Fresno Police have announced the arrest of a suspect in a recent double homicide.
Shortly after 1 AM on May 16, 19-year-old Nicole Diaz and a 17-year-old Noah Golding were reportedly gunned down in the area of South Argyle Avenue. Officers responded to reports of gunfire in the area and found the two having suffered multiple gunshot wounds. Diaz was pronounced dead at the scene, and Golding later at the hospital, police said.
Police say a patrol officer happened to be in the area at the time of the shooting and saw a white Chevy Malibu fleeing the area right after. The officer pulled the vehicle over in the area of Peach and Belmont Avenues, detaining both occupants — the 16-year-old driver and his passenger, identified as 21-year-old Nicholas House.
House was reportedly found to be in possession of two semi-automatic firearms, and was soon determined by investigators to be the primary suspect in the shooting. The driver was released at the scene, police said.
House was arrested and booked on two counts of murder.
