Dezon Cheatham, an 18-year-old from Fresno, California, was found shot to death in his car on January 8, 2020, near Tyler Avenue and Fifth Street. Cheatham had recently graduated high school and enlisted in the United States Army. A close friend, 17-year-old Christyan Roberts, was also shot in the face, survived, and was left in critical condition.

Police later arrested two teenagers, ages 14 and 16, who were related and lived in the same household; authorities said evidence found after the arrests linked them to the killing. Investigators reported no known gang ties or criminal history for the victims, and the weapon used was not recovered. Dezon’s mother, Tiana Thomas, was seven months pregnant at the time; the family and community held a vigil and received help with funeral expenses.

What details about the disturbance between Dezon and the suspects, or surveillance from the area that might clarify the timeline, can anyone add?
