FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Fresno Police are looking for two people accused of killing a 22-year-old man overnight Sunday.



Authorities said the man was found lying in the roadway with gunshot wounds near Chestnut and McKinley Avenues. Family members are identifying him as Robert Reynolds. He was rushed to the hospital around 4 a.m. where he died from his injuries.



It's unclear if the shooting was gang-related but police say they have leads on who may have pulled the trigger.



"We don't have any reason to believe this is a random incident," Lt. Jon Papaleo with the Fresno Police Department said. "We believe the individuals possibly knew each other and that the individuals were involved in some kind of disturbance."



Family members said Reynolds was shot in the back multiple times. They said his phone was stolen as well.
