Anthony Moreno Viveros, 19, was shot and killed on April 26, 2020, on Fuller Drive in Lamont, California. He was taken to Kern Medical, where he was pronounced dead after the Kern County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of a shooting.

Investigators say the shooting began during a confrontation over neighborhood speeding. Court documents identify 27-year-old Lamont resident Juan Pablo Gonzalez Ambriz as the shooter. Ambriz allegedly fired an AR-15 rifle at an SUV outside his home after Viveros and others confronted him about excessive speeding; one round struck Viveros.

Ambriz was arrested and charged in connection with the incident. The killing left Viveros’ family and friends grieving; the criminal case was moving through the courts.
