On October 13, 2017, 21-year-old Rahman Newsome was shot and killed in Fresno, California. The shooting occurred in the early evening near Normal Avenue and Mayfair Drive when an unidentified person fired multiple shots from a vehicle as it drove by; Newsome was walking and was found lying in the roadway. He was transported toward Community Regional Medical Center but died of his injuries. Authorities say the incident does not appear to be gang-related.

Police have not identified a suspect and have released images of an SUV believed to be involved, asking the public for help. The killing was one of two unrelated homicides in Fresno that night, bringing the city’s year-to-date total to 46. A year later family and friends gathered to commemorate Newsome, remembered as a well-respected young man determined to succeed.

If anyone has information about the vehicle, the shooting, or Rahman’s last movements, please contact the Fresno Police Department.
