Adelberto Ocampo was 17 and a high school student from Fresno when he was shot and killed on January 7, 2018. He was walking home near Elm and California in Southwest Fresno when a car approached; someone inside asked if he was affiliated with a gang. Ocampo said he was not, and an occupant then opened fire, fatally wounding him. He was not involved in criminal activity at the time, and family and friends remembered him as kind-hearted, enjoying dance, video games, and making people laugh.

Fresno Police investigators say the shots came from a compact car with three to four occupants and appealed to the public for help, offering anonymity and possible Crime Stoppers rewards. Vigils were held as the community and Ocampo’s loved ones mourned while detectives continued to seek witnesses and information.

If anyone saw a compact car in that area on January 7, 2018, or has other information about who was in the vehicle, please come forward.
