Shooting erupts at Fresno Little Caesars, police say. Victims then drove to Vallarta
One person was shot Monday night after a shooting took place in the Little Caesars parking lot in Fresno.
Police said multiple shots were fired at 8 p.m. at Fresno and B streets.
Officers arrived and found shell casings in the roadway, but didn’t find any victims, Fresno police Lt. Zeb Price said.
Officers investigated the shooting and saw on surveillance camera a white truck was involved. During the investigation, police received a call of a victim in his 30s with a gunshot wound to the leg at the Vallarta parking lot at Clinton and Weber avenues, Price said.
The victim was taken to a local hospital and is listed in stable condition.
“The truck was at Little Caesars, possibly buying pizza and shooting took place,” Price said. “We have two, maybe three unknown individuals that fired into the truck and the truck then fled and got on the freeway and ended up here.”
Price said the victims were already in the truck when the shooting started before arriving in the parking lot the victims were discarding items, according to witnesses.
Officers were conducting an investigation in the parking lot.
A dark-colored black sedan and a white sedan might’ve been involved, but Price said that was preliminary information.
It is unknown if the men in the white truck were targeted or the other two vehicles were shooting at each other, Price said.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 559-621-7000.
