Man shot in a drive-by shooting in central Fresno. Police searching for clues

A man was shot in the leg in a drive-by shooting late Tuesday evening in central Fresno, police said.

Just before midnight, police were alerted of a four-round Shotspotter activation in the 410 block of North Yosemite and East Franklin avenues, near Broadway and Belmont avenues.

The victim told police he was standing outside with others when a light-colored BMW rolled up with the right-rear window rolled down and the suspect in the back opened fire on the group, striking the man once in his right shin.

Lt. Tim Tietjen said one of the rounds went between two apartments. No one was injured.

The man was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 559-621-7000.
