Teacher Irma Garcia and 4th grader Uziyah Garcia are both the victims of the fatal Texas school shooting that took place just days before the end of the school year at Robb Elementary School.
A teenage gunman secured himself inside a classroom before killing at least 19 children and two teachers at a Texas primary school on May 24, 2022, keeping the most lethal school shooting in the decade after the Sandy Hook massacre.
The victims were in the same fourth-grade classroom at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, 80 miles west of San Antonio. The gunman, aged 18 years, Salvador Ramos, was shot dead by an officer who arrived on the scene.
At least 12 children who were slaughtered in the attack have been named by their families, including 8-years-old Uziyah Garcia. Besides that, two victims were teachers, and they were Eva Mireles and Irma Garcia. After the news came into the media, some people began thinking that the teacher, Irma and student, Uziyah may have some blood relationship.
Was 4th Grader Uziyah Garcia Related To Teacher Irma Garcia?
Late fourth-grader Uziyah Garcia and his teacher, Irma Garcia, are not related to each other, but they both were mass shooting victims. Netizens thought that they might be relative as both of them had the same surname.
However, there is no such news about the two Garcia having a blood relationship. Meanwhile, Irma was a 4th-grade teacher at Robb Elementary. She was a married woman and was blessed with four children. Her family has created a GoFundMe page. They are raising funds for funerals and memorials.
Apart from that, Uziyah was an eight-year-old boy and was described as the sweetest little boy by his grandfather, Manny Renfro. It was also reported that Uziyah visited his granddad, Renfro, in San Angelo during spring break.

All of them were ten years old, but some sources say that some of them were seven or eight.
Moreover, Eva Mireles was also one of the victims who was a teacher at Robb Elementary School. She had been an educator for 17 years. Her daughter, Adalynn, tweeted a tribute to her mother Wednesday, where we can see the picture of her together with Eva. In her spare time, the teacher spent time with her family and did various adventurous stuff, including running, hiking, and biking.
