ShotSpotter alerts police to southeast Fresno shooting
A man was shot in southeast Fresno on Monday – an incident police said was brought to their attention by the ShotSpotter device that alerts the department to gunshots.
Lt. Steve Card said the shooting happened about 8:30 p.m. That’s when police received a ShotSpotter call near Maple and Montecito avenues. Soon after, officers responded to a shooting victim call at Ranchwood Condos where they found a man, who is believed to be 18, with a gunshot wound to his upper body, Card said.
It appeared to police that the man drove himself to the condos, and he may have been with someone when he was shot, Card said. Both the victim and the possible witness are not cooperating, and the victim was in stable condition.
Card said police are searching for a white Chrysler 300 that may have been involved in the shooting. It was last seen going south on Maple Avenue. Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 559-498-7867 (STOP).
