Vargas' father created a GoFundMe page to help with his funeral expenses. His family said they are shocked and completely devastated. Vargas is the only fatal victim.
Several children were there celebrating a birthday party when the shots went off. A group of children and families actually ran out of the bowling alley looking for shelter.
Cynthia Sutton, a business owner across the street from the bowling alley told NBC Bay Area Sunday that she saw the chaos as she was closing her shop.
“A lot of people had left without their belongings," she said. "They left just as soon as three shots were fired, they ran for cover and some of them came out and still had their bowling shoes on. They weren’t allowed to come out and retrieve their cars because even the parking lot was a crime scene."
Sutton said that she took several of them to the back of her business and offered them water and time to calm down.
Granada Bowl officials released a statement Sunday and they said that they will reopen on Monday but with shortened hours until further notice.
