FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) - A teenager was arrested after a man was shot at an apartment complex in Orange Cove Sunday afternoon, the Fresno County Sheriff's Office announced.
Deputies say around 1:10 p.m., Orange Cove police responded to the Orchard Village Apartments on South Avenue for
reports of shots fired.
Upon arrival, police were directed to a gunshot victim inside an apartment unit. The 34-year-old man was found concious, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, and was immediately rendered first aid.
The victim was eventually transported to a local hospital, where deputies say he was pronounced deceased.
Deputies say they responded to assist and eventually learned the area where the suspect fled after the shooting. Eagle One eventually located the suspect off the property a short distance away, and the 16-year-old was arrested.
