Gloria Zamora, 40, a mother of seven with over 150,000 Instagram followers, and her date, 43-year-old Hector Garduno, pictured below, a father of four, were gunned down Saturday night, June 21, in the parking lot of Summa Sushi in Fontana. Combined, the couple leaves behind 11 children.
According to police, Zamora’s estranged second husband, Thomas Alberto Tamayo Lizarraga, opened fire on the couple — just days after Zamora revealed on her podcast HERizon that she was leaving him.
“They were going through a divorce, and that led to this,” Officer Steve Reed of the Fontana Police Department told ABC 7. “We don’t know how he knew where she was, but apparently, she had been at the restaurant for about an hour before the shooting.”
Several off-duty law enforcement officers were nearby when the gunfire broke out. One off-duty San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy, driving by the shopping center, witnessed the incident, made a U-turn, and confronted the shooter.
The deputy shot and killed Lizarraga at the scene. His identity has not been released.
Zamora’s daughter, Jazlynne Zamora, confirmed the tragedy in a heartfelt message shared through a GoFundMe campaign.
“My mom was senselessly taken from us,” she wrote. “She was murdered by my stepdad Tomas in an act of unimaginable violence.”
Jazlynne described her mother as “a light in her community” who “uplifted and inspired countless women,” adding, “She always said, ‘Women can do anything they set their minds to,’ and she lived those words every day.”
Garduno’s children also launched a GoFundMe page, remembering him as a “devoted and hardworking man who was tragically murdered and gone too soon.”
Zamora’s fundraiser notes that her seven children, ranging from ages 8 to 24, now face a future without their mother’s “warmth, guidance, and unconditional love.”
The investigation remains ongoing, Fontana police said.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
