1 dead, 1 injured after shooting near central Fresno businesses

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- One person has died and another victim has been taken to the hospital following a shooting near central Fresno businesses.

Fresno Police say they responded to a ShotSpotter alert and calls of shots fired just before noon Wednesday near Blackstone and Princeton Avenues.

When officers arrived, they found a man in his mid-20s with a gunshot wound to his upper body.

Police tried to save the man but he died at the scene.

A second victim, also identified as a man in his mid-20s, was found shot in the face and has been taken to the hospital.

Fresno Police Lt. Paul Cervantes says they have "good video" from inside a nearby smoke shop that captured a large portion of the incident.

He says there appear to be three subjects inside the smoke shop who waited for the victims to arrive before shooting at them.

It's unknown if the victims fired back.

The owner of the smoke shop is cooperating with the police. No other businesses appear to be struck by gunfire.

Cervantes says the suspects took off on foot and no suspect info is available at this time.
