Salvador Heredia-Arriaga wanted to give something back to his community, so after graduating from UC Santa Cruz, he moved home to Natomas, took a job as a substitute teacher and helped coach the high school football team.
"You have the privilege of going to college," his mother, Susan Heredia, vice president of the Natomas Unified School Board, recalled telling him. "Use that privilege to make a difference."
Late Friday night, two armed men entered an apartment on the 2600 block of River Plaza Drive in south Natomas and shot and killed Heredia-Arriaga, according to police. Heredia-Arriaga (left in photo supplied by his family) was 26.
Based on a preliminary investigation, detectives believe Heredia-Arriaga was just visiting friends when he arrived in the middle of a home-invasion robbery at the River Pointe apartment complex, interrupting the intruders.

The suspects are described as black, in their late teens to early 20s, wearing dark hooded sweatshirts and blue jeans.
