MOURNING ALAINA

The family is reportedly shaken by Alaina’s passing. Tia is especially hurt for her twin who’s very close to her. Still trying to wrap her head around the senselessness of Alaina’s death, Tia posted a series of images paying tribute to what was lost. Her first post two days ago was a black and white image of a heart with the word Thousand Oaks transcribed in it. She simply captioned it with a heart emoji.

Her second post a day later was an image of a black ribbon with Alaina’s name on it. In her caption, she wrote, “Enough.”

Alaina was a freshman at Pepperdine University. She was at the bar attending a college party celebrating country music at the time of the attack. Her high school principal at Vintage High described her as “the kind of young person you want your kids to be.”

Our prayers go out to Alaina’s family who lost a beautiful soul.
