Jose Duran Jr., 29, of Fresno, stepped between his sister and her estranged husband on April 7, 2019, and was shot in the neck while helping her move out of the West Shaw Village Apartment complex on Fairmont Avenue. His sister, Isabel Duran, had called for help leaving what authorities described as an abusive relationship. Jose and his father were assisting when Erik Ordonez retrieved a handgun, pointed it at Isabel, and fired; Jose shielded his sister and was mortally wounded. He was taken to a hospital and died from the injury; the weapon has not been located.

Ordonez fled on foot but was tracked by a California Highway Patrol helicopter to a backyard shed about a mile away and taken into custody. Police charged Ordonez with murder; at a sentencing hearing the family delivered victim impact statements and the judge imposed a lengthy prison term. If anyone knew Jose or witnessed the April 7, 2019 events at West Shaw Village Apartments, please share what you remember.
