Family identified 79-year-old Nicolas Toledo as one of the six people killed at the Highland Park 4th of July parade shooting Monday.

Angel Toledo said his father Nicolas Toledo was killed in the shooting. He said his father and another family member were both shot when the gunman opened fire. The other family member, who Toledo said is a child, will be OK but his father Nicolas did not survive.

"My grandpa was a funny man. He'd always joke around and be playful with his grandkids," Angel said in a statement.

A local synagogue also announced one of their congregants did not survive. Her name is Jacki Sundheim.

The congregation released a statement about her, saying Jacki was a lifelong congregant and a cherished member of our staff team for decades.

"Jacki's work, kindness and warmth touched us all," they said.
