Fontana Deputies Arrest Alberto Zamurio After he Attempted to Strike the Victim with a Pipe

DATE/TIME: Tuesday, October 5, 2021 / 1:55 P.M.

INCIDENT: Assault with a Deadly Weapon

LOCATION: 9000 Block of Carob Avenue, unincorporated Fontana

SUSPECT(S): Alberto Zamurio, age 39, a resident of Apple Valley

VICTIM(S): Confidential male

SUMMARY: On Tuesday, October 5, 2021, at about 1:55 P.M., deputies responded to a disturbance involving a male subject, who was possibly under the influence of drugs, hanging nude photographs on fences near children. Deputies later identified the subject as Alberto Zamurio, age 39, a resident of Apple Valley.

When deputies arrived, they found Zamurio armed with a large plastic pipe and a beer bottle. Zamurio swung the pipe at a nearby victim who had to move to avoid being struck. Zamurio refused to comply with commands, raised the pipe again, and walked away. Deputies kept a safe distance and continued to give Zamurio commands to drop the weapons. After a short distance, he complied, and was arrested without incident. The pipe was recovered as evidence and Zamurio was booked at the West Valley Detention Center for assault with a deadly weapon.
