Details Emerge About Victims of Paris Attacks

Nohemi Gonzalez, a 23-year-old college student from El Monte, CA, is one of the 129 victims in the Paris terror attacks. Gonzalez, a student at California State University Long Beach, was a design student studying abroad in France. "She was a great girl, one of the best," her aunt, Sandra Felt, told NBC News. "She planned her whole trip to Paris — always a go-getter, very organized person. She worked to save money for her trip." Gonzalez was a part of an exchange program that sent her to France to study design at the Strate School of Design, the Los Angeles Times reports. Her official cause of death has not been released. CSU Long Beach will hold a vigil for Gonzalez at 4 p.m. on Sunday.

“I'm deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Long Beach State University student Nohemi Gonzalez. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during this sad time,” CSU Long Beach’s President Jane Close Conoley said in a statement. “Our university stands with our nearly 80 foreign exchange students from France as they struggle with this tragedy. We will extend all support necessary to comfort them. We will also extend support to all students, faculty, and staff who are in need.” Gonzalez was in Paris with three other students from CSU Long Beach. All of them are believed to be safe. In a Facebook status, Michael LaForte, a lecturer in Cal State Long Beach’s department of design, described Gonzalez as a “kind, thoughtful, generous, and talented student, dear to all who knew her. We grieve for her today and give our hearts to her grieving family and boyfriend.”

Instead of responding with violent acts we have to understand what is the cause of the problem and work together to try and prevent it.”
