[size=12]Two men were found shot to death in the northwestern area of Fontana on Wednesday night, Dec. 28.

Fontana Police Department officers responded to North Heritage Park in the 7200 block of North Heritage Circle, near Baseline Avenue, for a report of gunshots in the area at about 8:40 p.m.

When officers arrived, they found the victims inside a vehicle. The men were pronounced deceased at the scene by paramedics.
One of the victims was identified as Robert Ruiz, a 22-year-old resident of Montclair, according to family members who gathered at the small park to mourn their loss on Thursday morning, Dec. 29.
"He was a caring, good person," said Crystal Ruiz, the victim's sister. "I don't know why someone would do this to him."
Robert Ruiz was the youngest of six children in the family, she said.
Natalie Ruiz, another sister, said Robert was a sweet man who helped take care of his siblings' children.
"He had so much to live for," she said.
Crystal Ruiz said the family members received a phone call from police early in the morning regarding the tragedy, but they did not receive many other details about the case and did not know the name of the other victim of the apparent double homicide.
Overall in 2016, there have been a total of 12 murders reported in Fontana, police said. At least four of the homicides took place at city parks, but there was not yet any indication that any of those events were related.
The suspect(s) are unknown at this time, police said. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Fontana P.D. at [url=tel:(909) 350-7700](909) 350-7700[/url].

I wonder what that lying, conniving bish will come up with to explain away a dozen murders, which is definitely not happening in Irvine, Fremont and those other truly safe cities.
