Yvonne De La Torre remembers her partner, Alejandro Campos Rios, as a doting grandfather who made friends everywhere he went.
“He was a very loving person. He had a very good heart,” she said.
Their 29 years together ended abruptly on March 6, 2024, when Rios was standing outside a McDonald’s in Fullerton, California. A manager called the Fullerton Police Department on him while he stood outside of the front doors, swinging a belt. De La Torre said the 50-year-old Rios had severe mental health issues and was living on the streets.
