Fontana police arrest "rogue" mini-biker for riding against traffic, running through stop signs
Fontana police shared a video of an interesting arrest in earlier August, when they took what they called a "rogue" mini-bike rider into custody. It happened on Aug. 7, when officers crossed paths with the unidentified rider. They said that he was riding without a license, with no helmet and with "absolutely no regard for traffic safety." "This daredevil zipped onto sidewalks, rode against traffic, and blew through traffic signals like they didn't exist," said a Facebook post from FPD. When officers caught up with the suspect, they said he "wasn't exactly in the mood to cooperate." Video, overlaid with scenes from the comedy film "Nacho Libre," shows one of the officers picking the person up by his shoulders, carrying him across the lane of a gas station and into the back of a patrol vehicle. "In the spirit of keeping things safe and avoiding any use of force, our officers graciously assisted him in achieving his lifelong dream of flight," the post said. It's unclear what charges the rider faced, but officers reminded the public to wear helmets and never driver or ride without a license.

Southern California fitness influencer killed in ‘act of unimaginable violence'
FONTANA, Calif. (KTLA) – New details are emerging in a shocking double slaying outside a sushi restaurant in California's San Bernardino County over the weekend that was heard by an off-duty deputy, who then shot and killed the gunman. The violence unfolded on June 22 in a strip mall parking lot in the 15200 block of Summit Avenue in Fontana just after 9:30 p.m. Gloria Zamora, a 40-year-old fitness influencer and mother of seven, was on a date with her boyfriend, 43-year-old Hector Garduno, a father of four daughters himself, when the couple was fatally gunned down by Zamora's estranged husband, 45-year-old Thomas Albert Tamayo Lizarraga, Fontana Police told the Los Angeles Times. Investigators said Lizarraga targeted Zamora's boyfriend first before turning the gun on her. An unidentified SBSD deputy who heard the gunfire and rushed to the scene in his vehicle spotted the 45-year-old man running away. Bringing his vehicle to a stop in the street, the deputy confronted Lizarraga before fatally shooting him. Zamora and Garduno were rushed to the hospital where they both succumbed to their injuries. The deadly attack came just weeks after Zamora said on a multi-episode podcast that she planned to leave her husband, Sandra Mitchell of Nexstar's KTLA reported. In a GoFundMe organized by her daughter Jazlynne Zamora, the 40-year-old fitness trainer and model, who had amassed nearly 160,000 followers on her Instagram account, was described as an inspirational beacon for other women, someone who reminded them of their strength and potential. 'My mom was senselessly taken from us. She was murdered by my stepdad Tomas, in an act of unimaginable violence,' Jazlynne wrote. 'She leaves behind 7 beautiful children, ages 8 to 24, who are now facing a future without our mother's warmth, guidance and unconditional love.' In a GoFundMe organized by Yesenia Garduno, Hector Garduno was described as a devoted, loving, and hardworking father who did everything he could for his family and four daughters. 'His passing has left a hole in our hearts and a void in our lives that can never be filled,' Yesenia said. Investigators said the gun believed to have been used by Lizarraga was recovered at the scene and booked into evidence.

Gloria Zamora Killed After Speaking Out Against Ex
A California fitness influencer who amassed a huge following and recently shared personal details online about her previous relationship was fatally shot Saturday by her estranged husband while on a date with another person, Fontana Police say. 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.'
