FORT WORTH (CBSNewsTexas.com) - Three victims of Monday's mass shooting in Fort Worth have been identified.

There are a total of 11 victims — three have died and eight are at area hospitals in unknown conditions – after shots rang out during a fireworks show in the Como neighborhood Monday night.

Santos rarely went out, but used to live in the Como neighborhood and went to a party last night with a friend. 

Her sister told CBS News Texas' Jason Allen that she was the pillar of her family — she worked full time and took care of her mother, sisters and brothers.

Willis was out on a rare night off from work when he was fatally shot.

His mother was present when the shooting happened. She went running to find her children when shots were fired and unknowingly ran past Willis where he was shot.

Police are still searching for a suspect or suspects.
