The Fresno County Sheriff-Coroner’s office is seeking the public’s help in locating the family of Ninketh Rasmy, 57, who died after a car struck him while walking in southeast Fresno on Halloween.
Fresno County sheriff’s spokesman Tony Botti said Rasmy was walking near the intersection of Church Avenue and Ninth Street when a car hit him. He was taken to the hospital, but died on Dec. 13.
