Police identify Fresno man shot and killed while riding bike. It was one of 2 slayings
Police said the victim of one of two homicides over the weekend was shot multiple times while riding a bicycle in south Fresno.
Police said the gunfire notification system ShotSpotter alerted officers to shots about 2:30 a.m. Saturday near Fairview Avenue and Tower Avenue.
Officers arrived to find 37-year-old Enrique Navarro near the parking lot entrance to the Hinton Community Center at the intersection of Fairview and Church avenues with multiple gunshot wounds, police said.
The ShotSpotter reported seven rounds were fired.
Ambulance crews declared Navarro dead at the scene.
There were witnesses to the violence, according to Lt. Paul Cervantes, so the case will weigh heavily on surveillance footage.
His slaying marked the 41st so far this year compared to 53 at the same time last year, according to Cervantes.
Another man was killed about 15 minutes earlier in the night in unrelated violence.
