A 28-year-old woman was run over and killed Sunday morning in the parking lot of the 99 Cents Only store on North West Avenue at Shields Avenue.
A 45-year-old woman driving the vehicle was exiting the parking lot and did not see the victim, identified Monday by the Fresno County Coroner’s Office as Sydney Barron, laying in the road, according to Fresno Police. The driver immediately stopped and cooperated with investigators. Drugs or alcohol do not appear to be a factor, and it is not known why the woman was on the ground.
Fresno Fire and the Fresno Police collision reconstruction units responded to the scene shortly after 8 a.m. and were able to remove Barron from underneath the car. She was transported to Community Regional Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
The driver has not been identified.
