Miguel Zamora, 18, male, was shot late on the night of October 9, 2025, near the intersection of F Street and King Avenue in Tulare. Officers responded around 10:45 p.m. to find two victims with gunshot wounds; one was unresponsive at the scene and later died at the hospital the next day. The other victim survived with a non-life-threatening injury. Initial reports did not identify the deceased as authorities worked to notify family.
In the days that followed, loved ones and community notices identified the victim as Miguel. A funeral home listing for Farmersville confirmed his age and that he passed away on October 10, 2025, consistent with accounts that he succumbed to his injuries after the late-night shooting. A separate memorial entry recorded his death as occurring in Tulare on October 9, reflecting the date of the attack rather than the hospital pronouncement.
Detectives continued processing evidence from the scene and, after linking details from a robbery reported on October 20 to the earlier homicide, they focused on a teenage suspect. On October 21, officers attempted a traffic stop; the suspect fled on foot but was arrested after a brief pursuit. Police described the arrestee only as a male juvenile and withheld his name because of his age. Investigators said the circumstances of the October 20 robbery closely mirrored those of the October 9 killing, and that evidence tied the same person to both crimes; both cases remain active.
