Fresno police have arrested a suspect in connection to a recent fatal shooting on East Iowa Avenue.
Police responded to the area on the afternoon of Thursday, September 29, after the ShotSpotter system reported gunfire. There they found 44-year-old Jose Guadalupe Lopez-Palomar unresponsive and suffering from several gunshot wounds. He was quickly transported to an area medical center for emergency surgery, but ultimately passed away, police said.
The suspect in the shooting was soon identified as 28-year-old Erick Castrejon-Aceves.
Castrejon-Aceves was located and arrested at an apartment complex on East Andrews Avenue exactly one week later, on Thursday, October 6. He has since been booked at the Fresno County jail on suspicion of murder.
