ANTIOCH — An alleged San Francisco gang member has been charged with murdering an Antioch resident in what authorities have described as a targeted assassination over a years-old gang feud.
Natali Cisneros, a 26-year-old amateur football player and Antioch resident, was shot and killed by at least one gunman while walking his dog near his home, authorities said. The suspect has been identified as Darnel Scott, 22, who was charged Tuesday with murder and lying in wait, meaning he’ll be sentenced to life without parole if convicted as charged.
Scott is an alleged member of the Double Rock gang, based in San Francisco. Cisneros was affiliated with Tre-4, a gang that originated in San Francisco but has spread throughout the Bay Area. In 2020, Cisneros’ cousin, Reno “Baby” Fiapoto, was gunned down on the Bay Bridge in a shooting that police believe was committed by a Double Rock member, according to court records.
Authorities say that last Jan. 6, Scott and another person waited outside Cisneros’ home on the 3900 block of Rockford Drive in Antioch for hours, intent on killing him. When Cisneros emerged, he was shot repeatedly. Thus far, only Scott has been charged.
In 2021, Cisneros was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison for carrying a pistol and crashing his car in a failed attempt to evade Pittsburg police. In a letter to the court, he said he began carrying a gun after Fiapoto was killed, and was still attempting to cope with the loss of a loved one.
“I thought for some reason the gun would protect me but I was so wrong,” Cisneros wrote. He also reflected on his life, saying he’d lost his mother to long-term incarceration in a drug case, but called his 2020 arrest a wakeup call.
In 2021, Cisneros wrote that he was spending his time hanging out with his wife, and revisiting his love for football. He played the sport at San Francisco’s Balboa High School and joined an amateur league as a way of moving on from “negative influences,” he wrote.
Cisneros wrote that he hoped to find work as a security guard, start a family and reunite with his mother.
“I know I have made mistakes in the past but this time feels different,” he wrote. “I feel like things are looking better in the future.”
