Jun 03, 2026
Two brothers have been charged with murder in the death of Jorge Sanchez following a confrontation near Lake June Road and Peachtree, according to police.
For Sanchez’s family, the loss has been made even more painful by news they learned one day after his death: Sanchez was about to become a fat
her.
His girlfriend, Yuliana Moreno, said she discovered she was pregnant after he was killed.
Before the confrontation turned deadly, Moreno said Sanchez had become concerned about men who had been driving aggressively.
Moreno said Sanchez’s last words to her came after he dropped her off at work.
“He said, all right, I’m gonna go now. I’ma just make sure that those guys don’t follow me. I love you, and I’ll see you when you get out of work,” said Moreno.
Minutes later, police said a confrontation near Lake June Road and Peachtree turned deadly.
According to an arrest affidavit, witnesses told police that Moises Mora blocked Sanchez’s vehicle at a stoplight. Investigators said a fight broke out between the two men. Moments later, police said Daniel Mora got out of a truck and pulled out a gun.
Sanchez’s sister, Evelyn Sanchez, said the shooting was unjustified.
“There was no reason to shoot my brother 11 times. Like, there was no reasons at all. My brother, all he did was just defend himself,” said Sanchez.
She said her brother was shot before he had a chance to react.
“He got shot from the back. He didn’t even have time to react,” said Sanchez.
Jorge died at a hospital, never knowing that he was about to become a father.
Moreno said she hopes to honor Sanchez’s memory through their child.
“My boyfriend is gone, and I’m carrying his child,” said Moreno.
Later, Moreno reflected on the future she now faces without him.
“He’s here with my baby and I do hope that as a boy just so our baby could grow up with his name,” said Moreno.
