Police identify 27-year-old killed in northwest Fresno shooting; suspect arrested

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Police have arrested a 21-year-old man in connection to a deadly shooting in northwest Fresno.

Detectives say Jacob King shot and killed 27-year-old Jason Vitug at a home on Gregory Avenue and Cromwell Avenue late Tuesday night.

King and Vitug were with a group of long-time friends at the house when at some point, King pulled out the gun and fired it with "conscious disregard for human life," investigators said.

Police had not released a motive for the shooting but said there was no argument or disagreement before the shot was fired.

King was booked into the Fresno County Jail on murder charges.

Editor's Note: Authorities originally said the victim, Jason Vitug, was 26 years old. His age has been updated to 27 years old.
