Tony Aguirre

Gabriel Daniel Fernandez (February 20, 2005 – May 24, 2013) was an eight-year-old boy from Palmdale, California, United States, who died after months of severe abuse and torture. His death resulted from a beating inflicted by his mother, Pearl Fernandez, and her boyfriend, Isauro Aguirre. Both were charged and convicted of first-degree murder with special circumstances of torture. Pearl was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole and Aguirre was sentenced to death. Four social workers involved in the case were charged with child neglect and falsifying public records, but these charges were later dropped.
