Amanda Berry, 44, was found dead in the front yard of a home at McKinley and Temperance avenues in Fresno County on November 6, 2022. Deputies answered a report of an unconscious woman, attempted CPR, and Berry was pronounced dead at the scene. Her injuries were inconsistent with a natural death and the case was investigated as a homicide.

Investigators determined Berry had been shot. Authorities identified 32-year-old Dennis Happawana as a suspect after matching ammunition casings from the scene to casings found at his property and linking notes at both locations through handwriting analysis. Happawana’s parents said he had been experiencing mental health issues before the incident. On December 6, 2022, Happawana was shot and killed by deputies after a standoff in which he fired at a deputy vehicle and attempted to blow up his family’s home; investigators were then able to link him definitively to Berry’s death.

Does anyone have information about Berry’s movements in Fresno leading up to November 6, 2022?
