Justice for Lorenso Sanchez, Jacob Munoz, Caleb Quick, Anthony Calderon, Nana Silva and The Bonds family and so many other victims— Reform Prop 57 & Pass Lorenso’s Law

On April 26, 2025, 17-year-old Lorenso was taken from us—killed in a violent crime while walking away from a group of teens aged 11–15. The 15-year-old attacker stabbed him in the neck.

His mother, shopping inside the mall, was called outside—only to find her son lifeless. Any mother’s worst nightmare.

Lorenso was a talented athlete with big dreams to play football for Fresno State. His life was full of potential. Our community is devastated, and we are standing together to bring justice for Lorenso.

But this fight is not just for him.

Jacob Munoz, Caleb James Quick, Sergio Bonboster, Brandon Chacon, and Nana Silva were also taken from their families in separate violent incidents—each case ending with the offender shielded by California’s Proposition 57. These young men and woman should still be here. Instead, their families are left grieving while those responsible face minimal consequences.

These type of crimes that these minors are committing are premeditated and cold-blooded, reflects an adult level of malice and planning that goes far beyond what should be handled in juvenile court. California law already permits the charging of juveniles as adults in cases involving serious felonies and egregious circumstances. Holding violent minors to adult standards in such cases can result in sentences that more appropriately reflect the severity of their actions. Such accountability will not only serve justice for these families but also send a critical message to deter similar violent acts by minors in the future.

🚫 What Is Prop 57 and Why It’s Failing

Passed in 2016, Proposition 57 makes it much harder to try juveniles as adults—even for murder, sexual assault, armed robbery, and other violent crimes.

While meant to promote rehabilitation, it has instead created a loophole where age shields accountability.

Families are left grieving. Victims are forgotten. Communities are unsafe.

⚖️ What We’re Asking For

In honor of Lorenso, Jacob, and Caleb, we demand that California lawmakers reform Proposition 57 by passing Lorenso’s Law to:

✅ Allow violent juvenile offenders to be tried as adults when appropriate

✅ Ensure serious crimes have serious consequences—regardless of age

✅ Restore justice, safety, and fairness to California communities

If you are old enough to commit a violent crime, you are old enough to face the consequences.

💔 Why This Matters

Lorenso’s, Jacob’s, and Caleb’s stories are not isolated. Too many families have lost loved ones to violent crimes committed by minors who face no meaningful punishment. Prop 57 has become a barrier to justice.

We cannot keep ignoring victims.

We cannot keep giving violent offenders a free pass.

We must act now.
