Roberto Briseno, 33, was shot and killed on February 3, 2013, in Fresno, California, after intervening in a break-in. Briseno confronted a group of suspects who were breaking into a neighbor’s car and pulled one of the men from the vehicle, touching off a physical struggle. The suspects fled but returned a short time later and opened fire; Briseno was critically wounded and later died from his injuries.

Witnesses said the shooters left in an older, small, white car. Police continued to ask the public for help as they pieced together witness statements and camera footage. The same night saw a separate, unrelated fatal shooting of Omar Silva, underscoring community concern about violence and gang-related activity.

If anyone saw the break-in, the older small white car, or has information about the suspects, please come forward to assist the investigation.
