EAGLE PASS, Texas — The Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino, which became the site of tragedy early Sunday morning, remains closed to the public until further notice.

Alicia Sanchez of Dimmit County died while being transported to the hospital following the chaos at the casino. She took care of her four children.
Eagle Pass Mayor Aaron Valdez posted a picture on Facebook of another victim identified as Marcus “Mark” Antley, whom he described as a beloved member of the Eagle Pass community. Valdez noted he Antley was a retired agent with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Of the five people injured in the shooting, two were taken to University Hospital in San Antonio. A 22-year-old woman was treated and released while officials say as of Monday evening, doctors are still caring for a 59-year-old woman who’s listed in fair condition.
People who live next to the casino say they’re keeping extra vigilant after what unfolded over the weekend. One woman who makes bracelets for Kickapoo tribal members, stressed her heart is with the families of those who died and survived the incident.
Kickapoo representatives could not provide a timeline as to when the casino will open back up the public.
