A woman was shot multiple times Saturday in Fresno.

The shooting happened about 4:50 p.m., when officers were called to The Courtyard at Central Park apartments in the 4400 block of North Cornelia Avenue west of Highway 99, Fresno Police Lt. Paul Cervantes said.

Officers arrived and found a woman in her late 20s with multiple gunshot wounds to her upper body. She was taken to Community Regional Medical Center and was listed in critical but stable condition.

It was not known what led up to the shooting and a motive was not clear, Cervantes said. Officers didn’t have a suspect description.

Cervantes said the woman was shot outside of the apartment.

“There is no indication she was accompanied by anyone else,” he said. “We do have information that she was accosted by an unknown subject at some point and shots rang out and caused her to be a victim of gunfire.”

Detectives are investigating the shooting. Witnesses told officers they heard the gunshots, but didn’t see a suspect.

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