Man shot outside of smoke shop in central Fresno, police say

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A man is recovering in the hospital after Fresno police say he was shot in the chest outside of a smoke shop.

Authorities say a little after 7 pm Sunday, police responded to calls of a shooting outside the Smooth Smoke Shop on Belmont near Orchard.

The victim, identified as a 32-year-old man, is expected to be okay.

Authorities say the suspect ran away eastbound toward First Street and Belmont.

Detectives say the suspected shooter and victim know each other.

Authorities say the two men had a prior run-in before the shooting.

"We have reviewed video surveillance that showed the victim and the suspect were involved in some sort of argument outside the smoke shop, and the suspect shot the victim one time," says Fresno Police Lt. Leslie Williams.

Police say that surveillance is helping detectives identify the suspect as this investigation continues.
