HOUSTON — The family of Brianna Rodriguez is asking everyone to wear the Astroworld Festival victim's favorite colors Saturday in her honor.
She loved the colors pink and white, according to family members.

A woman claiming to be the teen's aunt, Iris Rodriguez, posted this message Friday on social media:
"My brother Osvaldo and his wife Ester lost their beautiful daughter Brianna Rodriguez last Friday. Tomorrow 11/13 we ask that our city of Houston Tx wear pink or white her favorite colors to remember her. #HoustonWearsPinkForBri"
Friends and family members gathered Wednesday night for a candlelight vigil and balloon release.
A GoFundMe campaign was launched for those interested in helping the the victim's family. As of Friday, more than $70,000 in donations have been made.
Brianna, affectionally called "Bri" on several items left at a Astroworld Festival memorial at NRG Park, had a passion for dance. She was a member of her school dance team and band.
