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.
