Deadly shooting erupts at a parking lot of a Fresno liquor store

A man was shot and killed Thursday night at a parking lot of a central Fresno liquor store.

Officers were called just after 9:30 p.m. to Ashlan and Marks avenues, where they found a 28-year-old man lying in the parking lot of Dan’s Liquor with two gunshot wounds to his upper body, according to Fresno police Lt. Anthony DeWall.

The victim, identified Saturday as Christopher Moore of Fresno, was taken to Community Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead.

DeWall said witnesses told investigators the victim was in the parking lot with a group of friends when two men approached the group and began to open fire.

The victim was the only person struck by gun fire, DeWall said.

Officers were looking for surveillance video from nearby businesses that may have caught the incident on footage.
