On the evening of March 29, 2026, 30-year-old Danilo Rodas was shot and killed in the parking lot of a Starbucks in northwest Fresno, California. The shooting happened around 5:47 p.m. near the intersection of Shaw and Dale avenues, a busy area close to Highway 99. Rodas sustained a single gunshot wound to his upper body and was pronounced dead at the scene despite first responders’ efforts.

Fresno police say Rodas was involved in a brief disturbance with at least one other person immediately before the shooting. Investigators characterize the attack as isolated and believe Rodas was acquainted with the person or people who shot him. Surveillance footage suggests multiple vehicles may have been involved, and the coffee shop was open with customers at the time.

Detectives canvassed the area for witnesses and video. As of early April 2026, no arrests had been announced and no suspects were publicly identified. Anyone who was at the Starbucks that evening or who has information or footage is asked to come forward.
