Gloria Zamora Killed After Speaking Out Against Ex
Gloria Zamora, 40, created a platform with over 150,000 followers on Instagram, empowering women as a mother of six while sharing fitness content and motivation. She had recently appeared on an episode of the Herizon podcast last week to discuss her fitness journey and the details of her second marriage falling apart amid her rise in influence.
'Instead of you being supportive, you're over here trying to like bring me down,' Zamora said of her ex in a clip of the episode captioned 'With husbands like these, who needs enemies?'
The podcast host Isene responded, 'His insecurities are yelling to you. His projection is real. He's trying to bring you down so you don't leave.'
Almost a week after the episode aired, Zamora was fatally shot alongside her date, Hector Garduno, 43, in the parking lot of Falcon Ridge Town Center in Fontana, California, Fontana Police officer Steve Reed told ABC7.
Reed said the suspected shooter was Zamora's 'estranged' husband, Thomas Lizarraga, 45, who tracked her down amid a pending divorce.
'We don't know how he knew where she was at, but apparently, she had been at the restaurant for approximately an hour prior to the shooting,' Reed said.
Lizarraga was fatally shot by an off-duty San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy who heard the shooting, Reed said.
Zamora and Garduno were taken to local hospitals, where they later succumbed to their injuries, police told HuffPost. The investigation is ongoing.
'A woman tried to leave a toxic, dangerous relationship and he responded with 'If I can't have you, no one will,'' Isene wrote in an Instagram story. 'That wasn't love, that was control. That was violence that was a man driven by ego and emotional instability who couldn't accept that she chose peace over pain.'
Isene said in her post that Zamora 'gave this man 15 years of her life,' but when she asked for a divorce, 'he chose destruction over healing.'
In a GoFundMe, Zamora's daughters described their mom as a light in her community who 'uplifted and inspired countless women, reminding them of their worth, their strength, and their potential'.
'She always said, 'Women can do anything they set their minds to,' and she lived those words every day,' Zamora's daughters wrote. 'Her courage, kindness, and determination touched the lives of everyone who knew her.'
Garduno's children have also launched a GoFundMe, describing their father as a 'hardworking man.'

A blind man's support dog went missing. Chicago mobilized to get him back.
After Bam Bam went missing, Santiago said he would walk for miles a day, calling his dog's name and passing out fliers. When neighbors heard him calling for Bam Bam, they jumped in to help Santiago file a police report and spread the word. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'People would come up to me and ask me why I was screaming 'Bam Bam,'' he said. 'When I told them what was happening, they would help me.' Advertisement Santiago said Bam Bam was grabbed by two people who came into his yard and made off with him on June 5th while the dog was out for an early morning bathroom break. Santiago said he never lost hope or stopped searching for Bam Bam. 'Bam Bam was out there,' Santiago said. Amy Pasalich, a NICU nurse in Chicago, said she saw Bam Bam's story after someone posted it on TikTok. She started a Facebook group and a GoFundMe page in early August with Santiago's blessing, hoping to raise a couple thousand dollars to hire a private investigator. She was stunned to see $20,000 pour in. An unrelated petition collected more than 2,200 signatures to demand more action from the city to help Santiago find Bam Bam. Advertisement 'I think so many people are animal lovers and have bigger hearts than we realize,' Pasalich said. Local news reported on the case, and people continued to post on social media. Volunteers fanned out across the city, passing out fliers and searching for the senior dog. Then on Tuesday night at 8 p.m., two people dropped off the dog at the 16th District police station, Chicago police said. They didn't leave their names or identifying information about themselves but told police they had found the dog nearby. The police contacted John Garrido, a retired officer who founded The Garrido Stray Rescue Foundation with his wife. Officers generally contact Garrido when they get a stray dog at the station, so they sent a picture of the small dachshund mix, which Garrido quickly posted on his rescue's Facebook page. Comments rolled in: 'This dog looks like Bam Bam????' The dog had a microchip, and when police scanned it, a phone number popped up. The officer Googled the phone number and found Santiago's original flier, quickly sending the information to Garrido. 'I immediately called the station,' Garrido said. 'The whole city has been looking for this dog for the last two months.' An officer contacted Santiago, and by 9:31 p.m. Santiago and Bam Bam had been reunited, police said. After many hugs and a night's sleep, Santiago took Bam Bam to the vet for a checkup, bloodwork and nail trimming. Advertisement Detectives have not made any arrests in the case and said they are still investigating. 'This particular case really tugged at our heartstrings,' said Daphna Nachminovitch, senior vice president of cruelty investigations at the animal rights group PETA. 'An older dog with a very special relationship with his guardian - needless to say, we were moved.' PETA offered a $5,000 reward for any information leading to the dog's safe return. The group was planning to launch several billboards in Chicago to help with the search - but now that Bam Bam has been found, they've converted them to say thank you to the city. 'I spoke with Angel a couple of days ago, and it was very clear that the absence of this dog was really impacting him. I think returning this dog might have saved them both,' Nachminovitch said. She learned on Wednesday that Bam Bam, who she called a 'small older gentleman,' had been reunited with his human. 'Waking up to that news this morning was honestly the best thing ever,' she said. Garrido said, for him, this story has two takeaways - get your pet microchipped, and don't mess with Chicago. 'We don't mess around here,' Garrido said. 'We love our pets.'
