On the evening of December 28, 2016, Robert Ruiz, 22, was found shot to death inside a parked car in Fontana at about 8:40 p.m. The vehicle was in the 7200 block of North Heritage Circle, near a local park. Victor Hernandez, also 22 and from Pomona, was discovered dead alongside Ruiz. Fontana police arrived after reports of gunshots and found both men deceased in the car.

Police identified and arrested a suspect the next day. On December 29, 2016, 21-year-old Roberto Colon of Fontana was taken into custody without incident and booked on suspicion of murder at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga; authorities did not immediately provide a motive. Ruiz’s mother described him as a good boy, and the family planned to lay him to rest beside his father, who had died of cancer.
