Marco Amaya Diaz, 55, was shot and killed at a mobile home on Clarkson Avenue near Cedar in Fresno, California, on March 17, 2022. The family had been preparing for a quinceañera when Marco’s 22-year-old son, Eduardo Amaya, began shooting family members. Marco was found dead at the scene; his 48-year-old wife and 27-year-old daughter suffered serious gunshot wounds and were taken to hospital.

After the initial shooting, Eduardo fled into a nearby orchard, firing additional shots including at dogs and at another man who was not injured. A sheriff’s helicopter located him and deputies arrested him on the ground; the firearm used was recovered. Eduardo was charged with one count of murder, three counts of attempted murder, and two counts of child endangerment and was being held in Fresno County Jail without bail. Investigators noted Eduardo had a history of mental illness but offered no motive for the attack.

If anyone knew Marco or was at the mobile home that day, can you share details that might help understand what happened?
