The second victim to be identified in the Boston marathon bombings is Krystle M. Campbell, a 29-year-old from Medford, Mass., according to Yahoo News.

“My daughter was the most lovable girl,” her father, William A. Campbell Jr., told Yahoo News. “She helped everybody and I’m just so shocked right now. We’re just devastated. She was a wonderful, wonderful girl. Always willing to lend a hand.”

Campbell was on the finish line of the Monday race with a friend who was cheering on her boyfriend, a participant, when two explosions detonated mere seconds apart, leaving three dead and more than 170 injured.

An 8-year-old, Martin Richard, was among the three people dead and was identified earlier Tuesday. He was struck by the second explosion while running from the first.
