Imer Eliu Alvarado, 34, was shot and killed in Fresno on May 17, 2017. The shooting happened in the early morning in a neighborhood near Fourth Street and Belmont Avenue. Alvarado was found lying in the street after multiple gunshots were fired; police received no emergency calls that night and he was already unresponsive when officers arrived.

Alvarado, who was a member of the LGBTQ+ community, was reportedly dressed in women’s clothing when he was killed. That detail, and the location several blocks from the gay bar Alibi, prompted investigators to consider whether the attack might have been motivated by bias. A definitive motive has not been established and the case remains under investigation.

If anyone saw activity in the Fourth and Belmont area that morning or has information about this shooting, please come forward to help fill the gaps in this investigation.
