Sonny Tran, 35, was shot and killed on October 13, 2017, in Fresno, California. The shooting occurred around 10:30 PM on the 4800 block of East Normal Avenue after Tran had been outside his home with two unidentified individuals. Family members who heard the gunshot found him wounded in the roadway; he was taken to Community Regional Medical Center and did not survive.

Fresno Police said this killing was unrelated to another fatal shooting of Rahman Newsome that occurred a few hours earlier about three miles away. Tran’s death came amid a troubling rise in homicides in Fresno in 2017; by that date the city had recorded 46 homicides, up from 31 the previous year. No suspects have been identified and investigators say a lack of witnesses and tangible evidence has hampered many cases.

Did anyone in the area see or hear anything that night that could help investigators bring answers for Sonny Tran’s family?
