Alejandro Barrios Martinez, 21, was from born in Candelaria, Cuba, and a friend described him as an outgoing person. He "always had a smile on his face," Sarai Torres said.
Torres, who said she met Martinez last year after she moved to Florida from Cuba, added, "Every interaction I had with him was totally positive."
Among the youngest victims, little information around Martinez has emerged. It is believed that he was born in Cuba, with friends and family telling the Cubanos Por El Mundo newspaper he was always positive.
He had recently moved to Florida from Cuba and was still trying to master English, according to a friend.
"Every interaction I had with him was totally positive," she said, adding that she remembers Martinez as an outgoing person who introduced her to his other friends. "He's the type of person (who would) see you in a parking lot and he'd have a whole conversation with you."
Torres, 30, said she saw Martinez several times at Pulse nightclub, which she described as a good place to meet new people. She was not at the club during the shooting.
