Police investigate shots fired near McKinley and Brooks in Fresno
No victim was found after shots were reported near McKinley and Brooks in central Fresno, but police said one building was hit by gunfire.
Gunfire struck a building near McKinley and Brooks avenues in central Fresno on Wednesday afternoon, but officers did not find a victim when they responded to the scene around 1:15 p.m.
Fresno police said the shooting remained under investigation as officers worked the area near the McKinley-Brooks corridor. Sgt. Diana Trueba Vega said officers had not immediately released information about any suspects or arrests.
The call added to concern in a section of central Fresno that has seen other recent gunfire reports and shootings in recent months, including incidents near McKinley and nearby intersections. The latest response again left investigators looking at a neighborhood where residents have already faced repeated disruption from shots-fired calls.
Police said public safety and neighborhood trust remain core priorities for the department. The Fresno Police Department also points to community-involvement efforts including Crime Stoppers, Neighborhood Watch and Citizens On Patrol as part of its effort to strengthen ties with residents and encourage information sharing when violence breaks out.
As investigators continued to process the scene, the immediate facts remained limited but significant: no one was found injured, one building was hit, and police had yet to say whether the shooting was targeted or random. For neighbors in the McKinley and Brooks area, the unanswered questions now matter as much as the damage itself.
