Police are searching for two men and have arrested a woman in connection with a shooting at a Manchester Center barbershop in central Fresno on Wednesday.

Officers are looking Reggie Taylor, 28, believed to be the gunman, and Abel Price, 21. Taylor is wanted on suspicion of attempted murder, and Price is wanted on suspicion of conspiracy to commit an assault with a deadly weapon. Both men are gang members, police said Friday.

A barber at Colima's Fade Shop was arguing with a woman about 7 p.m. Wednesday before she left with two men. About a half-hour later, the two men returned and assaulted the barber before one of them pulled out a gun and opened fire on the barber, police said.

The shooter missed the barber but hit a woman bystander, police said. The shooter and his companion then ran to the parking lot and disappeared.

A 22-year-old woman who police said argued with the barber has been arrested.

The shooting victim, a 46-year-old woman, was with her son and 19-year-old daughter inside the barbershop when she was shot, police said. She was taken to Community Regional Medical Center where she is expected to survive.

Anyone with information can call detective Conrado Martin at (559) 621-2421 or Crime Stoppers at (559) 498-7867.
