Fitness Empire Founder Killed in Robbery | San Francisco News

Fitness mogul Miguel Aguilar, who built a gym empire from scratch, was fatally shot during a botched home robbery in September — a crime that led to the arrest of three suspects and the death of another suspect during a high-speed chase. Now, a judge has approved trial for the three surviving men on murder, assault, and robbery charges, including the killing of Aguilar and the fatal shooting of his accomplice, Mario Melara, during the getaway. One suspect allegedly admitted to firing the fatal shot only after being shot back — and prosecutors say it was in self-defense. The case is set to go to trial with all charges intact.
