Francisco Franquez, 50, of Fresno was shot and killed on October 24, 2020, after a long-running dispute with his neighbor, Rodrigo Quezada, at the Trails End Mobile Home Park in northeast Fresno. The confrontation escalated that morning and Quezada shot Franquez multiple times in the upper body; Franquez died at Community Regional Medical Center despite emergency treatment. Neighbors and police had responded to numerous disturbance calls between the two in prior years.

Quezada surrendered to police after the shooting and was taken into custody. He was initially charged with first-degree murder; inconsistent witness statements and other complexities in the case led to a later plea agreement in which Quezada pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter with additional firearm enhancements. The sentence length and plea outcome left the Franquez family dissatisfied as they mourned a man they described as kind and hardworking.

Did anyone in the Trails End community know more about the history between the two men or see what happened that morning?
