A man was shot and killed Sunday afternoon at a Fresno apartment.
The shooting happened at 4 p.m. in the 1800 block of West Clinton Avenue, near Weber Avenue, Fresno Police Lt. Brian Pierce said.
Officers arrived and found a man in his 40s with a single gunshot wound to the upper body. The officers rendered aid before he was taken to Community Regional Medical Center where he later died.
Pierce said a disturbance took place inside the apartment when a shot was fired.
The suspect fled in an unknown location and it’s unknown if he lives at the apartment, Pierce said.
“We do have some credible information that we’re following up on,” Pierce said. “However, we’re going to turn that information over to our investigators so they can confirm that information.”
