Juan Ramon Guerrero was 22 when he was killed during the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando on June 12, 2016. A third-year student at the University of Central Florida who worked as a telemarketer, Guerrero was at the club with his boyfriend Christopher Drew Leinonen, who was also killed in the attack. Guerrero had recently come out to his family, who were accepting, and his cousin said he preferred staying home to care for his niece and nephew rather than going out to parties.

The shooter, Omar Mateen, opened fire inside the nightclub in the early hours of June 12; Mateen was later killed by police after a three-hour standoff. The attack killed 49 people and was described as both a terrorist act and a hate crime targeting the LGBTQ+ community. Families of the victims, including Guerrero’s, held a joint funeral for him and Leinonen.
