Lance San was 17 and from Fresno when he was fatally shot on September 21, 2020. Around 7:00 p.m. he was driving near North Barton Avenue and East Grant Avenue when his vehicle crashed into a stop sign; he was found inside with two gunshot wounds and died after being taken to a local hospital.

Fresno Police homicide detectives investigated for more than a year and identified a suspect who was 15 at the time of the shooting. The motive was determined to be robbery. That suspect, whose name has not been released because he is a minor, was in custody at the Juvenile Justice Campus on unrelated charges and was charged with Lance’s murder on October 29, 2021.

Lance’s death drew widespread attention in Fresno because of youth violence and its effect on families and neighborhoods. If anyone knew Lance or has information about the events that night, please share what you know with investigators.
