Two shot on Fresno road end up at DMV office. Police seeking suspect vehicle

Two people were shot on a Fresno road Wednesday afternoon in a car-to-car shooting that ended at the DMV office on Olive Avenue.

The two victims were in a white Honda Accord south of the DMV office at Olive and Weber avenues when they were shot by people in another vehicle at 1:30 p.m., according to Fresno police spokesman Felipe Uribe.

They then drove north on Weber before stopping in the parking lot of the DMV office in an attempt to get help.

A girl arrived to the scene around 1:45 p.m., saw the bullet-riddled Honda and screamed, “That’s my dad.”

A law enforcement source said the suspect vehicle got away, potentially on southbound Highway 99.

Investigators did not have an immediate description of the vehicle.

The victims were a 38-year-old man and 16-year-old boy. Uribe said the man was in critical condition.

Police were not sure if the shooting was gang-related.

“We don’t know where this exactly happened,” Uribe said. “We do know the victims drove their vehicle to the DMV parking lot.”

Detectives are locating surveillance cameras to see where the shooting started.

Uribe said ShotSpotter activation indicated six rounds were fired south of Olive and Weber avenues.

The area around Olive and Weber has since re-opened to traffic.

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