Robert Torres, 73, of Fresno, California, was shot and killed on the morning of August 27, 2022, around 7:00 a.m. Officers found Torres lying in the roadway near Orchard and Yale Avenues with multiple gunshot wounds; paramedics and Fresno Fire personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.

Detectives identified 50-year-old neighborhood resident Christopher Turner as the primary suspect and determined the shooting arose from a dispute between the two men. Turner was arrested on August 29, 2022, and booked into Fresno County Jail on suspicion of homicide; he was later charged with murder as the case proceeded through the courts.

Few details about the dispute or what led to the shooting have been released publicly, and questions remain about the events immediately before the attack. If anyone saw activity near Orchard and Yale Avenues that morning or knew Torres and Turner, please share what was observed or any information that could help clarify what happened.
