Overview

  • On June 21, estranged husband Thomas Alberto Tamayo Lizarraga tracked fitness influencer Gloria Zamora and her date, Hector Garduno, to a sushi restaurant parking lot in Fontana before shooting and killing both.
  • A San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy who heard the gunfire made a U-turn, confronted Lizarraga and fatally shot him at the scene.
  • Zamora, a mother of seven, and Garduno, a father of four, left behind 11 children between them.
  • A GoFundMe page for Zamora’s children has raised over $33,000 and a separate fundraiser for Garduno’s family has collected more than $10,000 to cover funeral and support expenses.
  • Fontana police say the investigation is ongoing as they seek to determine how Lizarraga located Zamora and to gather further evidence.
