and sisters Daniella Mendoza (11 years old) and Sophia Mendoza (eight years old).
