Phillip Poe, 42, was shot and killed on May 22, 2014, in Fresno, California after confronting a young man, Matthew Porraz, who was vandalizing a store wall with graffiti. The confrontation escalated and Poe was fatally shot. The Fresno Police Department opened an investigation into the killing.

Porraz went on the run after the shooting and was helped by relatives and friends as he moved between locations. Police located him at a Fresno duplex and, during an attempt to take him into custody on September 16, 2014, officers fired six shots as he tried to flee through a window; one shot struck Porraz, killing him. Investigators later linked Porraz to other violent incidents, including the execution-style killings of Jose Lopez and Bulmaro Ramirez in early July 2014 that were believed tied to a drug deal.

Anyone with information about Phillip Poe, the events leading up to May 22, 2014, or other related incidents is asked to come forward.
