Devonte Dickerson was 29 when he was shot outside his apartment complex in Central Fresno on July 5, 2018. Officers were alerted by ShotSpotter and a 911 call reporting multiple shots near Dakota and Abby; Dickerson was found with gunshot wounds to his upper extremities, taken to a hospital, and later died.

Investigators describe the attack as a drive-by shooting they believe was gang-related. Police struggled with uncooperative witnesses, were unable to identify the suspects or the vehicle, and made no arrests. Detectives also looked for connections to other shootings from the same period but found no definitive links.
