On September 29, 2022, 44-year-old Fresno resident Joese Lopez-Palomar was shot and killed in the afternoon. Officers responded to a ShotSpotter activation around 2:17 p.m. in the 4600 block of East Iowa Avenue near Maple and Tulare Avenues and found Lopez-Palomar unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Community Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead shortly after.

Investigators say Lopez-Palomar was outside his residence when an unknown male approached, confronted him and opened fire; the shooter fled before police arrived. The motive remains unclear. No arrests have been announced and the Fresno Police Department is asking anyone with information or neighborhood surveillance footage to come forward.

Lopez-Palomar is remembered by family as a dedicated father and hard worker. Does anyone in the area have information or footage that could help this investigation?
