Richard Spruell, 46, was killed on November 12, 2022, in Central Fresno. He and a friend, Angelique Edwards, were sitting in a pickup on Fedora Avenue, just west of Blackstone Avenue, when an unknown person approached and fired at least 13 rounds into the vehicle, striking the passenger side where Spruell was seated. Both victims suffered multiple gunshot wounds and died shortly after the attack.

The Fresno Police Department described the shooting as horrific and said the number of rounds fired indicated a clear intent to kill. Investigators noted both victims had criminal histories and some gang affiliations, but could not definitively link the homicides to gang activity. Police sought surveillance footage and public tips; no arrests had been announced.

Does anyone in Central Fresno recall seeing a pickup or suspicious activity on Fedora Avenue that night, or have surveillance that could help identify the shooter?
