Mayor David Zamora, the popular mayor of Colton has been killed in a car crash apparently moments after he suffered a heart attack.  He was driving in his car near city hall when he fell ill, according to sources.

The City of Colton has issued the following statement:

"It is with deep sadness that the City of Colton announces the passing of Mayor David R. Zamora at approximately 2:00 pm today. Ever dedicated to City business and the community he loved, Mayor Zamora was driving from home to City Hall when he suffered a heart attack, which resulted in a single car accident on La Cadena Avenue with no other persons involved.
“As was widely reported just last week following Mayor Zamora’s first State of the City address, with love and conviction he felt that the City of Colton has embarked – in his own words – upon a ‘New Beginning’, said City Manager Rod Foster. We are confident that his legacy will be well-served by the City continuing in the spirit of his leadership.”
Our hearts and prayers go out to his wife, Sarah Zamora, his children, grandchildren, the extended Zamora family and all of his friends and loved ones. Funeral announcements and additional information will be announced when available."

We are trying to find out if this is our long lost cousin. He would be this age and looks just like our Uncle Robert Zamora. David's divorced parents are Frank and Rosalie Zamora.
Thank you,
