FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Two people are now in custody following a weekend shooting in northeast Fresno that left a woman dead.

Fresno police say 18-year-old Nevaeh Solomon turned herself in and has been booked into the Fresno County Jail.

Detectives had been looking for her as an alleged accessory to the crime.

Police say the women are behind the shooting of 19-year-old Aaliyah Bonman.

She got into a fight with another woman early Saturday morning at Cedar and Nees.

Bonman was shot and later died at the hospital.

The woman who was shot and killed in northeast Fresno over the weekend has been identified as 19-year-old Aaliyah Bonman.
