A man who was shot and killed in Easton has been identified as Alexis Lopez Gutierrez, 24, of Sanger, the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office said Sunday.

There are no further updates for now, Sheriff’s Office spokesman Tony Botti said. The investigation is ongoing.

The shooting happened about 7 p.m. Friday in the area of Fantz and Geneva avenues.

When officers arrived, they found a man with a gunshot wound and administered first aid. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
