In a sad coda to the Thanksgiving Day shooting in Goleta, the Sheriff-Coroner released the identities of the man and woman who died at the Best Western; they each died of a single gunshot wound. The woman was 36-year-old Mayra Uriarte of West Valley City, Utah; the man was 37-year-old Hector Manuel Altamirano Martinez of Mexico. Terming it a "homicide/suicide," the Sheriff's Office stated the two had been in a relationship previously and had a child.
Uriarte's sister, Cristina Ayala-Arriaga, has set up a GoFundMe page to help with funeral and other expenses. Uriarte was a single mother raising three children and had graduated from San Marcos High School in 2003 before moving to Utah. The GoFundMe page can be found here .
