Detectives Ask Community for Help in Identifying Shooting Suspects

On October 25, 2026, at 2:24 am, officers responded south of the tower, near Fulton and Dennett, for shots fired in the area. Officers determined a studio in the area was used to film a rap video. Several individuals who were denied entry left the location and fired multiple rounds, striking the exterior of a business on Fulton Ave. It appears there was an exchange of gunfire. No injuries have been reported, and the investigation remains ongoing. Our investigation will include looking into any prior calls for service at that location.
A preliminary review of video indicated the involved subjects had no connection to Tower District activities.
Last year at this time, there were 128 shooting incidents in the city, one of the lowest years on record. This year, we have experienced 132 shooting incidents, four more than last year.
Anyone with information related to this incident is asked to call the Fresno Police Department at 559-621-7000.

The Fresno Police Department will conduct a traffic safety operation October 24, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. focused on the most dangerous driver behaviors that put the safety of people biking or walking at risk.
These violations include speeding, making illegal turns, failing to yield or provide right of way to bicyclists or pedestrians, or failing to stop for signs and signals.
The Fresno Police Department offers steps drivers and pedestrians can take to greatly reduce the risk of getting injured or in a crash:
Pedestrians
· Be predictable. Use crosswalks when available.
· Take notice of approaching vehicles and practice due care.
· Do not walk or run into the path of a vehicle. At 30 mph, a driver needs at least 90 feet to stop.
· Be visible. Make it easy for drivers to see you – wear light colors, reflective material and carry a flashlight, particularly at dawn, dusk or at night.
· Be extra careful crossing streets or entering crosswalks at night when it is harder to see, or when crossing busier streets with more lanes and higher speed limits.
Drivers
· Do not speed, and slow down at intersections. Be prepared to stop for pedestrians at marked and unmarked crosswalks, and between intersections where pedestrians may cross.
· Avoid blocking crosswalks while waiting to make a right-hand turn.
· Never drive impaired.
Bicyclists
· Obey traffic laws, use hand signals, use lights at night (front white light and rear red reflector), and wear a helmet.
· Bicyclists must travel in the same direction of traffic and have the same requirements as any slow-moving vehicle.
· Avoid the door zone: do not ride too closely to parked cars.
· If there’s a bike lane, use it, unless making a left turn, passing, or approaching a place where a right turn is allowed.
· Yield to pedestrians. Bicyclists must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians within marked crosswalks or within unmarked crosswalks at intersections, and between intersections where pedestrians may cross. 
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
