Carly passed away late Friday night when a tornado came through Haughton (east of Bossier City) around midnight, causing a large tree to fall on the RV in which she was sleeping at the Hill Crest Mobile Home & RV Park on Highway 80.

Carly’s father, Amaniel Ortiz, is an exercise rider at the nearby Harrah’s Louisiana Downs Casino and Racetrack.

There are a few ways people can also support the Ortiz family during this time:

• Donations to the Winner’s Circle Church, P.O. Box 157, Princeton, LA, 71067. Make checks payable to Winner’s Circle Church (Re: Ortiz Family). Source: Louisiana Downs
• Two GoFundMe Accounts have been established that will help cover the cost of the funeral and help directly support Carly’s parents, Amaniel and Delfa Ortiz.

  "This is truly a difficult time for the Ortiz family, and our thoughts and prayers are with them as they deal with the tragic loss of young Carly," said Bossier Sheriff Julian Whittington.
