ABC News has confirmed that Eva Mireles, a teacher who died in the Robb Elementary school shooting, was married to school district police officer, Ruben Ruiz, according to a family member.
Mirele was an educator of 17 years and has one daughter. Her school bio reads "I have a supportive, fun, and loving family," and mentions Officer Ruiz as well.
Mirele's bio also reads that she had been co-teaching with Irma Garcia, a second teacher killed in the shooting, for 5 years.
Garcia’s husband passed away due to grief just two days after the tragic shooting, according to their family.
Officer Ruiz is also one of three school district officers listed as instructing an active shooter training course that was hosted by the department in March 2022.
