Detectives are investigating two homicides that happened within minutes of each other early Saturday morning in Southwest Fresno.
Shot spotter technology has been helping Fresno Police solve crimes since 2015. Now comes along yet another tool to aid investigators in cases involving guns.
An investigation is underway into a shooting at Belmont and Harrison in Central Fresno. It happened around 5:30 Wednesday morning.
Shot Spotter is a network of microphones place throughout the city to pick up the sounds of gun shots. A computer immediately zeroes in on where the shots were fired and police can quickly respond.
Fresno Mayor Lee Brand wants to add $150,000 to the city's budget for three more square miles of the gunshot detection system.
Many thankful the suspect was stopped almost immediately after the shooting began. Police Chief Jerry Dyer attributes officer's quick response to Shot Spotter technology.
