43-year-old victim answering the door shot by a suspect, police say. Suspect arrested
A man was killed in a shooting Thursday night at a Fresno home, police said in an update Friday morning.
Officers responded to a shooting just before 11 p.m. at the 4900 block of East Floradora Avenue, near Olive and Winery avenues, and found 43-year-old Sevastion Prado unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the upper body.
He was taken to the hospital where he died a short time later, police said.
Police Chief Mindy Casto said Prado lived at the location in the garage and his ex-girlfriend came to visit. During the visit, a man knocked on the door — who Casto said is the woman’s current boyfriend.
When Prado answered the door, a single gunshot was fired, striking him in the upper body.
Casto identified the suspected shooter as 46-year-old Michael Jacintho.
Jacintho left the location but he was later arrested at First Street and Clinton Avenue. He was booked into Fresno County jail on suspicion of multiple offenses, including parole violation.
Casto said the shooting was not gang-related, but stemmed from a love triangle. It is unknown if words were exchanged.
Officers knew who the suspect was based on information given by the woman, Casto said.
Jacintho was also wearing an ankle monitor, the chief said.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 559-621-7000.
