Sandra Portillo de Sanchez, 45, was shot and killed on July 10, 2019, in Parlier, California. The shooting happened about 7 p.m. in the 14000 block of Manning Avenue after witnesses reported a domestic disturbance; calls shortly afterward reported shots fired. Deputies found Portillo de Sanchez deceased inside a bedroom.

Investigators say an argument began between two females at the residence and escalated when a man joined. During that confrontation an unknown suspect fired a shot that struck Portillo de Sanchez. The case was initially classified as a suspicious death; several people at the scene were detained for questioning but no arrests were announced. Detectives from the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office were continuing to interview witnesses and gather evidence.

Anyone with information was asked to contact Detective Carl Chalmers, Detective Juan Galindo, or the Crime Stoppers hotline. Did anyone in the community witness the disturbance on Manning Avenue that evening or have tips that could help identify the shooter?
