Fresno Police are pleading for the public’s help, with a gunman on the loose after a deadly weekend shooting in Central Fresno. Around 3: 00 a. m. Saturday, police responded to a report of a fight at an apartment complex near Ninth Street and Olive Avenue. ‘It appears there was a party in one of the apartments of the complex, during which time it became too large and uncontrollable for the individual who was hosting it,” said Fresno Police Lieutenant Brian Valles. Guests were sent out into a common area, and that’s where the fight turned into gunfire, hitting two people. “One was a 33-year-old adult male, who was suffering from gunshot wounds to his lower body. This individual was transported to CRMC, treated, and then released. The other was our victim in this incident, Jordon Aubuchon, 22 years old, Fresno,” said Lt. Valles. Aubuchon was transported to Community Regional Medical Center in Downtown Fresno, where he would die from his injuries. Amid online speculation about the victim’s potential gang involvement, we pressed police about his background. Lt. Valles described him as someone not typically involved in these situations. “Minimal, very minimal criminal history, I think essentially a misdemeanor offense, but nothing indicating, there’s no gang indication or anything like that,” Lt. Valles said. Signs of the tragedy remain at the Laurel Canyon Apartments. Outside sits a small vigil, with candles burning as the rain poured down. And online, family grieving the loss of a young life. calling Aubuchon an “amazing kid,” who “didn’t deserve this.” Police say they’ve spoken to several witnesses but they need the public’s help to find the killer. Lt. Valles said, “I think it’s important that if anyone has any information on the individual who they know did this, because we know that there are witnesses. Being that the fact that there was a large party and by the time the officers got there, everyone was already kind of spread out and dispersed.” Action News did reach out to the victim’s family for a statement, but they declined. Anyone with information regarding a potential suspect is asked to contact the Fresno Police Department.
