Nicholas Polin, 22, was killed on June 23, 2019, during a birthday party at a home on Pico Avenue in Fresno. Five uninvited teens from a local juvenile gang arrived; Polin asked them to leave. The teens returned and a 16-year-old pulled a handgun and fired into the ceiling. Polin struggled with the gunman while trying to disarm him. During that struggle the gunman fired multiple shots, and Polin was fatally wounded.

The 16-year-old suspect sustained head injuries in the fight, fled the scene, and later was taken into custody after seeking treatment at a local hospital. Police identified the suspect as a member of the Bulldog gang; the police chief, Jerry Dyer, confirmed the arrest and said the juvenile faced charges related to the homicide. Polin’s family described him as a loving son, brother, and friend.

What can anyone who knew Nicholas or who has information about the Bulldog gang’s activity in that neighborhood add to the case?
