Two Teens Sought After Shooting Incident in West Central Fresno

On Saturday afternoon, around 2 p.m., a quiet residential stretch of West Berkeley Avenue in Fresno turned chaotic when a young man in his twenties was shot multiple times right in front of his own house. Neighbors reported hearing raised voices, followed shortly by the crack of gunfire.

When police arrived, they found the victim clutching his legs and right hand, both riddled with bullet wounds. Emergency crews rushed him to the hospital. Doctors say his injuries are serious, yet he’s expected to pull through.

According to detectives, two teenagers—estimated to be between 15 and 17 years old—approached the man wearing dark clothing. A heated verbal exchange broke out, and one of the youths then produced a handgun and opened fire. After the shots rang out, both fled on foot, disappearing into the surrounding neighborhood.

The motive remains unclear. Investigators are exploring whether the altercation had any gang‑related undertones, but no definitive link has been confirmed yet. What they do know is that the community is rattled, and the police are working overtime to piece together the events leading up to the shooting.

Fresno Police are urging anyone who might have seen something—no matter how small or seemingly insignificant—to come forward. Even a brief glimpse of a teenager running away or a car parked nearby could prove crucial. Tips can be submitted through the department’s tip line or online portal.

As the investigation continues, residents are reminded to stay vigilant and report suspicious activity. The hope is that, with public assistance, the suspects will be located quickly and brought to justice, bringing some peace back to the neighborhood.
