A 17-year-old boy was found with a stab wound in central Fresno after neighbors reported a disturbance in the area, Lt. Dave Ramos said.

Fresno Police responded to a call of shots fired around 8:45 p.m. in the 2400 block of Tyler Avenue near Fresno Street.

Upon arriving, officers found no evidence of gun shots but did find the juvenile with a stab wound.

“He was running, trying to get away from the area,” Ramos said.
