Tony Torres Jr., 22, and his father, Tony Torres Sr., were fatally shot on June 28, 2013, while sitting in their SUV in the parking lot of a liquor store at First Street and Gettysburg Avenue in Fresno, California. The younger Torres was shot three times in the head at close range; one bullet passed through his head and struck his father, and both men died at the scene.

Surveillance footage and witness testimony placed 23-year-old Michael Rincon at the passenger side of the SUV holding a 9mm semi-automatic handgun and fleeing immediately after the shooting. Rincon was identified as a member of a tagging crew active in the neighborhood. The gun was never recovered, but the jury found Rincon guilty of two counts of first-degree murder after about four hours of deliberation.

In September 2014 Judge John Vogt sentenced Rincon to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Anyone who knew the Torres family, the neighborhood, or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
