Glorira Zamora and her date were killed by the influencer’s second husband.
Fitness influencer Gloria Zamora was killed alongside her date by her estranged husband in California.
Zamora, who is a mother of seven, was gunned down by Thomas Alberto Tamayo Lizarraga days after sharing that she would be leaving him while on her podcast. Zamora was approached by the man while in the parking lot of a sushi restaurant with Hector Garduno.
Lizarraga was then shot and killed by an off-duty sheriff deputy. Officer Steve Reed of the Fontana Police Department spoke with ABC 7 following the incident.
“There was a male and female that were estranged. They were going through a divorce, that led to this.”
Investigators believe that Zamora and her date were tracked down by the husband before gun shots went off. The sound caught the attention of many off-duty law enforcement officers.
Gloria Zamora Shot by Estranged Husband While on Date
The off-duty sheriff deputy from San Bernandino County heard the shots and was able to make his way into the parking lot to confront Lizarraga.
“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.”
A GoFundMe page has been set up by Zamora’s daughter. In the description, it was shared that she was killed by her stepfather. The account is approaching $35,000 raised.
This tragic incident comes shortly after Bodybuilder Zunilda Hoyos Mendez was found dead alongside her partner, Jarrod Gelling, last week at her rented home in Costa del Sol. Police arrived on scene and found the Colombia bodybuilding champion beaten to death with a hammer next to Gelling, who authorities believe died from “self-inflicted stab wounds.”
Mendez, who had been missing since the week prior, had decided to divorce Gelling. Relatives described Gelling as “aggressive” and believed he would lash ot after learning about the decision. According to Mendez’s niece, she was going to help Gelling with a knee operation before her next competition in Portugal. She was then planning to return to Dubai alone.
The investigation remains ongoing by police. They have decided not to release the name of the deputy who shot Lizarraga. Other details will be shared at a later date.
