Man shot to death in Fresno, two others injured in fight, police say
A man was shot to death and two others were injured in Thursday in Fresno, according to police.
Fresno police were notified by the ShotSpotter technology that multiple shots were fired about 1 a.m. on San Pablo Avenue just north of Divisadero Street in south Fresno, according to Lt. Brian Pierce.
Officers arrived to find a 21-year-old man killed by multiple gunshot wounds, police said. Two others were injured in the altercation — a 23-year-old man with a gunshot wound and a 17-year-old boy who was stabbed — but are now considered stable after being taken to a hospital.
“There’s multiple witnesses and we also have some video surveillance to review at this time,” Pierce said.
Police said video shows there was an altercation at the apartment building before the violence occurred, but what caused the incident isn’t immediately clear.
In a second incident around the same time, police were investigating a gun homicide near East Barstow Avenue and North Angus Avenue in north Fresno, police said.
The homicides mark the 70th and 71st this year in Fresno, police said.
