Raul Jose Roberto Nunez, 25, known to family as Bobby, and his 21-year-old girlfriend Stacy Zurita were killed in a July 8, 2022 drive-by shooting in southeast Fresno. The shootings followed a disturbance that began at a family gathering near East Iowa Avenue and North Eighth Street. Court testimony says the fight escalated into a brawl; witnesses reported a car left the scene and then returned. Just after 11 p.m., gunfire was fired from the passenger side of the vehicle, striking both victims. Officers found one person on the sidewalk and the other in the street; both died at Community Regional Medical Center.

Detectives recovered three shell casings and obtained surveillance video that reportedly shows the passenger firing. Investigators identified and arrested Stacy Zurita’s father, 40-year-old Gerardo Zurita, as the driver and her 19-year-old brother, Leobardo Zurita, as the shooter; both were charged with two counts of murder and pleaded not guilty. Nunez’s mother testified during preliminary hearings; she is in a witness protection program. The murder charges remain pending as evidence hearings and testimony continue.

Did anyone at the gathering or in the neighborhood see the vehicle before or after the shooting who hasn’t spoken to investigators?
