Anthony Daniel Hayward was 28 when he was shot and killed on the morning of May 6, 2022, at a memorial gathering held at a residence on Pierce Street in Riverside. The memorial had been for victims of a previous shooting earlier that week. An argument at the gathering escalated into a fatal shooting; the Riverside Police Department identified Hayward as the victim in a news release the next day.

Hayward was born October 7, 1993, in Corona and lived in Riverside. He is survived by his parents, Kelly and Dominic Aguilar, brothers Jonathan and Jordan, and his young son Abel. Friends and family remembered his love of the Dallas Cowboys, Mexican food, Marvel movies, and spending time with loved ones.

Police arrested a 14-year-old boy on suspicion of murder and found illegal gambling machines at the property, which may have been used for storage. Investigators were seeking additional suspects and witnesses. If anyone has information about what happened that morning, please come forward.
