ABC13 spoke with school employees and parents who said Sorto was loved by his students and that he would be deeply missed.
New surveillance video released by the Pasadena Police Department shows three people they believe to be suspects involved, on the day of the murder.
The video from the back of the apartment shows Sorto was inside alongside three men speaking briefly outside.
About a minute later, the video shows one of the men is seen walking past with his head and face covered before glancing into the back door of the apartment unit.
Shortly after, the man runs back to where he was speaking with the other men.

A few minutes later, a surveillance video captured one of the men waiting around before entering the apartment. He looks directly at the camera and about thirty seconds after, another one of the three men runs in with what appears to be a gun.
Neighbors who spoke with ABC13 recall hearing gunshots before police arrived.
Sorto was found with a gunshot wound to his chest and was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Anyone with information that could help the investigation is able to reach out to Detective C. MacGregor at 713-475-7891 or Detective I. Mascorro at 713-475-4978.
