Jul. 8 The shooting death of a man early Tuesday at the Campus Pointe shopping center near Fresno State was was the 38th homicide of 2021 under investigation by the Fresno Police Department.
That’s about double the pace of the first half 2020, when through the end of June there were 19 homicide victims in 18 separate incidents in the city.
But an analysis of crime data released last week by the state Department of Justice reveals that by the end of 2020, the volume of deadly violence ballooned to 77 victims, making last year the deadliest for homicides in Fresno in more than 25 years.
To address the significant increase in deadly crashes here in the Central Valley, the California Highway Patrol began a new campaign called “Drive and Stay Alive Central Valley.”
