This crash caused the untimely death of all six passengers in the vehicle.The victims were identified as the Perez girls, Olivia, 12, Emalynn, 11, and Giana, 8, their mother Karly, along with the mother’s friend Heather Ventura, and Ventura’s son, Lucas Tejada.Sources claim that the Perez girls were intelligent and respectful children who had a passion for softball. Remembering them, the girls’ aunt said, ‘They were the stars of our world. Now they’re gone, and all we have is memories.’In memory of the deceased, a vigil is scheduled to be held at Centennial Park in Menifee on Wednesday.
