Gallery: Scenes From A Growing Memorial To Those Killed In El Paso

The makeshift memorial attracts visitors who come to mourn and remember the 22 people who were killed at the nearby shopping complex. Signs of support include flowers and stuffed animals, candles, crosses and religious items.

Photos of victims offer glimpses of the people lost on Aug. 3. Signs with notes of solidarity and strength dot the length of roadside, sending a clear message to visitors — that El Paso stands together. KERA's Stella Chávez reported from El Paso and documented the memorial.

Clarissa Hernandez and her son, Ezra Magaooanes, handed out water and gave hugs at the memorial. "I'm just happy that people have been coming and people have been hugging each other -- hugging us -- to get some sadness or even all of it out of their hearts," Magaooanes said.
