Teen found stabbed in Sunnyside High parking lot, police investigate
A teen was found with a chest stab wound in Sunnyside High’s parking lot just after 6 a.m. Fresno police say the attack likely happened elsewhere and the boy is expected to survive.
Police rushed to Sunnyside High School’s parking lot near Peach and Kings Canyon just after 6 a.m. Wednesday and found a teenager with a stab wound to the chest. The boy was taken to Community Regional Medical Center for surgery and was expected to survive.
Fresno police do not believe the stabbing happened on school property, even though the victim was found there. Investigators have not been able to determine where the attack happened, who was involved and what led to the violence because the teen has not been cooperative.
The victim was in his late teens and was in stable condition after surgery.
Sunnyside High is located at 1019 S Peach Ave. in Fresno and offers multiple career technical education pathways. All of Fresno Unified’s schools, offices, departments, Neighborhood Resource Centers and buses are designated Safe Place sites, and Student Resource Officers are police officers employed through a contractual agreement with the Fresno Police Department.
Anyone with information is being asked to contact the Fresno Police Department as investigators work to piece together where the stabbing occurred and why the teen ended up at Sunnyside High.
