Rene Mora Anguiano was 19 when he was fatally shot at the Twin Peaks lookout in San Francisco on February 14, 2016. The shooting occurred about 2 a.m. during a violent encounter at the popular vantage point; Julio Peraza, 21, was also killed and an 18-year-old man was critically wounded but survived. The episode included a carjacking in which the suspect took a vehicle from tourists at the scene.

Investigators arrested Richard Contreras and charged him with murder and attempted murder in connection with the killings. At trial Contreras, then 29, said he had been assaulted and robbed days earlier, carried a gun for protection, and opened fire after being taunted and seeing someone with a gun. The jury deadlocked on the murder counts, but convicted him of carjacking at gunpoint, possession of a firearm by a felon, and unlawfully taking a vehicle.

Rene Mora Anguiano’s family described him as a well-liked, radiant young man whose life ended in a senseless act of violence. If anyone has information about the events that night or knew Rene, please share what you can.
