A fatal shooting in a Fresno shopping center parking lot ended the life of 30-year-old Danilo Rodas on the evening of March 29, 2026. Rodas was found about 5:45 p.m. in the parking lot of a Starbucks at Shaw and Dale avenues with a single gunshot wound to his upper body and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators describe the events as a brief but violent disturbance and say the encounter appears not to have been random. Police believe Rodas had gone to the parking lot to meet at least one person and possibly more, and surveillance footage recovered from the scene shows multiple vehicles were involved. Detectives have considered the possibility of more than one shooter, but as of early April 2026 no suspects have been publicly identified or arrested.

Anyone who was at the shopping center that evening or who has information about the meeting that led to Rodas’s death is asked to contact the Fresno Police Department.
