Fatal shooting is Kingsburg’s first homicide of the year. Victim identified

A 23-year-old Kingsburg man was killed Monday night in the city’s first homicide of the year.

Police were dispatched to a call of shots fired in the 1700 block of 18th Avenue, just before 9 p.m. There, officers found a man, identified Tuesday as Shawn Vigo, in the road.

He had been shot, according to the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office, which took over the investigation.

Vigo was treated by EMS personal but died at the scene, the sheriff’s office said.
