Police were investigating the city’s 30th homicide of 2021 after a man was found shot inside a vehicle Friday in central Fresno.

According to Lt. Mark Hudson, just after 2 p.m. officers received a ShotSpotter alert of 10 rounds fired in the 4600 block of East Inyo Avenue.

Moments later, officers on Divisadero Street near the Highway 41 overpass were flagged by a driver on the street. Officers stopped and found the passenger, a 26-year-old man, with multiple gunshot wounds and began to perform CPR on the victim. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The man was identified by Fresno County Sheriff-Coroner’s Office as 24-year-old Isaac Jackson of Fresno.

Hudson said officers learned through their investigation that the two men were in the vehicle near an apartment complex in the 4600 block of East Inyo when an unknown gunman fired multiple rounds at them.

The driver fled the scene and was attempting to drive the victim to Community Regional Medical Center when he stopped to flag down the officers.
