We are seeking signatures for a petition to prosecute the assailant of a heinous crime and murder of 10 year old Anthony Simon Duran. Please join our fight for Justice as Anthony isn’t here to speak for himself anymore. Help bring  Justice and closure to his family during this  difficult time. If we don’t stand for change we will fail our future! Every signature counts we thank you in advance. We need to act now before the authorities dispose of evidence and sweep this under the rug. Time is important. Our Goal is to # 1 reach the desk of Mayor Matthew Serratto and Merced County District Attorney Nicole Silveira and more importantly an arrest and eventual conviction.

Here now is the police version. Judge for yourself..

According to the police department, Duran was playing basketball inside the trampoline center when he and another child got into a fight. As a result, Duran collapsed and the other juvenile fled on foot. Duran was transported to a regional trauma center but did not survive. Investigators say the incident was captured on the establishment’s security video and statements were received from 35 people – including staff, parents, and children who were at the scene. They have also identified the other child involved in the fight and have been in contact with the parents. Meanwhile, detectives are working with medical staff and the Merced County Coroner’s Office to determine the cause of death. Officials with the Merced Police Department say they are reviewing the incident with the Merced County District Attorney to determine if charges will be filed against the other child involved in the fight. The other child has not been officially identified. 
We shouldn’t have to wait another minute! Arrest this murderer before he hurts another kid!

District Attorney Nicole Silveira
