Zamora with Thomas Alberto Tamayo Lizarraga
A woman in the process of getting a divorce and her date were shot and killed outside of a sushi restaurant in the Inland Empire over the weekend. Then, an off-duty sheriff's deputy shot and killed the suspected gunman.
Investigators said the woman's estranged husband tracked her down before shooting her and her date in the parking lot.
Social media influencer and fitness coach Gloria Zamora inspired busy women to get and stay fit. But behind the strength she exhibited on camera, her personal life was taking a hit. Zamora spoke out about her pending divorce to her thousands of followers just a week ago on the Horizon podcast.
On Saturday night, 40-year-old Zamora, alongside 43-year-old Hector Garduno, were shot and killed outside of a Fontana sushi restaurant on Summit Avenue.
"There was a male and a female that were estranged; they were going through a divorce, that led to this," said Officer Steve Reed with the Fontana Police Department.
Investigators say Zamora's estranged husband, Thomas Alberto Tamayo Lizarraga, gunned down the couple in the parking lot.
"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.

"Apparently, he was driving on the street outside the shopping center and heard the gunshots and saw what had happened, made a U-turn at the light, and got out of his vehicle, and confronted the suspect," Reed said.
Lizarraga was shot and killed during the confrontation.

Continue readingIt is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic and sudden loss of my mom Gloria, a loving mother, sister, daughter, and friend. My mom was senselessly taken from us, she was murdered by my step dad Tomas, in an act of unimaginable violence.
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. My mom was more than just a mother — she was a light in her community. She 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. Her courage, kindness, and determination touched the lives of everyone who knew her.
