Jonathan Hatami post on Instagram memorialized 4yr old Noah Cuatro who had said: ‘Grandma, you know what time it is? It’s time for you to hold me and tell me you love me.’”

Today is July 6, 2025. For those who don’t know, six years ago today (July 6, 2019), we lost beautiful little Noah Cuatro. He was 4-years-old. ❤️‍🩹  Instagram

Today and every day, we remember little Noah. His life mattered.

On April 30, 2024, Ursula Juarez, Noah’s mother, was sentenced to 22 years plus a life sentence and Jose Cuatro, Noah’s father, was sentenced to 32 years plus a life sentence for the torture and murder of little 4-year-old Noah. They both also waived their rights to appeal.

Sadly, neither ever admitted what happened to Noah or what they did. They only kept saying he drowned in the apartment complex pool (for those who don’t know - my Detectives got hundreds of hours of pool video surveillance. Noah never entered the pool).

I was driving home from a summer family vacation in San Diego in 2019 when I got the call from LASD Detective Susan Velasquez that Noah was in the hospital. You just don’t ever forget these calls.

As a father, a child abuse prosecutor, and just a human being, I will never forget Noah or his family. My heart still breaks for him and his family.

Today, Roxanne and I and my children are thinking about and praying for Eva, Maggie, Noah’s siblings, Noah’s entire familia, Detectives Susan Velasquez and Judy Luera, Susan Johnson who tried so hard to save Noah and the firefighters and paramedics who responded to the scene.

Eva, Noah’s Grandma, will always remember Noah as a “bright little boy.” He was such a “beautiful little boy.” “Every day, he’d tell me, ‘Grandma, you know what time it is? It’s time for you to hold me and tell me you love me.’”

Noah’s last words to his grandma Eva were, not to ever forget about him. “Promise me, Grandma, don’t forget about me.”

Eva will never forget about you Noah. No one will.

We love you Noah ❤️ Never forget.
