On Tuesday, the law enforcement will begin the next step in clearing the Cielo Vista Walmart crime scene and the City of El Paso will transition to the healing process in the community.

Parking fees will be waived for anyone visiting the new Family Assistance Center in Downtown. The new center will open Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. and remain open until 8 p.m.

In addition to assisting victims and families retrieve their vehicles from Walmart, the Family Assistance Center will also provide the following services:

We invite everyone, whether they just need to talk, or they are seeking services to help them move forward, to visit the center,” said Fire Chief Mario D’Agostino.

Anyone needing immediate support may call (915) 779-1800.
