George Torres, 25, was killed during a robbery outside an am/pm convenience store on Perris Boulevard in Perris, California on November 26, 2021. Torres and a friend, identified only as J.N., had stopped at the store in the early morning; J.N. went inside to buy cigarettes while Torres remained near their car. Two brothers, Edgar Sanchez Ortega and Bryan Ortega, approached the vehicle intending to rob them. Bryan Ortega, armed with a 9mm handgun, demanded belongings.

J.N. complied, but Torres resisted and reached for a pistol hidden in his car. Bryan Ortega fired multiple times into the vehicle, fatally wounding Torres. The Ortega brothers fled and were later arrested; prosecutors charged both with first-degree murder, robbery, attempted robbery and a special-circumstance allegation for killing during a robbery, with additional gun and great bodily injury allegations against Bryan Ortega.

Does anyone have information about Torres’ movements that night or recollections from Perris Boulevard early on November 26, 2021?
