Suspect identified in Fresno early morning shooting. Victim was mom’s boyfriend

Police identified Logan Kula, 19, as the suspect who allegedly shot a 52-year-old man at a large apartment complex in southeast Fresno.

The incident took place at The Landing complex near North Peach and East Olive Avenues about 6 a.m. The victim was the boyfriend of Kula’s mother, said Lt. Bill Dooley, correcting an earlier police report that the man was Kula’s father. The victim was shot in the abdomen and was in critical but stable condition after undergoing surgery at Community Regional Medical Center.

The suspect fled after the shooting and was taken into custody after he was located near a canal bank near North Chestnut Avenue. He was initially uncooperative with officers but was identified after he was fingerprinted at police headquarters.

What chargers he would face were not initially disclosed, but Dooley said it appeared that he would be booked on charges of assault with a deadly weapon.
